00:00 "The second question, Thibaut Courtois, he was honest, he was clear, he was really early
00:07 in the way he communicated.
00:09 So of course he knows his body the best and it's something different to play every three
00:14 games, every four games during a tournament.
00:16 So this is the last information that we take in consideration that he's not ready for the
00:21 Euro and of course then we plan with the players that are able to play."
00:25 "Would you have taken a fourth goalkeeper or was that never in your mind?"
00:30 "We also thought about this, spoke with Max, with our goalkeeper coach.
00:35 Of course you have some advantages if you have four, especially for the training sessions.
00:40 But as we don't want big, big, big squad and we try to avoid, we decided to go with three."
