He points to certain attitudes
Beyond the simple tactical aspect, it is also the attitudes of certain players who have annoyed Thibaut Courtois. After maintaining his team alive on the Saka penalty in the first period, the Belgian saw the goal refuse to his teammates, sometimes too tempted by the idea of making the difference alone. “We cannot always expect the four attackers to dribble three players and score a magnificent goal.
