MADRID, 11 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois recognized that the white team is “the greatest” because when they play a final “they usually win it”, as happened this Wednesday in the European Super Cup when they beat (2-0) the German Eintracht.
“The last three finals we’ve played we’ve kept a clean sheet. When Madrid plays a final they usually win it, it’s the DNA of this club and that’s why it’s the biggest,” acknowledged the Belgian in statements to Movistar Plus, collected by Europe Press.
Courtois started the season at the same level he finished the course. Therefore, he saved his own in the first part. “Kamada was alone with me, but I tried to calm down with my foot. We played a very complete game, maybe we could have scored a few more goals,” he said.
Asked about the start of the domestic competition this weekend, the goalkeeper recognized the added difficulty of playing the World Cup in November. “It is always more difficult because the teams have more desire against a champion. Above all, in the month of September and October, LaLiga and the ‘Champions’ are important because it is important to leave the club at the top of the table to go to the World Cup with the head well cleared,” he said.
In this way, the Belgian highlighted the good role of the team in preseason. “In general, we are doing well in the month of August. As of Sunday we have a week to prepare the matches, then the ‘Champions’ begins and it’s something else,” he concluded.
