Two months after leaving for Costa Rica during confinement, in a private jet, Keylor Navas gave his news in a video posted by the club. In the latter, carried out as part of the main partnership of PSG (with the Accor group), the Parisian goalkeeper answers the questions of two supporters from his country and those of Anne-Laure Bonnet, journalist for beIN Sports.
This sequence, where the caretaker answers by videoconference in a very tree-lined setting, is for him the opportunity to talk about his first year at PSG and in the capital. "I love going out to Paris," says Keylor Navas, known for his tranquility off the pitch. We do some family walks. Paris is a very beautiful city, which we love with my wife and my family. Now I'm used to seeing the Eiffel Tower, the Champs Elysée and the Arc de Triomphe. We take the opportunity to gradually go around the capital. We walk, sit down and have a little orange juice in a cafe. It's always nice and it helps us understand the habits of Parisians. And this allows us to know new places. This is important, because that is how we make our lives easier. "
The triple winner of the Champions League with Real Madrid pushes cultural appropriation to unexpected limits. "I really like French music," he smiles. We listen to some French music in the locker room. I don't know how to pronounce it very well, but I like some music by Aya Nakamura. And I adapt to everything. I want to make the most of every moment and I take great advantage of every moment in Paris. "
"Become a cat on my goal line"
Navas also claims to have been particularly touched by the welcome received on his arrival. “When I arrived, we went to a hotel (Editor's note: from the Accor group ) to shoot an ad that the club would use to present me. For me, these were unique moments and sensations. I saw people very happy to see me here. It pleases me to see the recognition of people on the street. "
On the sporting level, the ex-Madrid explains that he runs "a lot, more than in all [his] life" during the cut imposed by the health crisis. He is also reassuring about the state of the PSG workforce after three months without competition: "I think we will take a short time to pick up the pace because we are all physically good. We, the guards, have a specific job. But if the physical condition is good, it will help me to become a cat on my goal line as soon as possible! "
Always positive, the doorman evokes the continuation of the Champions League, expected for the month of August, and a possible final victory: “I know it's difficult, but it's not impossible. So we are ready to fight in this competition. I know my teammates are super motivated. They work a lot at home, because they all know the importance of this competition, for the team, the club, the supporters. We know our responsibility. "
