Thibaut Courtoiswho launched an appeal to supporters a few days before receiving the Bayern Munich in the semi-final return of the Champions Leaguewas very happy this Saturday.
“It’s a very good day back and a great victory which perhaps starts with this save at 0-0. I go get the ball, we play, and from there it’s 1-0. I dreamed of being able to come home, for my children and my family”he explained.
The guardian of real Madrid East “happy” to have been able to feel like a new guardian “after such a long time”. In addition, it was decisive thanks to a great intervention, against Chris Ramosto which he himself referred.
“Ultimately you have to get used to it. The plan was to play a friendly in March, but unfortunately I tore my meniscus and had only trained with the team, always on short periods. It had been nine months since I had played an 11 against 11 match. But I felt good, I read space well. I didn’t forget it. You have to get used to it a little.”he added.
“I had imagined this day several times. At first I thought the season was lost. Then I put Cádiz as a possible return date, even though I felt very good before and it could have been brought forward “With the misfortune, I didn’t know if I could play this season, but I’m here to help the team if they need me.”said Courteouswho fell out of favor in August.
“We are a group of friends. A hug or a word is always very helpful, because we often train alone. Militão and I have spent many days alone. Even if you are in the same gym, you each fight on your side, which is different. Seeing him on the pitch and playing with him also means a lot to me. I want to thank Davide, my physio, and Giuseppe, who did a great job for me to be here today. , perhaps better than ever”he concluded.
