Courtois trolls Chelsea again
They may be riding high in the Premier League with four wins from their first four matches but Chelsea have been brought down to earth by another stinging attack from former goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
As The Sun reports, the former Blue has taken “another dig at Chelsea” by comparing them unfavourably with his new club Real Madrid.

The Sun points out it might be to the Belgian’s advantage if he focused more on his goal keeping than on winding up Chelsea.
In his Real league debut last Saturday, against Leganes, Courtois conceded a goal from the first shot he faced, when he beaten from the penalty spot.
Belgian whine
The Blues aren’t the first side to fall foul of the bleating Belgian. After he and his teammates had been beaten by France in the semi-final of the World Cup in July, Courtois whined about what he saw as France’s negative tactics.
“France heads a corner and does nothing more than defend,” complained Courtois. “I would have preferred to have lost in the quarter-finals to Brazil, at least that was a team that wanted to play football. [France] are just an anti-football team.”
