Keylor Antonio Navas Gamboa

In the professional circle, Keylor Navas received the nickname Iron Man for reliability and calmness, Panthers for saving saves, Holy Hands for praying before the match. At the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Navas brought the national team to the quarterfinals and was named Man of the Match three times. With Caesar Navas from Rubin, they are only namesakes.

Keylor Antonio Navas Gamboa, Costa Rican, was born in this Central American country, in the settlement of Pere Celedone. The family lived in poverty. When Keylor was little, the parents of Sandra and Freddie went to work in America, leaving their son in the care of his grandmother. But before that, his father managed to instill in Kaylor a love of sports - the boy was playing the ball from the age of 5, and it was not for nothing that the player wrote on Twitter that football is his life.

Then Navas got into the Pedregoso football school, where he studied for 7 years. The boy did not qualify for the club system of his hometown, having received a disappointing characteristic - physically weak and disappointing growth. It is now 185 cm and 78 kg in Keylor, and then the invitation of the capital "Deportivo Saprissa" helped to continue his career.

But the living conditions turned out to be so bad that the young football player was already going to hang up his boots, if not for the call to the youth team. Subsequently, with "Saprisa" Navas will become the six-time champion of Costa Rica.

About what a difficult childhood the goalkeeper of "Real" had, a documentary was filmed under the meaningful title "Man of Faith". In order to get an exclusive from the home arena of the football player "Santiago Bernabeu", the directors had to obtain special permission.

In 2010, a big breakthrough took place in the Costa Rican's sports biography - he was noticed by the management of the Albacete club, which played in the Spanish Segunda. Andres Iniesta once started there. The transition was facilitated by goalkeeping coach and former national team player Luis Gabello. In the second Spanish division, Navas stayed only a year.

When the "clockwork cheeses" flew out of the second league, the goalkeeper was rented by the Valencian Levante Union Deportiva, which had previously created a sensation by entering the Europa League for the first time. Impressed by the player's play, the club finally bought Navas for € 800 thousand. As part of the “frogs”, Keylor played two seasons, becoming the team's main goalkeeper.

In the 2013-2014 season, the goalkeeper became the La Liga record holder in the number of saves - 163, thanks to Navas' panther jumps, the club got into the top five of the Spanish championship in terms of the minimum amount of goals conceded.

The footballer spent the 2014-2015 season in Real Madrid and immediately went to the Club World Cup, from where he returned with a victory. The transfer cost of the transfer from Levante was a record € 10 million for the latter. The Royal Club offered the new goalkeeper a salary of € 2.2 million, raising it to € 4.5 million next season.

However, the newcomer did not immediately take the place of Iker Casillas. With Carlo Ancelotti, Keylor risked becoming like Mexican Guillermo Ochoa and not leaving the bench. The last word remained with Rafael Benitez, and Navas finally got into the base.

In the Madrid jersey, Keylor has won the world club championship twice and three times in the Super Cup and the UEFA Champions League. Moreover, Navas was the first to receive the trophy of the last tournament among his fellow countrymen.

In 2017, the sports publication AS reported about the possible sale of the "author of magic saves" to Milan, since the Italians refused to renew the contract of Gianluigi Donnarumma. By the way, the Costa Rican at that time "went up" to € 18 million.

English Arsenal joined the fight for the goalkeeper of the creamy, Arsene Wenger saw in Keylor the successor of Petr Cech, whose physical form at that time left much to be desired. However, Navas found complete understanding with the coaching staff and calmly played the entire season in Spain.

Keylor's family, as the football player said in an interview with Spanish radio, is very religious, although he really began to immerse himself in religion late, at the age of 19. Navas believes that any faith should be treated with respect, everyone has a choice in which canons to live. The goalkeeper prays before each match, goes to church twice a week, and even met his life partner there. According to the goalkeeper, the Spanish media underestimate him, despite the effectiveness of the game and dedication.

It is calming to understand that the player values ​​the club and supports the environment.

The footballer's wife, Andrea Salas, is a striking beauty and former model. The girl left the podium when she married Navas in 2009. Non-publicity is her credo, there is not even an account on Instagram, and her husband has few photos on the page. The couple are raising two children - daughter Daniela from a previous relationship, Andrea and a common son, Mateo. Close friends of Salas and Navas are the family of Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez.

The athlete said that a meager diet in childhood made him a gourmet, Keylor loves national cuisine and does not mind standing by the stove.

There was a place for charity in the life of a football player. Navas participates in games, the collection from which is directed to good goals. In addition, Real Madrid have their own charitable foundation, which is overseen by former player Emilio Butrageno, who is now director of interinstitutional relations. The fund finances 260 projects in 72 countries. Keylor's Real Madrid teammate Toni Kroos has set up a similar foundation in his home country, Germany.

Having won the Spanish Championship in 2017, Keylor appeared bald in front of journalists, saying that he did it in support of children with cancer, to whom he dedicated the victory.

The success of the "royal club" in the example then came into question due to the injury to the goalkeeper, received by Navas in training for the Costa Rican national team. Keylor dropped out of the tournament for 2 weeks. In addition, the goalkeeper set a kind of anti-record, making coaches and spectators nervous when he made his own goal in a meeting with Betis. This has not happened with Real for 42 years.

In May 2018, Keylor set another record - he won the 100th victory under the Real Madrid flag. According to statistics, Navas played 141 matches for the Spanish club, and the goalkeeper's efficiency rate was 71%.

This year, Real Madrid have won the 13th Champions League Cup in their history, and Navas has been lucky to lift the trophy three times in a row, something that no league goalkeeper has ever before. The closest pursuers of the Spaniards - Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Liverpool and Milan - are twice as few, and it is almost impossible to repeat the achievement of Real Madrid.

In addition to Keylor, his colleagues also recorded the records. Head coach Zinedine Zidane has won 9 awards during his leadership at the Royal Club, of which three in a row in the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo is a five-time Cup winner.

The footballer dedicated the victory to the club fans and explained that luck smiles on those who work hard and do not lose faith. Throughout the season, according to Navas, there were difficult moments, but the team believed in themselves and therefore enjoys the title of Kings of Europe. Keylor would have dreamed of ending his career in a club like the Creamy.

Periodically arising assumptions that David De Gea may be called in his place, the goalkeeper perceives as motivation to continue his favorite business. However, after Zidane's departure from Real Madrid, rumors resumed about the transfer of the Costa Rican to Chelsea, to replace Thibaut Courtois.

At the 2018 World Cup, the Costa Rican national team will play in Samara. Even in test matches, Navas spoke of the Russian national team, the host of the tournament, as a strong team. The goalkeeper noted that Artem Dziuba would have looked good in the Spanish Championship.
