‘He’s not that tall but he’s got really strong legs. He’s a bit like Eden when I met him at Chelsea, he had really strong legs too. You could kick him and he’d still be standing up and he’s got a lot of power in his shots. In training I saw him take really big shots. ‘
‘Above all, I think he needs to calm down a bit. I don’t know if he’s nervous, but he’s getting better,’ Courtois said.
Asked about the recent performance in the 2-1 defeat to Barcelona, Courtois said: ‘In pre-season we played interesting games for the fans and the public who came to the stadium. In the end, the stadium was full when Real Madrid played. It’s clear that we didn’t want to lose to Barcelona, even in pre-season, but you don’t want to lose. ‘
‘But at the end of the day, when it matters is the season and, as Carvajal said last season. When it matters, we’ll see. It’s a mix of young players and experienced players in the first team, us and them. It’s just that.’
