Thibaut Courtois won the Yashin Cup as the best goalkeeper in the world. But this recognition was not enough for the Belgian, who was angered by the results of the final list of the Ballon d\u2019Or<\/p>\n
The Real Madrid goalkeeper complained about his last position in the vote, which his colleague Benzema considered the winner: \u201cYou win the league and you win the Champions League, and your team wins thanks to your saves \u2026 and you are only seventh<\/p>\n
In an interview with the French magazine L\u2019Equipe, Courtois was again angry \u2013 four days after the Paris concert \u2013 and again saw the need to praise himself. \u201cLast year, we won the Champions League, it was not only thanks to Vinicius, Valverde, Benzema or Rodrygo, but also Courtois,\u201d said the Belgian goalkeeper<\/p>\n
The player insisted on his importance in Ancelotti\u2019s team: \u201cHere in Madrid, I also have to start the attacks, I, with the first pass, I will decide how we will prepare the attack or how we will do it away from the pressure of the opponent<\/p>\n
The former Chelsea and Atletico player explained. \u201cToday you are almost the playmaker, goalkeepers are much more important than you think,\u201d he stressed<\/p>\n
Courtois added: \u201cWithout a good goalkeeper, you will not win any title<\/p>\n
He again hinted at the Ballon d\u2019Or: \u201cAt the football awards, sometimes they forget about us. People vote faster for a striker who scores goals than for a goalkeeper. This is so bad. But we will continue to show that goalkeepers have the most important role on the field<\/p>\n
Courtois, who is in his fifth season at the Santiago Bernabeu, also complained to L\u2019Equipe of his lack of patience\u201d with his players in his position. The goalkeeper argued: \u201cOnce the goalkeeper makes a little mistake, they attack him and say the match was lost because of him. Sometimes we forget that the striker may have missed five or six easy chances to score before<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
