As one of the most distinctive birds in Costa Rica, the small hummingbird has elegant feathers and fast movements. Isn't this exactly what Real Madrid's goalkeeper Navas vividly described?
Kylor Navas (born 15 December 1986 in San Isidro, Costa Rica) is a Costa Rican footballer. In August 2014, he joined La Liga giants Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 10 million euros and signed a six-year contract, which people affectionately called "NaDa". In the 2015-16 La Liga season, on 9 March 2016, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid played Roma, Navas kept a clean sheet on his opponents and helped Real Madrid beat their opponents 2-0 at home to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. After this match, Navas did not concede a goal in eight consecutive Champions League games, breaking the record set by former Dutch international Edwin van der Sar in the Champions League for 658 consecutive minutes at Ajax. Recently, Paris Saint-Germain officially announced the signing of Navas. Today, we would like to thank the goalkeeper who has worked at Real Madrid for 5 years.
For the goalkeeper, Navas's height may have become his shortcoming to some extent, so "spare tire" on his path to the door god has become his label. In the season when Florentino has always wanted to bring in De Gea, Navas almost left Rome in 2015 as a bargaining chip to bring in De Gea, but he is the hero who has repeatedly saved Real Madrid from danger.
"I didn't cry that day, but when it was all over (the transfer failed), I went home and cried with my wife. I never wanted to leave Real Madrid, this is my home. Navas recalled afterwards. The cry of such a tough guy makes the listener sad, and the hearer is distressed.
Known for his agility, Navas is different from the traditional goalkeeper who is tall and big, and he is good at cutting off the forward's non-division on the edge of the small penalty area. It can be called the top reaction speed, calm and calm to face the game, the game can see many players facing Na Daddy's defense, are helpless. Navas stood like a pervasive wall in front of the door. There are many people who compare "Na Daddy" to "Black Panther". But I think he's more of a "hummingbird" in his country. Small in size, but its wings flapp rapidly and powerfully when flying; the male hummingbird is territorial, facing its own territory and trying to defend it, if an intruder invades the territory, the male will issue a warning, and hover in mid-air to flash rainbow feathers, if necessary, to drive away the intruder.
The 33-year-old Navas is like the protector of everyone in the team, "NaDa" is always a pillar of strength in their big rear, but this road he has walked for too long. Navas helped Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy for three consecutive years, but the nearly 6-year real Madrid journey is about to be drawn, and real Madrid players are reluctant and grateful to "NaDa".
We will always remember the Nata who had always believed in Christianity before the game, got on his knees and prayed sincerely.
Let us send our best wishes to Natay and wish him all the best in the new phase.
