Recently, "AS" presented awards to former Spanish international, Sevilla, and Manchester City player Navas in recognition of his contributions and glorious career.
Navas, who is nearly 40 years old, is one of the greatest legends in Sevilla history. He retired last year, but his career has left countless brilliant records. At Sevilla, he made a total of 705 appearances, and if you include his games with Manchester City and the national team, this number will increase to 949 games.
He is the only Spanish player to win the World Cup, two European Cups and the Nations League, and in the 2010 World Cup final, it was his breakthrough that led to Iniesta scoring the winning goal, winning Spain a historic victory.
Navas' career began on November 23, 2003. In Sevilla's match against Espanyol, the then head coach Caparros gave the thin and agile right winger a chance to make his debut. At that time, youth training director Pablo Blanco went to Los Palacios to inspect a young goalkeeper and accidentally discovered the teenager who could "get around puddles". From that moment on, Navas began his legendary journey.
The rise of Navas is one of the key factors in Sevilla becoming a strong team in the 21st century. As a member of Sevilla, he won four Europa Leagues, two Copa del Reys, a Spanish Super Cup and a European Super Cup. In 2013, due to the club's economic crisis, he moved to Manchester City and helped the team win the Premier League championship and two League Cup championships.
While in England, he also transformed into a right back, then returned to Sevilla and ended his career with outstanding performance. He was even selected for the national team again and inherited the No. 16 jersey of his late teammate Puerta.
Although injuries eventually forced him to retire, Navas' football spirit and charisma made him an eternal idol in the hearts of Sevilla fans. Children, parents and adults all dream of becoming a player like him.
Today, Navas continues to receive honors in global football in recognition of his achievements with values and perseverance. When accepting the award from "AS", the world champion player said: "I am very happy to receive this award. It is an honor for me. Thank you everyone for your support."
