Otkako je Domenico Tedesco preuzeo klupu belgijske reprezentacije, Thibaut Courtois odlučio je napustiti nacionalnu vrstu, što je izazvalo lavinu reakcija među belgijskim navijačima. Mnogi su smatrali da ih je 32-godišnji vratar izdao i da je njegov potez nedopustiv za nekoga tko je godinama bio ključni igrač Crvenih vragova.
A new scandal surrounds the Belgian national team, dubbed the "drama queen" after Thibaut Courtois's return sparked conflict. Koen Casteels, the previous starting goalkeeper, publicly criticized the Belgian Football Association and Courtois, feeling his position was unfairly taken. Courtois responded, stating his issues were solely with former coach Domenico Tedesco. Youri Tielemans supported Courtois, criticizing Casteels's reaction.
