Zinedine Zidane has always opted to defend his players amidst external criticism, and Keylor Navas is no exception.Despite his poor form as of late, the French boss has continued to trust the Costa Rican with the starting role.
This personal connection with each player is an important part of Zidane's style of management, and he'll continue to stand by his player until June at least, where he'll then make a decision based on his abilities.
In other words, he is still the indisputable starter, with Kiko Casilla waiting for a chance on the sidelines.
For now, Zidane has full trust in Navas and Casilla but is likely to turn to the market and talk with Real Madrid's board to bring in a star keeper during the summer.
David De Gea, Thibaut Courtois, and Gianluigi Donnarrumma are all options Los Blancos are considering, which means one of the current keepers will surely be on their way out.
First Zidane has talked to Navas and Casilla in private and then continued to back them in public as well.
While Navas' future is undecided, he will continue to be backed until any potential exit.
