When a good part of the critics, the suits and several legends of Real Madrid asked for preferential treatment for their goalkeeper Keylor Navas, the Costa Rican packed his bags and left. Why?
A year and a half has passed and it is finally known, from his mouth, what determined him to leave the team. The question remains: if the triple crown of the Champions is not enough to benefit from the massive support of the club, then what is it?
The goalkeeper saves his fans and colleagues, including the Colombian James Rodríguez. But then he aims head-on against those who have never been convinced of his talent.
“I feel the affection of everyone here in Paris. In Spain I had the feeling that part of the club does not fully believe in me. I will always be eternally grateful to Real Madrid fans for the unconditional support they have shown me and that even today “It shows that they have changed the team. And my Madrid teammates have always believed in me. Here at PSG things are a little different. Everyone believes in me and I try to match their confidence in every game,” he said. an interview with PSG magazine.
Without saying the name of the president Florentino Pérez, the person responsible for Courtois’ arrival at the club when Zidane himself had said that he was satisfied with Navas, you can read between the lines, in his answer.
Keylor believes that each achievement dressed in white was on his own merit and points out that he never wanted to be anyone’s shadow: “I didn’t try when I came to show that I’m better than Iker and that my career will be more successful. than I simply tried to take advantage of the opportunity they gave me to work hard, humbly and do my best. And I also came to Paris to do, to give my best and to raise as many titles as possible with my colleagues, for the fans and for my family ”.
The differences for the goalkeeper are obvious: “there are two great teams that are both trying to make history. When I arrived in Paris I felt the love of the club, they received me incredibly well and that is important for me”, he concluded.
