Keylor Navas' Outpouring Of Real Madrid's Discardment
JAKARTA - Goalkeeper Keylor Navas admits he does not understand the events that led to his departure from Real Madrid this summer. The Costa Rican player joined Paris Saint-Germain from Madrid after helping 'Los Blancos' lift three Champions League titles.
Navas was a regular goalkeeper for 'Los Blancos' for three seasons before the Spanish giants landed Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The Belgian goalkeeper pushed Navas - who moved to the Santiago Bernabeu from Levante in 2014 - out of number one Madrid to join Ligue 1 champions PSG.
The 32-year-old now explains that he doesn't understand why Madrid want to get rid of him or why his relationship with the club has deteriorated over the past twelve months.
"With Zidane, I have had a good experience, he defended me many times and I thank him for his trust in me," Navas told El Chiringuito TV. Launching Football Espana, Thursday, December 5.
“Then there are things that happen, and I don't know why they happen, but they happen. I don't think that someone disappoints me, I don't think they think it's my time to be in Madrid. And then came a team that told me they trusted me and wanted me, "explains Navas.
On his return to the Bernabeu when PSG traveled on matchday 5 of the Champions League, continued Navas, he entered the dressing room for the home team. There, the people greeted him with chants.
“I made mistakes in the past and people have always supported me. "I always remember celebrating our titles, when we came out (from the dressing room hallway) one by one, the love the fans showed me was incredible," said Navas.
"I always thought about 'what am I going to do when I get signed by the big team?' Whether I'm going to jump, cry or scream, I'm always thinking about the future. I want to do everything at the same time. "
