Nor are the twelve tasks of Hrcules, but for Thibaut Courteous The final stretch of LaLiga hides seven pending works in the fight for a trophy to which the Belgian has special affection. The Madrid goalkeeper has been since last Wednesday, after leaving his door to zero before the Mallorca (another great stop with 0-0 to keep his team in the game) the leader of the Trophy Zamora which grants BRAND to the best goalkeeper of the Championship. His goal-per-match ratio was the best for several days, but he still had to meet one of the basic requirements of the award: play at least 28 games. Courtois caught them against Mallorca and displaced Jan cloud (Atlético de Madrid) to the second position, with Unai Simn (Athletic) third.
The differences between the coefficients of the first three classified are minimal. The Madrid goalkeeper presents a coefficient of 0,64 goals per game, for the 0,71 Slovenian. The Basque credits 0,86. Something further are David Soria (Getafe), with 0.94, and Ter Stegen (Barcelona), 0,97.
So, in the seven finals that, at a collective level, Madrid must overcome to claim the title, seven challenges to overcome to conquer what will be the third Zamora of his personal palmares join, individually for Courtois. Tibu won it twice during his assignment in the Atlantic: season. 12-13 (0.78) and 13-14 (0.65). At this point in Surso 19-20, he exceeds even those records, but he must confirm it in the seven duels that still remain for the whites, starting with tonight’s against the Spanish at the RCDE Stadium.
The great threat to Courtois is, of course, Jan cloud, the great dominator of the trophy since 2016, when he scored an incredible record of 0.47 goals per game. The Slovenian has been confirmed at Atleti as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and his four consecutive Zamoras ratify that condition. Of the rest of the Top-5, none knows what it is to win the award for the best goalkeeper in LaLiga, and it does not seem that this season they can interfere in the particular derby madrileo under sticks between the goals of Madrid and Atleti.
For Courtois, Zamora will be the icing on the cake to a great second season in Madrid, after the turbulence from the first. Despite this, the Belgian always puts the interests of the team first, whose aspirations go through the collective prize of a League that the Whites play again today in Barcelona.
