Keylor Navas

The hunted fight for the arch of Real Madrid between the Costa Rican Keylor Navas and the Belgian Thibaut Courtois is very important. So much so, that the Costa Rican archer asked not to be summoned by his Federation, to dedicate himself to the dispute with Thibaut on the merengue fence.

According to the Costa Rican portal Bola.vip.com, the start of the season is vital for Keylor Navas' aspirations to continue being the owner of Real Madrid's goal. For that reason, "the selected one of Costa Rica seems to have had a great gesture with who is one of his maximum referents. Interim coach Ronald Gonzalez did not include Keylor among those summoned for the Asia tour that will take place on the FIFA Date in September and say in Spain that the purpose was that it does not lose ground in the dispute of ownership with Courtois.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo's decision not to resort to the friendly duels of the Portugal national team was made public. This motivated the adaptation that is living the leading star in Juventus of Italy, a team in which although it has been able to go gearing, still has not the usual brightness of Madrid, nor the goals.

France24.com says that the absence of CR7 from the Lusitanian cast will be for several months and although Fernando Silva, coach of the national team, tried to de-dramatize by ensuring that Cristiano Ronaldo (33 years old) would be "fit for the selection for a long time". Many doubt that it continues to wear the country's shirt after the European Championship-2020 when it exceeds 35 years, which is why they prefer that Cristiano provide few but solid moments of football to the national team.

Lionel Messi

The silences that most stun, without doubt, are those of Leo Messi, who again and in a case as important as his continuity with the Argentina team, have preferred to remain silent. Although it is an open secret that the 10 of Barcelona will be absent to the "albiceleste" for some matches, especially the friendlies prior to the Copa América of Brazil 2019, the player prefers not to issue an opinion.

The Clarin of Argentina refers to this when he evaluates the first and only interview offered by Messi after the World Cup, given to Catalunya Radio, in which, although he preferred not to talk much about the national team, he let lose the fact that in the World Cup, "everything was very tight and even and there will be time to think about the future".

Although the phrase of Leo does not give much to wield, El Clarin got the words of a close the player source, which indicates that "today no expectations for the team. There are many things to change in the AFA. In his closest circle, they asked him, and he accepted it, not to think about the National Team, it's a long way from a process that has to start as soon as possible (the appointment of a technical director) and it's going very slowly. Two years, at least, and then we'll have to see how he can amalgamate himself in this whole issue, "said the source, which suggests that the future of the star in the national team is darker than clear.

Mohamed Salah?

While cases like Navas, Cristiano and Messi have a certain amount of frankness in common, that of Mohamed Salah is unusual. For everything and that the Egyptian midfielder decided to continue in his team, emanated a series of conditions to continue. Conditions that have fallen very bad not only to the fans of that country but to all lovers of the discipline.

According to the publication of the portal 90min.com, within the orders of Salah, incredible from all points of view, would be the following: the Federation must prevent being called to their hotel room. In addition, no one can ask for autographs or photographs before or after training. He must always be accompanied by two bodyguards, who must be outside his hotel room all the time, with another near the elevator of the apartment where he is staying.

The portal continues saying about Salah that "You can not ask him to be available for publicity presentations, interviews, meetings with fans, events related to sponsors or official visits." Finally, Salah's image can not be used by any of the federal sponsors.
