“I can’t see my Seville like this”
Last Thursday, Sevilla officially announced the decision of Seville team captain Jesus Navas to leave the club after the end of the season. In an online statement, Sevilla assured that this is how the legend conveyed it.
In Wednesday’s match against Cadiz, which was his 500th First Division game, he was substituted in the dying minutes and left the field visibly emotional. It was surprising that the club did not give him credit for achieving such a symbolic figure. Pictures speak louder than words and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Well, this Friday after midnight, the Los Palacios player publicly spoke through social networks about his departure and attacked the current board.
“I always thought I could stay as long as I wanted, but no one dispelled my doubts.”
In a lengthy letter, the still Sevilla footballer spoke of the sadness he feels “for the day I never thought would come” in which he bids farewell to “my Seville”. The veteran right-back, a former striker, admitted how difficult the situation is for him and that “he was always told he could stay as long as he wanted”, which he now doubts more.
