Thibaut Courtois, Belgian custody of the Real Madrid, Has criticized this Saturday a LaLiga to force them to travel to Pamplona in the middle of the storm and having to play the match against Health and recalled that they are not “puppets that should always play” and that, first of all, they should think about the safety of everyone involved.
“We were able to play, but since Laliga it’s a bit unfortunate what they have done to us, (also) to Rayo Vallecano and other teams, I think the storm was known a long time ago that was going to happen. Not only because we can play, but also because yesterday we took off with the half-frozen court, today we can’t go back, we still have to go directly to Malaga and Laliga has to think that we are human and that we are not a show that always has to play, “he told Movistar TV.
And is that in the hours before the meeting, the white box he was trapped in the snow. First on a plane and then without being able to move from the airport Pamplona, Waiting for the cancellation of the match, the same as never before and which did not allow them to rest properly.
“We do what they ask us, if they tell us that if you don’t come you lose all three points, if you see how Madrid is, how the situation is, we came to the countryside with the road full of snow, I don’t think it’s that safe either and first of all we have to think about people’s safety, we have family and we are not puppets that we must always play “.
the international belga he considered that today they made the effort and were focused on playing the match “but you also have to think about the trips, all the logistics, also for you and the people who are in the field and then have to go home” , added Courteous, Who thanked Osasuna for the work done to make the field in acceptable condition despite the snowfall.
“Obviously we wanted to win, because after the trip you want to have those three points, but well it wasn’t easy today, here it’s always hard to play, obviously in the icy parts of the field it wasn’t easy to put the ball in circulation, we tried but they defended well and we didn’t have that clarity to create great chances “, Summed up the archer.
