Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois commented on the upcoming UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanti, as well as spoke about the injury experience and work with Carlo Ancelotti.

" The last month of the last season was less fantastic than the Champions League final. I am happy that I finished the season after a difficult start. For the first season I'm off to a good start with the pre-season. I hope everything will continue just like that.

I am a great patient. I will always work on this so that I can turn stronger. If you want to recover from an injury, the main thing you need to develop is a positive attitude. You cannot turn back at the hour and think: “I am guilty of earning this, I am guilty of earning this.”. If you are injured, it is your responsibility to focus on getting in shape.

I always want to turn out as strong as possible. I remember what I said to others when I returned home after an injury: “I will return immediately to play in the Champions League final.”. He said: “You’re out of your mind”. As long as it’s good enough to reach the point where you can go.

Everyone on the team has completed the remaining stages of their tournaments - Euro 2024 and the America's Cup, but the boys know how everything is controlled here - we work hard. Namagatimemosya buti prepare for Atalanti. We are already going through tactical sessions, although not everything is here yet. Ale mi let's be ready.

Atalanta is a great team. The stinks were present throughout the entire field, and a number of fatalities played against them, as Liza had champions, and this was an important game. So we know that it will be important to play, but we can effectively win it. These are the ones who are trying to frighten us with us. Of course,? we want to win.

We don’t need too much respect for records. Of course,? with our team, before many young people enter, so that we can win new trophies, I sing that we will collect everything we can to overcome. If this means breaking another record, then this is an acceptance bonus, but not the least. The most important thing is to try to win this trophy. We know that the game is watching out for us, and that we need to be prepared.

Carlo Ancelotti? In front of us, he is a wonderful person, he has a wonderful character and he is a wonderful trainer.. We must find the right balance between giving us freedom and the tactics we want. It’s not just about talking about tactics, but it gives our Gravians, such as Vinicius, Rodrigo and Modric, a lot of freedom. You need your natural genius. You can't drive them to the limits of a great number of tactics.

We need this genius to manifest itself.

He is very good at exercising and exercising. We work very hard, but we still laugh. We have a wonderful time. We work diligently, but we take it for granted, and less than it should be, so I respect him as one of the greatest coaches of all times,” the UEFA press service quotes Courtois as saying..

Guess what, the match between Real Madrid and Atalanta will take place on Wednesday, September 14, at 22:00 outside Kiev.
