Courtois, in negative

Thibaut Courtois is in negative, a situation that does not only obey the state of form, even the goals received, but a sum of intangibles, such as bad feelings and the worst atmosphere, that make up the goalkeeper's scaffold. In the place that you can least doubt, the Madrid goalkeeper has, today, all possible doubts. In the Bernabéu, it is worse than it is, and little or nothing helps the Russian roulette to which the equipment has been delivered.

The situation resembles that of David De Gea in the selection, a red flan. Stomach problems and dizziness for which, officially, he retired at rest before the Bruges are some of the symptoms that can accompany anxiety crises, although this does not mean that Courtois suffered. It could be the pasta of the food.

The Bernabéu has shown hypersensitivity to the Belgian, object of the easy whistle. The situation demands a personal challenge from the goalkeeper himself, as Keylor Navas did when Madrid negotiated the signing of De Gea or whenever the echoes of the Bernabéu noble plant placed him outside the team. From every little crisis, a better Keylor emerged. This requires a great mental strength or the way of interpreting the faith of the Costa Rican. It is not a matter of hanging a rosary from the crossbar.

The Courtois that triumphed in Atlético lived in a tribe-minded, self-protective team. Madrid is like a metropolis, in which you can be surrounded by many people, but feel very alone. The team's situation is not going to cover him as was the case with the roijiblanco team, where he was protected in the area by an iron belt.

The defense of Madrid made water against Bruges after an excellent concentration exercise against Sevilla and Atlético. The question is whether in a template satiated with victories it is possible to maintain the intensity level throughout the season. Neither Madrid nor Barca seem to be in a position to do so. You run because of hunger or fear, and the current players of the two greats do not have either. Courtois, on the other hand, may have both. It is clear which one you should try first.
