Jesus Navas he retired and in Seville everyone is asking one question: who will take the shirt with the number 16, the one worn by the legendary full-back and the unforgettable Antonio Puerta? Navas “pampered” that number when he returned to Seville and it will now remain vacant, but in the future it will certainly be worn by one of the many young people of the cantera: the favourites, reports Asthere are two, namely Juanlu and Carmona.
“What brought me here are the club's values, dedication and courage. Giving everything for my fans, for Puerta, for Reyes… I want whoever wears this shirt to give everything, like I did. This number is sacred, this club is sacred, this crest is sacred. I want them to give everything, like I did until the last day, and I think they understand what I mean”, Navas himself declared a few days ago, through tears.
The legend of the Andalusian club would therefore like the number 16 to be celebrated with the utmost responsibility. There were many Sevilla youth players who had him after the death of Antonio Puerta. Dani Salas, David Prieto, Diego Capel, José Campaña, Antonio Luna, Alberto Moreno, Luismi Sánchez and Fede Fazio have worn that shirt together with other established footballers, such as Denis Cherishev and the Montenegrin Stevan Jovetic, the last to wear it during the second midway through the 2016-17 season, shortly before Navas' return from Manchester City.
