Portillo Frustrated At Real

Real Madrid striker Javier Portillo says he is getting frustrated with his lack of first-team involvement this season.

"You have to know how to analyse situations and at the moment, mine is not good," he said.

"I don't want to appear to be a cry-baby and I can't allow it to prey on my mind, because if that happens then I'm going to end up doing myself in."

"The team is doing well and there have not been many rotations, but the truth is that I had hoped to play more and things haven't changed at all from last season."

"I hope this changes soon, because I am very ambitious, although nobody should think I want to leave Real Madrid."
