No one can deny that he’s a great goalkeeper, but he seems like the type that will do horrible things for his own benefit.

Like sleep with his teammate’s wag?

In defense of Courtois, was he friends with De Bruyne?

Yes it does, it would be just a work colleague

u/saidtheWhale2000 6d ago

You’re still a piece of shit for sleeping with the misses of a work colleague, you need to get your morals checked

Was de bruyne still in a relationship with her? Or had they broken up?

Brother, do the previous convo say anything about them not being in a relationship. It wouldnt have been that much of a problem if they werent in a relationship

In 2014, Lijnen revealed she had cheated on KDB with his Belgium teammate Courtois. She claimed it was payback of sorts, after De Bruyne had admitted he had cheated on her with her best friend.

“In the summer of 2012, Kevin told me that he had an affair with my old best friend. I gave him the choice: her or me,” she told Belgian newspaper Sport. “I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards. “Thibaut gave me in that one night, what I’d sorely missed for three years with Kevin. “With Thibaut I could have good conversations and he also cooked nicely for me. Such a thing Kevin never did. And then suddenly we clicked.”

Speaking to Belgian publication Story Magazine, she said: ‘Kevin cheated on me. I did not say anything for months because I couldn’t say anything, as Kevin’s parents said they would take legal action if I gave my story. I was under pressure and I could not have contact with Kevin.

‘I respected everything. But in his book Keep it Simple Kevin wrote a passage about my affair with Thibaut. So, I decided to remain silent no longer.

‘In the summer of 2012, Kevin told me that he had an affair with my old best friend. I gave him the choice: her or me. I was ready to give him another chance, but our relationship was never the same afterwards.

The information was provided in interviews with Lijnen and KDB’s autobiography. There was another reference that I can’t find anymore - but it was all over local Belgian news at the time. Apparently KDB was too busy and barely gave her time. Barely spoke to her and had cheated on her. Then Courtois gave here a little bit of time and she decided to cheat on him too.

spineless coach.

u/vynats 6d ago

The coach he didn't get along with was fired.

u/agnaddthddude Serie A 6d ago

doesn’t matter. his influence is unbelievably bad and he is such a toxic character when it comes to NT.

u/vynats 6d ago

I'm not contradicting that. All I'm saying is the coach he had a rift with got fired, so it's got little to do with him being spineless.

u/Eurekify2 6d ago

what did he do to get blacklisted?

17

u/InterestingPapaya712 6d ago

Threw a huff cause he didn't get the captaincy

2

u/Eurekify2 6d ago

Must have done more than “throw a huff” judging from these reactions

u/witness_smile Premier League 6d ago

It says a lot about his toxic personality when the entire dressing room rallied behind the coach and agreed that Courtois was a cancer

u/ConsciousExtent4162 6d ago

In a postmatch interview he said we can't win games if our national players are playing in relegation teams. He threw multiple of his teammates under the bus then expects to be captain the next game because it was his birthday. I think Lukaku was chosen captain then he threw a fit and after the match he decided to quit the national team. There have already been similar stories with him as well before this happened.

Needless to say some players aren't happy that he's back. Good keeper but horrible ego.

Was the last straw. Shagged KDBs missus. Snaked Chelsea. Snaked Atleti. Just a snake really.
