Longing for Jesus Navas

The left ankle of Jesus Navas said enough in the Europa League match played in the fall against PSG. At that point it was only the option of undergoing surgery, where he cleaned up the ankle, removing loose debris and regularizing the entire surface of the joint to prevent the recurrence of the old suffer discomfort I had.

Now he's back and the truth is that he has missed. If you stop to count the pure extremes currently marked differences from the sidelines will cost to complete the fingers of his hand, today there are not many pure and less extreme quality guy from Los Palacios. Navas represents a kind endangered species which has no other to survive in a world in which attackers are in fashion a banda changed.

Recall for a moment the minute 115 of the Final World Cup: Navas receives the ball from Puyol, right next to the band and the height of their own area. Pressed by Van der Vaart chose not to play the ball back or get rid of him with a kick, but it was a Dodge in the short space that remained on his back and went out like a shot right next to the sidelines. We all remember how he ended the rally: the center to any part of Torres, the poor clearance VdV the assistance of Cesc and Iniesta in my life! But none of this would have happened if Jesusito not had the nerve to play a dribble in an area so dangerous at a time so complicated.

Those things are what makes it so special to Jesus Navas. During the weeks that has been off the Seville has been a very turbulent period of now begins to raise his head. Tomorrow, the Seville has a very important match against Villarreal, belonging to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, a tournament that Hispalenses have won two of the last four years, being the defending champions. And Navas recovery is the best news we could have the Seville and, by extension, all in Spanish football, especially the bands in any field.
