Soccer: Jesus Navas putting struggles behind him

Sevilla are one of the Champions League dark horses and they continue to chase Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga. One key factor in their fine form is Spanish international Jesus Navas.

Navas' inspired wing play has caught the eye over the past few seasons and, with his work ethic and dribbling skills, he is one to watch when the Champions League returns in February.

His international career has not gone as smoothly, though. Navas' struggles with panic attacks have hindered his hopes of playing in World Cups and European Championships because of the difficulties of spending so much time away from home.

But he claims to have overcome his anxiety and he might just be a secret weapon for the Spaniards this summer in South Africa.
