Navas, the fireproof factor

Sevilla do not want Jesús Navas to add as many minutes of play in the middle of the season as happened last year. This caused the occasional physical problem that left him out of important appointments in the decisive stretch of the season.. Gonzalo Montiel landed for this, who hopes to make his debut in the next few days to demonstrate his qualities on the right flank. But for now, the numbers continue to reflect a reality: the incombustible Navas played the 270 minutes in a matter of the course without the rotations entering the scene.

Only Diego Carlos played everything with him at the moment. Both have the absolute confidence of Julen Lopetegui and hope to continue having prominence on the field every week. Europe arrives and the coach knows that he will have to assess the bet on breaks, although the case of Navas is always special. His role has almost no comparative framework with any piece of the squad and it remains to be seen now if Montiel can perform that role as a total player on the right wing. For that Monchi brought him, who trusts that his qualities will serve to relieve the palace of minutes and for the team to grow in benefits.

The 35-year-old renewed for three more seasons as a Sevilla player this summer. There were no doubts in Nervión about the ability of the right-hander to continue being key for the team in the pretense of growing and fighting for everything in the coming years. His gaze is also directed to the team that Luis Enrique trains. He wants to return to the Spanish team after the blow of being left out of the last European Championship and for this he wants to continue having that inexhaustible continuity in the Seville team.
