Thibaut Courtois

I love living in London.

If the coach on the sidelines is not that strong, transmitting the kind of spirit he has, players won't always handle it well. Life becomes difficult. But, with Mourinho, everything is good. He knows when to be among his players, as 'one of us' making jokes as a friend, and when to be strong and distant, even severe.

I think life in London is good.

It is very tough in England. Every away game is hard, of course. And normally, if you're a big club like Chelsea, you're supposed to win games at home against smaller clubs. But in England, that's not the case. We must play well every game.

Nobody is guaranteed to be a starter; thinking that would be a mistake.

Winning a trophy would be a good way to finish a bad season in a positive way. But I'm not obsessed by the fact I have to win a trophy every year - it's a nice thing, but I know it's sometimes impossible.

It is a childhood dream to be in the World Cup.

I remember people saying that Atletico wanted me, that they are a big team, and that it will be a big challenge for me. I don't know why, but I just felt really prepared for it, really confident. I went there and tried to do my best in training as well as learn the language really quickly. That was important, I think.

For goalkeepers, the better years, they say, come from the age of 27 or 28.

When you get injured for a long time, it's not nice because you are out of the team and not involved anymore.

It was so nice to see that the Chelsea supporters appreciated my talent and my work at Atletico.

In the media, they're always talking about money. I'm not denying that it plays a role, but everything has to be in its right place.
