There has been a commotion in the Belgium by his decision Thibaut Courtois.
The great goalkeeper will not strengthen his country in the match against the Estoniaas he suddenly withdrew from the team’s mission, with the main reason being that he did not get the armband after his injury De Bruyne (first leader), but this went to Lukaku!
Belgium’s coach, Domenico Tedescopublicly accused the Real Madrid goalkeeper, stressing that he was shocked by his decision, however the Courtois took a stand via social media, expressing his disappointment with Tedesco’s attitude and clarifying that he had withdrawn from the mission due to injury.
In detail what he wrote:
“I was surprised this afternoon when I heard the coach’s press conference, in which he gave a partial and subjective interpretation of the private conversation we had after the match against Austria.
I want to make it clear that this is not the first or last time I have spoken to a coach about locker room issues. But this is the first time anyone has made it public. I am deeply disappointed by this fact and I want to make it clear that the coach’s assessments do not correspond to reality.
In the conversation we had I asked him to explain and make decisions to avoid similar situations in the past that hurt us, all this for the public and not for my personal interest. To be or not to be the captain of the national team is neither a trivial matter nor a random decision, it should be solely his decision. This is what I tried to communicate to him but I did not achieve my purpose.
I insist that I never demanded anything and that I have already spoken to my team-mate Romelu Lukaku to clarify things. At the same time I want to make it clear that I did not have any conversation with any other teammate, as written.
Also, yesterday afternoon I was tested for a problem with my left knee. The medical staff of my club and the national team were in communication, they examined all the material and made the decision for me to leave the camp”.
