Juan Carlos Navarro made history last night as the first player to participate in 240 games with the Spanish national team and Juan Antonio San Epifanio, the former record holder, was in the gym to honor him when the game stopped in Navarro’s honor at the 7th minute because Navarro wears no “7”.
As Epi said: “I had the honor 24 years ago to break the record of Nino Buscató and today you get to beat me, I congratulate you. Congratulations on all your career, all your successes. you have made us happy with the national team. Congratulations on this day”.
Navarro himself added: “First of all, I would like to send a strong hug to Sergi Llull. He’s a great loss, we will try to do everything for him. Secondly, I thank my three girls (Ed. note: wife and two daughters) for being here. I thank my friends. I thank my family, the Federation; We have spent some great years, I am more than happy because I have improved myself as a person and as a player thanks to them. Let ‘s see if we can do something big again. We are very ambitious to do well. We hope you have a good time with us once more”.
