Courtois Among Top 5 In The World!

Chelsea entertain high flying Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge this weekend looking to maintain their unbeaten start to their league campaign. Ahead of the encounter, Villa keeper Brad Guzan believes Courtois is one of the best in the world in the goalkeeping department.

The Belgian has impressed on loan at Atletico Madrid for the past three seasons and has shown precisely why he displaced Petr Cech as Chelsea’s number one ‘keeper with some impressive displays.

According to the Daily Mail, Guzan said, “He’s someone who I believe is one of the top five goalkeepers in the world. Thibaut’s resume is outstanding. His accolades for the past few seasons at Atletico speak for itself, with Belgium too. He’s only 22 so these things are unbelievable. He’s a top, top keeper and someone Chelsea sees their future with.”

He added, “There’s nothing better that having the confidence of the manager and coaching staff. You want to be dependable and the guy the lads look to if an opposition player gets through the defence. You want them thinking that you’re going to come up with the goods and make a save at the vital time. You want that responsibility. You relish that opportunity to be number one – be the guy that’s going to hopefully help the team. That’s what it’s all about.”
