Chelsea goal keeper Thibaut Courtois, has picked out the team back four who are suppose to defend the squad as the cause for the blues failure this season and also blame the short pre-season they had.
The Belgium international explained his preference of his national team defence, which has the likes of Vincent Kompany and Toby Alderweireld at the heart of defence.“I think our pre-season was too short. Physically, we weren’t ready,”he said.
“We lost our first game in the Community Shield, then we needed a change, and Guus Hiddink’s arrival did us some good.
“We’re still conceding too many goals, and that’s not entirely the defence’s fault, even though I prefer playing with Belgium’s back four in Europe. It’ll be hard, but we’re going to try and finish the season strongly.”
Belgium was hit earlier on this week by terrorist attack, which has put the game against Portugal in Brussels on Friday in doubt.
