DBasia.news – Recently, Diego Simeone makes Real Madrid upset with his harsh comments. Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois said Simeone has a particular agenda doing that, to gain the popularity.
Diego Simeone told a controversial statement regarding the 2018 Ballon d’Or. The Argentinian coach assumed Luka Modric undeserved the victory. Simeone thinks Antoine Griezmann and Raphael Varane deserved the victory instead of Modric.
Simeone said Griezmann and Varane scored the achievement not only in the club level. But, both players also brought the France national team winning the 2018 World Cup.
Simeone once again triggered the conflict with Madrid players. This time, Courtois is the target. According to the former Inter Milan player, Courtois undeserved the Best FIFA Goalkeeper this year.
“Simeone criticizes Madrid so as to be popular with his fans. He always does it, attacks Madrid for being the best in the world,” Courtois reviewed as cited by FourFourTwo.
However, Courtois realized everyone has the right to express their opinion. “Everyone’s opinions have to be respected, everyone can say their personal opinion,” the goalkeeper explained.
“In my case, he said I had won that trophy (Best FIFA Goalkeeper) because I played for Real Madrid, but in the World Cup I was Chelsea, and in the Best award, the votes were closed in July,” Courtois continued.
Courtois also talks about Atletico Madrid goalkeeper, Jan Oblak. “(Atletico goalkeeper Jan) Oblak is also a great goalkeeper and could have had more points, but there are a lot of people who vote,” Courtois emphasized.
Real Madrid are haunting Atletico Madrid in LaLiga temporary table. Both clubs are just three points away.
