Thibaut Courtois is a happy goalkeeper. The Red Devil is the indisputable holder of Real Madrid and seems to have regained his best level. All, in part, thanks to Zinedine Zidane.
When Zinedine Zidane discovered Thibaut Courtois at Real Madrid, not everything went perfectly. Firstly because, at first, the French preferred Keylor Navas. But not only.
By Courtois’ own admission, the relationship between the two men was not optimal at this time. “Our relationship was maybe a bit distant at first. Probably also because I didn’t have a particular connection with him, unlike other players.”, he explained in an interview with Sporza.
But he will not forget what the French did, in the summer of 2019, to make everything better. “He saw it for himself and we had a good conversation”, tells the Red Devil. “Since then, our relationship has evolved and it’s very good now. He’s a very calm person, very motivating, but also very direct. He says things and likes being as close as possible to people. Sometimes he takes you down. leaves after training to ask how you are doing. I haven’t seen this with any other trainer. “, says the porter.
Thibaut Courtois has since offered him performances worthy of his status and allows Real Madrid to continue to fight for the title in La Liga.
