Chapter 378: Navas's Strength? Sixth Update

Chapter 378: Navas's Strength?

Perhaps for De Gea, a move to Manchester United is also an opportunity.

De Gea is certainly one of the most talked-about young goalkeepers in Europe at the moment, and De Gea is undoubtedly more shining than Keylor Navas now.

So De Gea believes that leaving Manchester United is a very big boost to his career.

Without hesitation, he left Madrid and went to Manchester.

Transfer talks between Atletico Madrid and Manchester are also largely over.

In the end, Manchester United were willing to pay £18 million to bring in David De Gea – a price that is already sky-high for a goalkeeper!

And this transfer price can also be ranked seventh on Manchester United's all-time list of signings - second only to Carrick on the 18.2 million list.

Soon after, the transfer was announced on both sides, with David De Gea returning from Atletico Madrid to Manchester United for £18 million.

Not long after the start of this winter window, such a big transfer case took place, which shocked the European media.

But on closer inspection, there is a real need for a young goalkeeper on United's side.

The introduction of De Gea will make Manchester United not have to worry about the goalkeeper in the next ten years. It's a good deal for Manchester United.

But what about Atletico Madrid?

Now Atletico Madrid fans are starting to worry about what the team will do in the second half of the season.

.......

Gao Bo is not worried about next season.

Keylor Navas has a decent foot, and in Atletico Madrid's tactics, it is not required that the goalkeeper must be involved in the team's passing at all times - Atletico Madrid is looking for a quick pass to the front of the pitch and creating opportunities for shooting through quick passes and movements.

Therefore, Gao Bo's requirements for goalkeepers are steady on the goal line and quick reaction to saves.

Both of these Navas points are good.

Therefore, after the team was assembled, the players quickly found out that the main goalkeeper's vest was hanging on Navas!

Navas also knows what role he is in now, and he is naturally very excited about Gao Bo's weight.

An unknown who came to La Liga from a small league directly became the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid.

This made the players feel a little bit unreal.

So in training, the players also wanted to try Navas's quality.

However, Navas, who is now twenty-five years old, looks very calm on the outside, despite his inner excitement.

During training, the players also quickly discovered Navas's abilities.

Even compared to De Gea, Navas is not far behind.

Strength is the best language of communication, so the players were quick to embrace Navas.

Within Atletico Madrid, it didn't cause much of a stir for Keylor Navas to replace De Gea.

After all, De Gea was only established as the main goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid this season, and it has only been half a season, and the players are not used to changing the main goalkeeper or something.

....

On January 4th, the Calderón Stadium was once again full of people!

In the 17th round of the league, the first match after returning from the winter break, Atletico Madrid hosted Racing Santander.

The biggest media attention before the game is undoubtedly who Atletico Madrid will start in this game - although De Gea's transfer formalities have not yet been completed, he will definitely not be able to play for Atletico Madrid in this game.

Gobo wouldn't have brought De Gea on at such a time.

Before the game, many media predicted that Assenjo would definitely be able to get a chance, after all, Assenjo was still competing with De Gea for the main goalkeeper last season, and although Assenjo is two years older than De Gea, he can be regarded as the best of the well-known young generation of goalkeepers in Spain.

In addition to Asenjo, another goalkeeper for Atletico Madrid is the young goalkeeper Joel, who was promoted from the B team.

Most media outlets believe that Gao Bo will choose between these two goalkeepers.

As for Navas........ It was completely ignored by the media.

In fact, the transfer of Navas is not even known to many Atletico Madrid fans.

It's just a 300,000 euro goalkeeper transfer, how many people's attention can it get?

In a team like Atletico Madrid, a lot of fringe players come and go, but in fact, it doesn't attract much attention at all.

But when the media got their hands on Atletico Madrid's starting line-up before the start of the seventeenth round, everyone was taken aback.

Atletico Madrid's starting goalkeeper is ..... Kyrol Navas!!

The Costa Rican who just made the switch back to Atletico Madrid?!

"Impossible, right?"

"Is it a mistake?!"

"Where did this guy come from?!"

"Coming and playing as a starter? It's a joke, right? ”

In the media gallery, reporters were discussing.

It's only been a few days since Keylor Navas came to Atletico Madrid?

Introduced on January 1st, registered on the second and started on the fourth?!!

It's a bit like that.... It's too casual, isn't it?!

"I heard that this is the goalkeeper that Gao Bo wants to introduce!"

A reporter said.

Journalists in the media immediately shut up.

Because until now, Gao Bo hasn't seen the time to look away.

Gao Bo is indeed very set when introducing players.

However, doubts are still held in the hearts of reporters.

They are also faintly looking forward to it.... What if Keylor Navas doesn't play well in this game?

This is certainly absolutely possible.

Navas has only been here for a few days? Has he integrated into the Atletico Madrid squad? Has he adapted to La Liga?

Regardless of his quality, these problems alone are enough to make a player play abnormally.

Journalists were scorching, and since Navas's appearance, almost most of the media's eyes have been focused on him.

Navas was very calm.

Before the start of this match, Gao Bo talked to him alone.

"You're the best goalkeeper in La Liga!"

Gao Bo's words moved Navas to tears, and it felt like a man who died as a confidant!

Keylor Navas is already a very confident person, and now he looks even more excited in a match like this!

Gobo is also not worried about Navas's performance or anything - Navas became famous in the World Cup, and he is a player who gets more and more excited the bigger the occasion.

However, in this game, Navas did not face a shooting test.

He made just one save in the whole game as their opponents Racing Santander were held back on the road.

After the winter break, Atletico Madrid's form seems to have not been affected at all.

Aguero exploded in this game, he scored a hat-trick and assisted Koke to score!

Atletico Madrid's first game after the winter break was a 4-0 victory!

Naturally, Navas's quality is not evident in such a game.

After all, the pressure on Racing Santander is too small!

The reporters were a little disappointed that they couldn't see that Navas's quality made them a little uncomfortable.

However, Atletico Madrid's opponent in the next game will definitely have a lot of money.

The second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals!

Atletico Madrid at home to Barcelona!

Barcelona, the opponent, can definitely see how many pounds and taels Navas has, right?
