Courtois: Real Madrid did not have to commit some fouls, but Hrafenberch’s fall to the ground was suspected of exaggeration

Hupu News November 05: In this round of the Champions League, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home. After the game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois, who performed well in this game, accepted an interview with the media and talked about his feelings and opinions.

Courtois said frankly in an interview with Movistar TV: "The result is regrettable. I tried my best to protect the team, but in the second half we committed too many fouls near the penalty area, and our opponents were good at taking advantage of this and scored goals. Our defense was good overall, but we lacked threats in the offensive third zone and frequently lost the ball, which made the game difficult."

"In this extremely challenging stadium, defeat is possible, although it is possible. It happened not what we wanted. We have two key Champions League games left before Christmas: we must win the away game against Olympiakos and prepare for the home game against Manchester City. "

Regarding this problem, he analyzed: "We continued to send unnecessary fouls. The foul before conceding the goal could have been avoided - I don't even think it constituted a foul. The opponent was suspected of exaggerating the fall (Idon 'tthinkitisaf). ouleither,itisthrown.). But we have to admit that our passing connection is not smooth enough, which is something that must be improved when playing against strong teams. "

Talking about how to face the defeat, Courtois said: "This level of competition is often determined by details. Now we need to stay calm, and the team's foundation will still be strong. If we can win, we will be in a good position to compete for the top eight. "

Regarding his foot save in the first half, Courtois said: "I had to block the space! At that time, Wirtz was in a two-on-one situation. If I stayed on the goal line, it would be like sitting on the penalty kick. I wanted to block the near corner but did not dare to let Wirtz kick. In the end, I chose to fully expand the defensive area. "
