Very few positive notes could be drawn from the match played by Sevilla FC against Real Sociedad at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, but one of them was the performance of Jesus Navas. Not so much because of the performance that the palace showed but because of the ability it had to complete almost 70 minutes of play despite his physical discomfort. The countdown to his retirement enters its final phase and, in addition to being applauded wherever he goes, he also receives praise from everyone who has met him throughout his professional career.
The last one to talk about the palace was the former coach Vicente del Bosquewhich was in Seville this Monday to present a campaign by Caryosa, a company dedicated to cardioprotection. The former coach was the first to call the Sevilla captain for the Spanish team. Questioned about his figure, Del Bosque did not hesitate to praise the player: “Yesterday was not a great game for anyone, but I still saw him in good shape and fulfilling his role within Sevilla.”
«I think that everyone who is your friend should be happy for a brilliant career in every sense. And, furthermore, he is admirable for his behavior and his exemplary nature. “I believe that he has been one of the players who has done the best and has done the most for football,” said the man from Salamanca.
Furthermore, Del Bosque recalled how He convinced the player to wear the international shirt: «Yes, it was also a task by Fernando Hierro. He came when we had news that he didn’t want to, that he wasn’t very up for the job. He came, convinced him and he was one more and from the first minute I think he was comfortable with us. “In addition, he was one of the heroes who helped us become champions.”
