Thibaut Courtois, as Zidane, was very critical of LaLiga for having forced Madrid to travel to Pamplona after spending four hours in a plane: “I have to thank the people of Osasuna for what they have worked in the field, but It is unfortunate what they have done with us or with the Ray. That this was going to happen has been known for a long time, but They forced us to take off in a frozen airport, we can't go back today and maybe not tomorrow when we have to play in Malaga on Thursday. They have to think that footballers are human beings, not a show. We have come to the stadium with the road full of snow. You have to look out for people's safety. We also have families. “
The Belgian goalkeeper insisted on his complaints to Movistar's microphones: “We do what they ask of us. We know that if we do not come we will lose all three points, but we only have to see how the roads or airports are. We also have families and we are not puppets who always have to play. You have to think about logistics, including yourselves (in reference to the journalist), before taking that step. “
Courtouis valued the point achieved in Pamplona: “We wanted to win this match after the conditions of the trip. Here it is always difficult to play. Obviously the conditions of the field were not easy. We have tried and we were not clear to generate chances.”
The goalkeeper assured about Madrid's game: “There were few spaces and there was a lack of marking behind them. The goal has been kept to zero “and when asked if it was a step backwards, he replied: “If you want to fight to win, LaLiga is one of the fields that makes the difference”.
