Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has warned his team mates not be complacent and to keep their focus on each game as it comes.
Los Blancos have won their last 20 consecutive matches, setting a new Spanish record, and head into the winter break top of the table. This week they take part in the Club World Cup and are in search of their fourth trophy of the calendar year, having won the Champions League, Copa del Rey and European Super Cup in 2014.
Speaking to the club’s official website, the Costa Rican international said the players must be switched on for 90 minutes of every game they play or they will pay the price.
“We must be prepared to close out games and stay focused. This team cannot make mistakes, we must stay focused 100 per cent and work to be prepared at that time. Every victory is celebrated, we are delighted when we win. We know we’re at a winning club where you have to triumph; every game that brings us closer to our goals of being champions,” he said.
Speaking about his own situation, Navas said he is thrilled to be part of the playing staff and is loving his time in the Spanish capital.
“It’s amazing to be at Real Madrid. It’s a dream for any player that, when it becomes a reality, is difficult to explain. I think about everything I’ve been through to get here. Playing in the Champions League…I enjoyed it from the moment we left the changing room. The only way I’d heard that anthem before was on television and being there was a dream come true.”
