There is trouble and the fat in the choice of Belgium after one of its great stars, the madridista Thibaut Courtois, will leave the concentration of the Belgian team by his own decision. The goalkeeper was not part of the expedition that traveled to Estonia for tomorrow’s Eurocup qualifying match, as confirmed by coach Domenico Tedesco.
The reason for the sit-in was in the previous match against Austria was chosen to wear the captain’s armband in the absence of Kevin de Bruyne (the first captain after Hazard’s farewell) is Romelu Lukaku. Both the striker and goalkeeper have 100 caps. “After the Austria game, Courtoi suddenly wanted to talk to me and said he was going home because he was disappointed and hurt,” the coach said.
Tedesco has confirmed the release of Courtois in his appearance before the match against Estonia. “All of us decided that stupid will be captain against Austria and Courtois tomorrow I was surprised and shocked, we never expected something like this to happen. In March we decided that De Bruyne would be the first captain and that stupid and Courtois they are on equal terms as second captain”, continued the Italian-German coach.
In some media there was speculation that the reason for the Madrid goalkeeper’s departure was a nuisance but the coach categorically denied this. “I wish I could say it’s an injury, but I can’t lie. I always try to protect the players but in this situation it’s impossible,” he added. Tedesco.
Now a new and uncertain scenario is unfolding regarding the future of Courtois in the Belgian team. The Federation can take action in the matter and punish him with a fine or the goalkeeper himself can decide whether or not to continue attending his team’s calls.
