The Belgian goalkeeper of Real Madrid Thibaut Courtois declared Wednesday that he is one hundred percent convinced that his compatriot and teammate Eden Hazard “Hazard will explode in no time.”

«I’m 100% sure we’re going to see the best Hazard. He is the first who wants to show it. I see him very well and I hope I can show it soon. Before his injury he was very well. I’m sure that in no time Hazard is going to explode, “Courtois said in the program ‘The spar‘ from Ser string.

Regarding the apparent lack of a goal from his team, Courtois said: «I think we are not missing a goal. Benzema scores goals very easily, Asensio, Vinicius … I’m sure that comes out on its own. What I would worry about is if we didn’t create those occasions».

He also referred to his recent injury: “I’m fine. After the game against Levante I felt something in the psoas, something small. If he had an important game with the national team, he could have played. But it was better to rest. A very long season is coming. Sometimes you have to think about the body, be well and today I went back to training with the team, “he said.

He also commented that he wants to retire at Real Madrid. «It would be nice to be able to play here the rest of my career. I would like to stay here many more years“, He said.

On the Real Madrid coach, Zinedine Zidane, he said: «He has given me a lot of confidence. I have always felt that he has counted on me and that is important.

Courtois revealed that he has a personal chef: «Sometimes, in addition to training with Madrid, in the afternoon I sometimes train with a personal trainer. I have a chef (Asier) for a year to optimize food more, have more energy. They are details that when you are 20 or 21 years old you do not think about it. But when you grow up and mature you value the important details, if you want to have a long career you have to take care of yourself ».

He also referred to the rivalry between Real Madrid and his old team, Atlético de Madrid: «It doesn’t hurt to have my badge trampled on. That’s the rivalry between the teams. I know the rivalry between Madrid and Atlético. There’s no problem, that’s how derbies are. “

Defense to David de Gea

He gave his opinion on the Spanish international goalkeeper David de Gea: «Goalkeeper is not an easy position. If tomorrow I miss a pass because we play from behind, there is a better chance that it will end in a goal. In yesterday’s goal for David they want you to go and cut the ball out of the area, the ball was going very strong and I suppose he was just anticipating that and they caught him a little out of place.

«For me that is not a big mistake because if the ball passed and cut the ball, I would have done very well. There is the goalkeeper’s limit, They are decisions in half a second and many times they turn out well and sometimes they don’t. David cut a lot of balls like that in the first half and against Switzerland he made a very good save with zero to zero. Spain yesterday could have won 1-4, for example, “he commented.
