Courtois: “We want to win and the way to do that is to stay together"
"It's a shame we didn't keep a clean sheet, but it was a great game from everyone," added the goalkeeper.
Courtois spoke to the media after Real Madrid's win over Monaco. The goalkeeper analysed the game: "It was a good game from the start, we looked for what we wanted, with intensity, creating chances and plenty of movement. When you score the first goal early, the second comes quickly. In the second half, the idea was to continue with that plan and we scored two goals in ten minutes. We controlled the game quite well.”
Defensive performance
"They had their chances and we defended well. It's a shame we didn't keep a clean sheet, but it was a great game from everyone. The Bernabéu enjoyed it too, that's the way forward."
Recoveries
"It's something we're looking for, the pressure after a loss. The coach wants the centre-backs and everyone else to go to the other area. We have to stay with their first striker, close to them so that they can't run."
Bernabéu
"The other day's criticism is normal, you can respect it. As a team, we know we failed last week. We want to win and the way to do that is to be all together. If we have the fans with us, everything works out well in the end. On Saturday, we have a difficult game in Villarreal. We have to give the same image and win."
