The Costa Rica international, who joined from Levante last summer, wants more first-team opportunities at the Bernabeu.Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas has voiced his frustration with his limited playing time this season.The Costa Rica international has made just 11 appearances in all competitions since arriving from Levante after playing a key role in his country's remarkable to the quarter-finals of last year's World Cup.On Sunday, Navas made just his sixth Liga start for Madrid in the 4-1 victory over Espanyol, with have the 28-year-old shot-stopper having spent the entire season playing second fiddle to club captain Iker Casillas.
Casillas has come in for criticism in recent weeks, though, and Navas hopes he will be given more chances to impress - despite Madrid's interest in Manchester United No.1 David de Gea.If I don't play, I can't prove my worth, Navas, who was at fault for Espanyol's goal, told reporters on Monday.Just because I don't complain to the press doesn't mean that I'm not struggling. I wanted to play more. I never thought about being a back-up.It's true that I've had a difficult year, but I've always tried to do my best and be professional. When I played, I tried to do my best. My attitude and desire have helped me cope.I hope next year will be different and that I earn a starting role. I have a contract for five years and have a positive mindset.It's difficult, but I won't give up. I hope the opportunity arises at some point. Competition is good because it helps me improve.
