Real Madrid may have won on Saturday in Villarreal, but there has been a lot of anger within the club after a procedure in La Ceramica. This is with regard to the observed lack of a sufficient gap between the game and their earlier match against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Carlo Ancelotti rumbled in the decision of La Liga during his press conference after the game, and now Real Madrid goalkeeper has his say, according to Diario ALS.
“In the end we play when we have to play. We don't want any apologies, I am glad I can speak and say that we have not lost despite the lack of rest. It is not normal to play 120 minutes on Wednesday, punishes, with all that wear, and today to play at 6:30 PM. I understand that La Liga does not like to place the big three on the same day. But sometimes it is what is needed, the Premier League often does it.
“I think it was a lack of respect for our team. We may leave with an injured player because of the lack of rest. You could play on Sunday, a super Sunday, such as in England. That Real Madrid plays for and then Athleti and Barcelona. Because TV is also good, but other interests sometimes play. “
Courtois also gave his opinion about the competition itself.
“It was very good. I think the start was not the best, but it is normal with the small rest we have, it was a bit difficult in the legs. We responded well, we were made right and then we quickly came back and we defended well. It has been a lot of work, people were very tired and the work and the dedication of the team were seen. Villareal is fifth, they play well, this ground is always difficult. They are three very important points. “
