Chelsea’s number one goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, has said that he would have quit the club if he was in Petr Cech’s shoes.
The Czech Republic has lost his place to the younger Courtois, who returned to Stamford Bridge this summer after threee years at Atletico Madrid.
Cech conceded this week, that his future was in Chelsea’s hands, but the Belgian feels it would be better for him to seek an exit.
“As a goalkeeper you want to play,” Courtois told Sky Sports. “If I was in that situation where I didn’t play a lot, then I would leave too.
“I think Petr is still a goalkeeper with a lot of quality and one of the best there is.”
Courtois also dismissed talk that the Blues were going to finish this season unbeaten and insisted that winning the Premier League was the most important thing.
“Obviously a lot of people hope that we can go unbeaten, we will see. The Premier League is a very hard competition, so I think that’s maybe why just one team did it [Arsenal], but I think it will be hard,” Courtois added.
“It’s more important to be champions, and if it is unbeaten then OK.”
