I had every intention of making it easier but it wasn't like that," he told a news conference ahead of Costa Rica's World Cup qualifier with Panama."Now, I feel really strong on a sporting and spiritual level and I'm happy with the titles we won because they're not easy. "Confidence is always important. I always have to thank the people who supported me. I must say thank you to Zidane and one way of showing gratitude is to play the best possible so that his decisions are backed up. "Everyone likes to have people who support you in tough moments."Navas made 41 appearances in all competitions as Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, La Liga and the Champions League.</blockquote>
