Barcelona –
Goalkeeper Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois, provide an assessment of the situation in Barcelona ahead of the El Clasico match. What did the Belgian goalkeeper say?
Barcelona had experienced major problems after completing the 2019/2020 season. Coach Quique Setien had to be thrown out and replaced by Ronald Koeman.
Another problem then arose with Messi’s desire to leave Barcelona and Luis Suarez, who was said to have not been part of Koeman’s plan. In the end, Messi remained and Suarez left for Atletico Madrid.
Slow but sure. Conditions at Barcelona improved and started quite well in LaLiga, despite losing to Getafe last weekend.
However, the pace in LaLiga this season still has an unpleasant smell from the club. Several players were not united in relation to the salary cuts proposed by Barcelona.
This condition could affect Barcelona’s preparation for the El Clasico match against Real Madrid. However, Courtois believes the Blaugrana will be compact when they start the match at Camp Nou, Saturday (24/10/2020).
“Barcelona will always be good. I think the noise around them comes from outside and I think the team is united from the inside. We have seen that they started the season well, won games. It will be a good game and a difficult one at the same time,” Courtois said. quoted from Marca.
“They have a new coach and it will be different, but Barcelona also maintains a certain style. We have to play well tactically and we have to face the game with a good mentality. I hope we can win it,” he continued.
The Madrid goalkeeper who was redeemed from Chelsea also emphasized that El Clasico will always be special. Courtois even said that he almost always looks forward to this match even though he hasn’t worn a Los Blancos shirt.
“This is a game that I have almost always looked forward to since childhood and even during my time at Chelsea. You will watch it on TV if you have time. This is a special match that you dream to play,” he said.
