Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois wants his team to fix three problems after their 1-1 tie with Al Hilal. The Spanish giants gave away a needless penalty that led to the Saudi team's goal. Courtois thinks Real Madrid players rush their attacks instead of staying calm with the ball.
The Belgian keeper said his teammates must learn patience during matches. Madrid needs to hold onto the ball longer and avoid making quick decisions under pressure. Ruben Neves scored from the penalty spot to give Al Hilal their equalizer.
Both teams found the net once at Hard Rock Stadium during the Club World Cup match. Gonzalo Garcia also scored for one of the sides in the draw. Madrid will face Mexican club Pachuca in their next tournament game on Sunday.
Courtois has played for top European clubs like Chelsea and Atletico Madrid before joining Real Madrid. He believes better ball control will help his current team avoid similar mistakes. The goalkeeper wants Madrid to take more time when building their attacks against future opponents.
