The new Belgian number one, Kaestsels, attended a press conference and inevitably faced questions about Courtois.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois was unable to make the Euros squad for various reasons, paving the way for Kaestsels to take his place. In response, he said, “I’m not intimidated by being compared to Courtois. He’s him, I’m me. I won’t try to be different; I’ll just focus on giving my all for the team.”
Perhaps sensing that the topic could create unrest within the squad, the Belgian team’s spokesperson then intervened, stating that discussions about Courtois should conclude but that other questions were welcome.
