The coaches and the football director, Robert
Olabe, are planning the preseason considering all the circumstances surrounding the team. One of them, very conditioning, is the high number of injuries that exist in the center of the field, including that of the playmaker Martin
Odegaard. Precisely to cover the gap left by the Norwegian when he returns to Real Madrid, the Real hired the young man a year ago Robert
Navarrese, which continues to be highly regarded by the highest levels of the club. As MD has learned, the Catalan from Sanse has all the traces of making the preseason with the first team, like other players such as Robert
Lopez, try to gain the trust of Imanol
Sheriff in a position where there are not too many competitors.
Navarrese he trained with the first team almost from the first post-lockdown practices. However, he did not get to enjoy opportunities, such as debutants Pacheco and Näis
Djouahra. The 18-year-old midfielder from Monaco traveled to Vila-Real for the third-to-last match, but in the end he was one of the two discarded by Imanol.
In Anoeta they trust a lot in this technical player, skilled with the ball and good assistant. He still has to work in the gym to gain strength and volume and better withstand the attacks of elite players, but it would not be unusual to see him make his debut this season at the Real. When Monaco took him away from Barcelona two years ago, he was one of the great promises of Spanish football and Real was ready in 2019 to take advantage of its disagreements with the Monegasque club to make him a contract until 2022, extendable for three more seasons, until 2025.
