Not attending EURO 2024, Courtois “relaxes” on a luxury yacht

Having a lot of free time when not being called up by coach Domenico Tedesco to join the Belgian team to participate in EURO 2024, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and his wife Mishel Gerzig went to relax on a sunny beach.

Courtois has just gone through a season full of ups and downs with Real Madrid. The 32-year-old player suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury right before the start of the 2023/24 campaign, thereby forcing him to take a long-term break from competition.

Courtois only had about 1 month of competition but still left a strong impression, including an excellent performance against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final, making a great contribution to helping Los Blancos reach the elephant ear trophy for the 15th time. in history.

Although he returned and played excellently, Courtois was unexpectedly not on the list to participate in Belgium’s EURO 2024 because coach Tedesco believed that the former Chelsea star was not ready for a big tournament.

Leaving behind great regrets, Courtois and his beautiful wife, Gerzig, flew to the island of Sardinia, Italy for a vacation and to warm up their relationship.

Like many other football stars, Courtois also rented a luxury yacht to enjoy the vacation with his wife, friends and relatives.

The Sun’s photojournalist captured many moments when the goalkeeper, born in 1992, and his wife were “sticky together”. The two have many sweet gestures and actions towards each other.

Looking at his facial expression, it shows that the former Chelsea star was not disappointed at being rejected by coach Tedesco at EURO 2024. Courtois sunbathed shirtless and drank champagne with friends.

Even though Gerzig was “sneakyly photographed”, she still exudes sexiness when wearing a black bikini.

Also according to The Sun, the reason Courtois was not called up to play for his home national team is not simply because of injury.

The above newspaper hypothesized that there was a rift in the relationship between Courtois and coach Tedesco because the 32-year-old goalkeeper previously accused the Italian coach of lying after hearing that Tedesco told the press that he had tried to persuade the Italian coach. I came back but failed.

In addition, another reason why Courtois conflicts with Tedesco comes from the fact that the 38-year-old strategist prioritizes striker Romelu Lukaku as captain whenever Kevin De Bruyne cannot play.
