Try to find out what this means: Navas, «po zí»
This time I am attacking with the same writer but a different topic: football!! I mentioned before, Maria Jose Navarro, is an unconditional fan of the Atlético de Madrid and is a columnist in a national newspaper.
This article was published today and I hope this will be easier than her Leonor bit
Navas, «po zí»
En una rueda de prensa insólita y sin precedentes, Jesús Navas nos ha contado que ya quiere ir a la Selección. O sea, que sí, que ahora ya quiere y que le mola, siempre y cuando la cosa le pille a tiro de piedra y tenga cobertura todo el rato para char- lar con la familia. Lo próximo será que Raúl convoque otra para decir que ya desea ser titular en el Madrid de nuevo, o que Guti cite a los medios para comentarle a Pellegrini que ya le puede perdonar. Navas asegura que está tranquilo y que, siempre y cuando así lo estime oportuno Vicente del Bosque, hará el favor de echar un ratito con la Roja. Le agradecemos que aña- da que la decisión la tiene el seleccionador, porque ya pensábamos que los futbolistas se convocaban solos.
Se antoja ridícula esta puesta en escena. Se antoja un paripé sin sentido que Hierro ha obligado a perpetrar al jugador para cubrirse las espaldas, no vaya a ser que el chiquillo pegue la espantá y queden la Federación, Hierro, Del Bosque y hasta la Selección coloraos como tomate pera. Aunque, ahora recuerdo que el ex siete de España compareció antes de la Eurocopa para disculpar el mal gusto de Luis Aragonés, así que estamos curados de espanto.

My final attempt...
In an unusual and unprecedented press conference, Jesús Navas has told us that now he wants to go to the Spanish National Team. That is to say that, yes, now he wants to and thinks it would be awesome, as long as it’s close by and he’s within cell-phone range and can chat with his family. The next will be that Raúl convenes another to say that now he wishes to be Starter for Madrid again, or that Guti makes a date with the media to tell Pellegrini that now he can forgive him. Navas affirms that he is satisfied, and that, as long as Vincente del Bosque deems it appropriate, he’ll be so kind as to spend a little time with la Roja. We thank him for adding that the decision is in the hands of the selector (coach?), because up until now we thought that the soccer players appointed themselves.
This staging seems ridiculous. It seems like a meaningless pretense that Hierro has forced the player to enact to cover his back, so that it won’t turn out that the boy does a disappearing act, leaving the Federation, Hierro, Del Bosque, and even the Spanish National Team with egg on their faces (thanks Izononi). Although, now I remember that Spain’s old #7 (Raúl) appeared before the European Cup to forgive (excuse?) the tastelessness of Luis Aragonés, so we needn’t fear. (lit: we are cured of fear)
By the way:
Navas, «po zí»
pozi...pues sí, very colloquial usage. We often say this here in Madrid. I think this all comes from a man who used to be on TV and used to say "pozi" instead of "pues sí" and we are stuck with it now 
Look what Frikipedia has to say about el Pozi

Though I still remember it was at the displeasure of (team manager) Luis Aragonés that the old number 7 (Raúl) appeared before in the Eurocup, so we are (finally) cured of that abomination/horror (the horror being Raúl).
I had to look into the background of all of these people and it appears that Raúl held the distinction of having the most goals scored for the national team (thanks in part to the fact that his best friend Hierro was on the team to pass him the ball), but that Luis Aragonés (and some fans) felt that there were other players that played his position that were equally deserving of a chance to play for the national team, so he was left of off/retired from (depending on which account you read) of the national team but continues to play for Real Madrid. I am guessing that she feels, too that number 7 is overrated and that other more deserving players had been left off the national team because of him. So she is basically saying that thanks to Aragonés the national team is no longer forced to guarantee a spot for Raúl.
Someone said these should be shorter... I'm solving that problem by posting it in pieces jejeje

Second Try
In an unusual and unprecedented press conference, Jesús Navas has told us that he now wants to go to the Spanish National Team. That is to say, really, that he wants it right now, and that it would be cool with him as long as the thing was kept nearby and that he have cell phone coverage/have freedom to speak with (call) his family anytime. The next thing you know will be that, Raúl (González – or simply “number 7”) will call another press conference in order to say that he wants to be the star player in Madrid again, or that Guti (The co-captain of Real Madrid, José María Gutiérrez) will meet with the press to tell (Manuel) Pellegrini (Manager of Real Madrid) that he forgives him now. Navas swears that he is satisfied and that as long as Vicente del Bosque (coach of the Spanish National Team) sees it fit, he would be pleased to stay (play) with the Red (Spanish National Team) a while. We are glad that he added that it’s the manager’s decision (to make) because we thought that the players had already gotten together on their own (and made the decision).
This staging (this whole thing) seems odd (ridiculous.) It feels like a meaningless farce that Hierro has forced the players to enact in order to cover their backs, on the off chance that the boy gets scared off and starts a stampede leaving the League, Hierro, Del Bosque and the team embarrassed. Although, I still recall that Spain’s last number seven appeared before the Eurocup (European football championships) in order to get rid of the poor taste left by Luis Aragones, so we’re over that fear.

(translated with a little help from a friend jejeje)
In an unusual and unprecedented press conference, Jesús Navas has told us that he now wants to go to the Spanish National Team (la Selección de Fútbol de España.) That is to say, really, that he wants it now already (he wants it and he wants it now), and that it would be awesome/great provided that it get him closer (a stones throw away) and that he have coverage (be allowed) to speak with the family anytime(I imagine "family" might be referring to the media or possibly his former team but may could be taken literally, if it were to mean that he could avoid feeling homesick if he were to make this move). What will be next is that Raúl (González – the team’s top scorer) will call another (press conference) in order to say that he still wants play with Real Madrid, or that (The co-captain of Real Madrid, José María Gutiérrez) 'Guti' meet with the press to tell (Manuel) Pellegrini (Manager of Real Madrid) that he already forgives him. Navas swears that he is satisfied and that as long as Vicente del Bosque (coach of the Spanish National Team) sees it fit, he would be pleased to stay (play) with the Red (Spanish National Team) a while.

Although, I still recall that Spain’s last number seven happened before the Eurocup (European football championships) so that I can get rid of the bad taste in my mouth (figuratively) left by Luis Aragones, as soon as we are cured of (that) fear.
Okay, teach, so what does "curado de espanto" mean????
Zenejero: This question is not for natives. Have a look at my other threads about "try to find out..." some of them are so difficult even natives said they had never heard this stuff, jeje
But I have some fans, Seith is one of them, Izan and Goyo are too...let's see if a woman gives it a shot this time I mean, with this guy on the thread...I hope so
Some sentences:
Guti (The co-captain of Real Madrid, José María Gutiérrez) will meet with the press to tell (Manuel) Pellegrini (Manager of Real Madrid) that he forgives him now.
Fact is that she is being ironic here , she is saying that Guti is telling the coach that he (the coach) may forgive him now.
Actually, did not happen, as guti has not been selected to play the next match.
We thank him for adding that the decision is in the hands of the selector (coach?), because up until now we thought that the soccer players appointed themselves.
this is also highly ironic, she is saying that she is thanking Navas for mentioning it is up to the manager/coach ..and she adds that "we already thought it was up to the players themselves /to select themselves".
Oh, I am just seeing :
We are glad that he added that it’s the manager’s decision (to make) because we thought that the players had already gotten together on their own (and made the decision).
Izan, very good catch on this!!
All in all I am very impressed by the deep digging you all did into this text. You needed to find all the names first and all what was behind this text, I am truly impressed. 
I think Izan got very close...but Valerie got even closer...although she did have an insight to the whole lot thanks to Izan...well, I am choosing both!! jeje I loved the starter,,,I am sure you have a football player in your group of friends, Valerie, hmmmm, now that I think of it, might be Navas himself 
Good job everybody, thanks for participating. Next one will come up soon

I am sorry, Izan, you did not quite get this last part.
Let me explain:
she is actually criticising Raúl, who she obviously dislikes (grrrrrr 
) for appearing in a press conference and saying he was sorry for Aragones's bad taste ( he called a black player names...). she thought it was not his call to do that.
curado de espanto: We've seen it all before, so we are used to it. Nobody really got that part
No puedo. 
Only to be shot down and sent to the dunce corner....
Izan...this is really good...you are just stumling over the last sentence...hmmmm, hint: she does not like Raúl. Let's see if you can fix that and let's see if Valerie does not beat you to it Her starter and her cell phone range was the best on that part so far.
