🔥 Courtois slams LaLiga, says other things need to change | OneFootball

The goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois, has taken advantage of the cancellation of the LaLiga match in Miami to launch a comprehensive critique on the structural problems of Spanish football. The Belgian not only celebrated the cancellation of the match but also focused his speech on one of the major tensions of the competition: the difficulties clubs face in registering players.

The goalkeeper was blunt in pointing out a situation he considers "abnormal": "It is not normal that on August 30, ten teams are performing miracles to register players," Courtois stated. For the player, although financial fair play is a positive tool, its current application forces many teams to part with their best assets. This imbalance, he argues, "is what needs to be changed first."

This claim arises in the context of the decision not to take the match to the United States, news that Courtois welcomed with satisfaction. For him, the proposal made no sense, especially due to the lack of transparency, and the cancellation has prevailed due to "common sense."

The Belgian insisted on the traditional philosophy of football: matches "must be played both at home and away." In fact, if LaLiga is promoted as the best in the world, "you don't need to go elsewhere," the footballer challenged, urging the organization to look inward.

Courtois urged LaLiga to rethink its priorities. Before seeking to expand the brand in international markets, the competition must focus on fundamental objectives, such as ensuring that stadiums in Spain are full and, above all, correcting the problems arising from financial fair play that make it difficult to register players.
