Between self-criticism and a desire to rediscover his best form, Paquito Navarro speaks candidly. The Andalusian player discusses his  intense temperament , sometimes difficult to channel, while preparing a  new project with  Martín Di Nenno, a few years after their first association.

An intensity that leaves no one indifferent

For Paquito Navarro, everything is driven by emotion. On the field, this intensity is part of his DNA and largely contributes to his identity as a player. But it can also, at times, overflow.

Aware of this fragile balance, the Spaniard doesn't try to avoid the subject. In an interview with Joaquín Serna, he readily admits:

"The best partner is the one who allows you to perform at your best. Does that justify certain attitudes? No."

This step back illustrates a willingness to adjust, without denying its nature.

“I often make mistakes… and I’m reminded of them.”

Navarro doesn't hide any of his imperfections. On the contrary, he accepts them and exposes them publicly, even if it means facing the sometimes harsh gaze of social media.

"I make a lot of mistakes, and everyone makes sure to remind me of it on social media, but I accept it."

A statement that reflects a form of lucidity, in an environment where every reaction is scrutinized.

Sanyo analyzes Paquito Navarro's situation: "Paco is going through what we've all experienced."

A highly anticipated return with Martín Di Nenno

On the sporting front, a new chapter is beginning. As in 2021, Paquito Navarro will reunite with Martín Di Nenno to relaunch a joint project.

This association will officially begin at the Rome Major, after a short transition where Navarro will still play the last tournaments of the South American tour with Fran Guerrero.

Rediscovering familiar landmarks

Reforming a partnership that has already worked well means building on existing automatic responses. Understanding the game, communication, shared experiences: all these elements can facilitate a smooth transition.

It remains to be seen whether this association will be able to quickly regain its effectiveness in an increasingly demanding environment.

Through his words, Paquito Navarro appears more thoughtful, without losing what makes him unique. Between self-questioning and a return to a solid partnership, he embarks on a new chapter with  lucidity  and total  undiminished desire to perform.
