Addressing the situation, Courtois emphasized Rodrygo’s importance to the team, saying: “Journalists may focus on Jude, Vini, or Mbappé, but in the dressing room, we know Rodrygo’s value and quality.”
Courtois added humorously: “I don’t think Rodrygo needs to be upset, but if it makes him play better, then sure, be upset (laughs).”
