Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois appeared in press statements after the victory over Oviedo 3-0 in the second round of La Liga.

The goalkeeper said: "It's a very important win. Winning away while keeping a clean sheet is crucial. The level we showed, our reactions, and our pressure were fantastic until the last second of the match. We knew it would be a tough game, as it was Oviedo's first match in the top division after 24 years."

He added: "Honestly, it's a first-class stadium, and a first-class team, and I enjoyed playing here. We knew it would be difficult, as they started the match well, but we managed to turn things around and created a lot of danger. Their goalkeeper did a great job keeping the match balanced until the end."

He emphasized: "Offensively, we could have settled the match earlier. When the score is 0-1, you know they always have a chance, like the ball that hit the post. All the players defended seriously, and we pressed well, which will allow us to achieve many victories. In attack, we ended up with 10 shots on goal and scored three goals, which is important."

He noted: "Alonso asked us from the beginning to start strong with a lot of high pressing and marking. If you press forward, they will have no way out except to send long balls, and that's where I or one of the defenders can quickly regain the ball and return to attack. It's very difficult for the opposing team to escape this pressure, and that's what we tried to do and succeeded well. It might happen that they escape the pressure and launch a counter-attack, which is why it's important for all players to return. That's what we did today, as well as against Osasuna, and this is how we should continue."

He continued: "I feel good. In the Osasuna match, I didn't have much work to do. The coach asks me to play higher up, so I run a lot and keep up with the team, because when they press forward, I need to be there; sometimes I find myself in the midfield. It requires a lot of focus, like making saves at the end and keeping a clean sheet. Our goal was to finish the match with a clean sheet, and in the end, winning 0-3 is better than winning 2-1 while suffering in the last minutes."

About the Oviedo fans, he concluded: "It was great. It's been a long time since we played here, and that means a lot to them. They are great fans and a great first-class stadium, and there are also many people who love Real Madrid. At the hotel, there was a kid wearing my jersey, and it caught my attention. Even though we were in a hurry to eat, I went to him and his father to sign the jersey. The kid and his father cried, and that was wonderful. These small details we can do cost nothing. When I saw he was wearing my jersey, it was easy to sign for him, and in the end, you make a big part of their lives happy. That makes me happy.
