Follow usReal Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois shared his thoughts on the situation in the team before the start of the La Liga season. He thinks Karim Benzema’s departure can be covered by the current forwards that Los Blancos have in their disposal.
“We have Vinny (Vinicius Junior), Rodrygo and Joselu, who is a very good striker for us, he is the profile of a player we didn’t have. I think the whole team needs to fill the void left by Benzema and maybe other players will need to step up like Valverde did last year. Last season he scored 12, 13 or 14 goals and now maybe he needs to score 20. Maybe Vinicius and Rodrigo need to score more goals too, although not every game needs to be won 3-0 or 4-0 “, the goalkeeper said to TLN TV.
“We want to build on a little bit from last year. I don’t think we had a bad year, as soon as we started we won the European Super Cup and we started well in the league, but after the World Cup we fell short. We managed to keep our level. We lost the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona and not in the best way, then we lost a lot of games in the league.”
