Thibaut Courtois

[Atholy 1,293]

Here's a video I wanted to share with the chelsea fans.

Those are the last 15 minutes of the ultimate game for the belgian championship last year: RC Genk vs. Standard de Liege.

Standard needed a win to be champions, for Genk a tie would be enough. Take the time to get into this atmosphere of the game.

You will see that an 18 year old goalkeeper kept his composure and with 3 ultimate saves in the last minutes decided the championship in Genks favor (starting at 8:40 mins)!

Oh wait, that's right... this kid is a blue now :blue scalf:

In an article this weekend Courtois stated that the Chelsea staff was more than impressed with his results from the 'stress test'. And that he was amongst the very best of over 200 players that have been tested the last years. I think this video is a good example of that!

Great article!

I read some articles that Cfc decided he can stay for another year at Athletico..

We should tell to Atletico that if they want him next year, they have to take back their Nino.

Another article, couple days later, stated that it's no sure yet. Courtois wants to stay only if Atletico reaches European football..

la liga and the poor defending of Atletico are good for him to growth

Another clean sheet for Courtois, drawing 0-0 at Malaga.

Atletico were indebted to goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois for keeping his side on level terms.

The Belgian teenager, who is on loan from Chelsea, did well to deny Diego Buonanotte at his near post after the Malaga man had latched onto a diagonal ball over the full-back.

Courtois then produced an even better stop in the 18th minute to tip over Jose Rondon's powerful header.

He played very well indeed - couple of top class saves from the young man as well (no Wilkins).

Vocal, confident, imposing. Said it before, but so impressive for a 19-year-old.

Sounds like he had a very good game.

Watched the game yesterday, he looks brilliant, Petr Cech really better watch out because this Belgian guy is very, very good. Love the way he flies across his goal. He's very tall too, great attributes for a GK

Played very well for Athletico Madrid last night, got off the exactly the start he would have wanted to under new manager Diego Simeone. Two wonderful saves, the second in particular was stunning by any standard.
