Real Madrid Star Issues Shock Statement
A Real Madrid star has announced he will no longer play international football as long as his nation's current head coach is in charge.Los Blancos' No. 1 Thibaut Courtois has released a statement in which he says he will not represent Belgium under Domenico Tedesco , who was appointed in February last year.
The experienced shot-stopper, capped on 102 occasions for his country to date, was not picked for Belgium's 2024 UEFA European Championship squad despite returning to action before the tournament. "I feel immense love and pride in representing my country on the pitch, as well as every one of you who supports the Red Devils. I feel privileged to have had the honour of wearing the national jersey. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined being able to do so more than 100 times.
Stand a chance to win Mamelodi Sundowns Home and Away Replica shirts for the 2024/25 season; valued at R1199 per shirt. "Unfortunately, following the events with the coach and after much reflection, I have decided not to return to the Belgian national team under his management. In this matter, I accept my share of responsibility. However, looking forward, my lack of confidence in him would not contribute to maintaining the necessary atmosphere of cordiality.
"The Federation, with whom I have had several discussions, accepts my position and the reasons that led me to this painful but coherent decision. I regret possibly disappointing some fans, but I am convinced that this is the best course of action for Belgium, as it closes a debate and allows the team to focus on pursuing its goals.
