Navas angered by Real Madrid's Malaga stalemate


An angry Keylor Navas says Real Madrid's draw with
Malaga was "difficult to explain" but says their
defensive form is encouraging.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas admits his side were left
"angry" at their failure to score against Malaga in Saturday's 0-0
draw.

Rafael Benitez's side enjoyed 69 per cent of possession and
fired in 31 efforts on goal, but they were unable to find a way
past the brilliant Carlos Kameni.

The results means Madrid have slipped behind both Villarreal
and Barcelona in the Liga table after their respective victories
over Atletico Madrid and Las Palmas, and Navas is determined
to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.

"It is difficult to explain it. We have to be calmer and see where
we made mistakes. We go away quite angry because it is a
game that we could have won and we did not manage that," the
Costa Rica international said.

"Things move on, the league is very long and we are going to try
not to drop more points, and to get closer to our aim.

"I am not worried about my performance because I always try
to do work well. Thank God I was able to respond at the times
when my team needed me.

"We are working well in defence and it is a shame that we were
not able to get goals today. In football, sometimes the
opponent's goal just refuses to allow the ball in and it is not
possible to score."

Navas reserved some praise for opposite number Kameni,
whose superb stop from Jese Rodriguez's low drive was a
highlight of an accomplished display.

"He had a great game, he is a hardworking person and is able to
recognise the work of others and that is positive," added Navas.
