Jess ercis NavaS Hang up the shoes. The dressing room of Santiago Bernabeu ERMO will be the place where The Legend of Spanish football will change for the last time as a professional. On the 30th, at his home, in severniches-bizju ocean, he will be honored so much that the player won 15 titles, eight of them with Sevilla, and the only one with the Spanish national team he was a four-time champion.
But it will be at chamart Ocean where Navas ‘ career reaches its last point. He will live his 33rd match against Madrid, a figure surpassed only by Barcelona (41). The account, which, like almost everyone, lost more than won (18-10), but Jesus could tell that the first time he collided with the White giant was to hit his land. And in his lair.
On December 22, 2004, exactly 20 years ago, he appeared on the green from the Bernabeu in the 62nd minute to take the place of Carlitos. Of the 19, Sevilla de capar Oches won, thanks to Julio Baptista’s goal. This was the result with which the match ended. Sevilla have won twice in their last 36 visits to Chamartin. There were two Navas: one in 2004 and 2-4 from December 7, 2008.
“Tender.”This is the definition that appears next to Jess Ayers Navas on the scorecard of that away match two decades ago. The natural tenderness of a 19-year-old turned 1 year old, but he had already put his head in first place a year earlier: 11-23-2003, against Espanyol.
Today Navas is 39 years old, behind him are more than 900 matches between Sevilla, Manchester City and the national team, an impressive record and the subsequent effects on his body of such a long and intense career.
In memory of the matches that are ending now, the victory in chamart Ocean on their first visit is a special moment. Because Sevilla knows very well the cost of winning in a stadium where its balance sheet since 2008 is 14 defeats, some of them colossal, and a draw.
Anger at the Bernabeu
Sevilla’s victory in Chamartin on Navas ‘ first visit ended with the Bernabeu’s intense anger at his team. With the arrival of La Liga at the equator, the White defeat knocked the team out of the Champions League zone and it was self-evident that the title had to be booked in Barcelona.
Despite the tightness of the result, many fans left before the end.Those who remained had to dismiss the team coached by Mariano Garc Irma Reimann with a good reprimand.
The coach was the senior coach to whom he referred. The fund took note. In the eleven against Sevilla, with an offensive front with Gotti, Beckham, Zidane, Vigo, Raul and Owen, Ronaldo was not there. The Brazilian came in the first half, but he deserved nothing. “It’s frustrating what’s happening to us with our good players. It’s a very disappointing thing,”” Beckham said after the match.
Sevilla’s attack on the Bernabeu was in the last match before the Christmas holidays. Your neighbor Irma remiren never managed the White team again. After getting in front of the ship after the frightened Camacho at the beginning of the season, the Odessa cat was sentenced to the club, although it was assumed that Christmas would give him a truce.
“Mariano has full confidence in me and the club, “” Arrigo Sacchi, Blanco’s sporting director, said at Marca on December 24. However, on December 30, Madrid announced the signing of a new coach: Brazilian Vanderlei Luxemburg.
Meanwhile, happiness was settling in Seville was entering the best period in its history.
Children
Joak Ern kabar ERMS was forming a team that was on the verge of setting the record for the nervy Ern entity. To a team of veteran players (Javi Navarro, Alvaro, Esteban, Martin…) He added the freshness of a generation of young people invited to change history: Sergio Ramos, Navas, the sad Puerta, Capel, two twenty-year-old Brazilians (Adriano and Dani Alves)…
In that collection, Navas ‘ figure attracted attention due to his fragile appearance: 1.70 and barely 60 kilograms. There were not a few who assured that he would not go far because of his physical fitness. His appearance as a child was such that one day the House of ERMO Silva thought that he was the son of someone from the club. Then she was surprised to see him training next to her; even more so because of the quality and speed that the child who was put on a special diet had to gain weight.
After two decades of all that, the Bernabeu releases a unique player. A football player at that time, respected and loved by everyone. And who last season asked Jude Bellingham for his shirt. Where will the match go from your last official match?
