In the just-concluded Club World Cup 1/8 final, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 with Gonzalo Garcia's winning goal and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. After the game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois accepted an official interview with FIFA and commented on the team's performance and prospects for winning the championship.
Mbappe's return strengthens the strength of the forward line
Belgian national goalkeeper specifically mentioned the importance of Mbappe's return to the team: "Mbappe's return is of great significance. Any team needs as many excellent players as possible, especially world-class attackers like him. " Courtois's statement confirms the core position of French stars in the team. Although Mbappe failed to score in this game, his restraint in the frontcourt created more offensive space for his teammates.
Rookie Gonzalo was praised by goalkeeper
Courtova highly praised the young forward Gonzalo Garcia, who scored the only goal in the game: "Gonzalo trained with us for many years, and I have witnessed his growth. He has an excellent sense of smell and heading ability in the penalty area, and is a highly productive shooter. "The 21-year-old has scored 7 goals for Real Madrid this season, gradually gaining a place in the front line competition.
Looking forward to the prospect of winning the championship, remains cautious
Despite the successful advancement, Courtois remains clear about the prospect of winning the championship: "Winning the first Club World Cup after the restructuring is special, but the journey has just begun, and there are many strong enemies behind it. " Real Madrid will face the winner between Manchester City and Flamenco in the next round. The Belgian stressed that the whole team needs to remain focused and move forward step by step.
The victory not only continued Real Madrid's strong performance in the Club World Cup, but also showed the depth of the team's lineup that combines new and old. As main players such as Mbappe gradually recover their form and the rise of new stars such as Gonzalo, Ancelotti's team is moving steadily towards the fifth Club World Cup championship in the club's history.
