Thierry Courtois, father of the Real Madrid goalkeeper, has opened wounds from the past in an interview with Le Derniere Heure. Although Thibaut has always defended that his relationship with Keylor Navas He was good and his competition was healthy, his family member has not only been in charge of denying it, but has also poured a harsh attack on the figure of the Costa Rican.
When the Belgian arrived, from Chelsea, he had to spend some time acclimatizing in the capital, since he ended up in Valdebebas after the World Cup, once the season started and with Keylor Navas still in Madrid. “His transfer was a bit complicated. The campaign had already started and was late in preparation. But above all, Keylor was still there, “recalls the father.”
For Thierry, the 'Tico' did not behave appropriately with his son: “He had to wait two or three games to start. This did not facilitate their integration because Keylor was always there, there was an internal competitiveness difficult to live. Also external with journalists, who were in favor of Keylor. Once he went to PSG, everything eased. “
In addition, the father of the Madrid goalkeeper remembers Petr Cech's companionship compared to Navas: “Petr received it very well. He was the first who came to receive him in his first training session, he always gave him advice and helped him to integrate. He was a great companion she could always count on. The same could not be said in the case of Keylor. Once he left, things got easier. “
