“I’m just doing my job”: Thibaut Courtois modest after another convincing performance

«J“I’m just doing my job,” Courtois said politely, in response to his recent performance. “I’m here to stop the balloons. When an attacker comes at me, I try to take as much space as possible. It’s a technique I’ve mastered, and it works very well,” he said.

The match against Dortmund represents a new chance for Courtois to shine. The Madrilenians are still reeling from a shock defeat against Lille in the Champions League, which puts them under pressure ahead of this crucial game. The Belgian has made no secret that his team is going through a period of change. “We still need to find specific automations. This is normal, especially without important players like Carvajal and Alaba. But I’m sure everything will return to normal. The situation is not as critical as it seems,” he reassured.

Finally, Courtois returned to his relationship with a new goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, who started for much of last season due to the injury of the Belgian. “The competition with Lunin pushes me to be better. He is a top goalkeeper, and I know he will still be useful to us,” he said.

The match against Dortmund promises to be intense, with the revenge of the Champions League final as a backdrop. Courtois, quiet as usual, will once again be a key element in keeping Real’s hopes alive.
