In the minds of Domenico Tedesco and Thibaut Courtois: European Championship or not? This is how the cards are on the table today – Football News

It must be said: Thibaut Courtois is ready to play a lot sooner than expected. And it also immediately ensures that the whole fuss surrounding the European Championship selection can be restarted. The goalkeeper can be completely fit at the start of the European Championship.

Without the argument with Domenico Tedesco, Belgium would be on the benches. There would have been no doubt whatsoever: in such a case, a fit Courtois would always have traveled to Germany as number one of the Red Devils. Only problem: there is a feud between – sorry to put it that way – two stubborn people.

Tedesco is adamant that he does not need Courtois to achieve success at this summer’s European Championship. Koen Casteels replaced the Real Madrid goalkeeper excellently and during the last international match, Matz Sels also showed that he is ready to be the titular player in Germany.

In other words: Tedesco will not call on Courtois himself. The Belgian national coach does not even plan to give him a call. He also feels supported by the Belgian Football Association. Could there be a contract extension? (until mid-2026, ed.) would have come if the KBVB did not agree with the yellow event?

Does Thibaut Courtois still want to go to the European Championship with the Red Devils?

Moreover, the question also remains whether Courtois himself is looking forward to the European Championship. The goalkeeper would be constantly under a magnifying glass. On the other hand, the youth product of KRC Genk is very ambitious. Just imagine that the Red Devils win the European title without him in goal. We don’t think he would sleep because of it…
