‘I respect his opinion but I don’t agree with him. We have other ideas about what provocation is. I don’t want to comment further on that.’ Courtois said.
Asked if the Ultras should be banned from football matches. Courtois said:
‘The important thing is that there is no violence. In Belgium, we have had situations like this many times. I have no problem with people supporting their team and causing a little conflict. And I think that’s what derbies and intense games are like when we play away. ‘
‘I like that atmosphere, it gives me more excitement and desire. But all this has to be done with respect for the people playing and there can be no violence. Sometimes players and fans react a little bit. That’s normal. I have no problem with singing. But I think after a goal you can react a little bit without doing anything more. Violence is not necessary. If there is no violence, I don’t have a problem. We have to eliminate those who want to hurt others. ‘
Courtois also spoke about his own form, particularly in one-on-one situations: ‘I don’t want to give away any of my secrets either. It’s a technique I try to do, to make myself as big as I can to play with the rhythm, And to try and guess what the strikers are thinking. I’m 2m tall, if I move out with my arms and legs spread. There’s hardly any space left. ‘
