However, it seems that no all are in the same tuning.

In this sense, the name of Thibaut Courtois has gone back to be in the centre of the controversy. In this occasion, one of his mates, Timothy Castagne, defender of the Fulham and with the one who has coincided in announcements of the 'Network Devils' from 2018, took advantage of an interview with the Belgian newspaper 'Him Soir' to express his dissatisfaction with the goalkeeper of the Real Madrid.

Of where it arose the controversy with Courtois in Belgium?

The root of this unrest traces back to the month of June of this year, when the exportero of Chelsea abandoned the concentration of the 'Red Devils'. Purportedly, it left offended by have not been chosen like captain of Belgium in absence of Kevin of Bruyne, the usual captain. The bracelet was awarded to Romelu Lukaku and this was not very received by the guardameta.

The version of the player merengue on this incident is that it left before the party against Austria with the approval so much of the doctors of Belgium as of the Real Madrid, because of physical problems. In front of this, Castagne has launched his first criticism when affirming: "Or it is a real injury, is grave and your club forces you to go back. Or you are able to play. From my point of view, if Thibaut had wanted, could remain, but is his election".

In the Belgian selection there is unrest with the attitude of Courtois

Besides, the defender has mentioned the unrest that generated in the group because of all the controversy around the exguardameta of the Athletic of Madrid and how all seemed to indicate that his absence was related with the subject of the captaincy: "I Have spoken of this with some and they also see it like this, but can not speak by all the group. It was the history of the bracelet of captain, afterwards the photo of his knee in the aeroplane and the history of the bracelet in his wedding (a photo of his sister with the bracelet of captain)", sustained Castagne.

The defender neither has doubted in recognising the level of Courtois, but has posed if his presence contributes more than what subtracts, signalling: "it Is true that Thibaut is the best Belgian goalkeeper and of the world. Afterwards we have to do us the question: we want to sacrifice the group of the 'Network Devils' by a player?"

Finally, in addition to urging to the guardameta to excuse with the selection, Castagne has mentioned that, once that it recover of his injury, there will be subjects that resolve between Courtois and the trainer. "The most important is that it recover of his injury. Afterwards it will be a problem to resolve between Thibaut and the technician. And if arrived this moment Thibaut no longer wants to come, will be his election. Will have to Koen Casteels that it is very good and even other goalkeepers behind", concluded.
