at a young age, thibaut already had very very good reflexes and gk positioning. Now after 3 years at Madrid, he's also improved his Gk kicking and Gk handling, fantastic all round keeper now. One of the best in the world
As a football supporter im impressed with the talent Belgium is producing: (e.g Courtois, De Bruyne, Witsel, Vertonghen, Kompany, Vermaelen, Dembele, Lukaku and obviously Hazard as well.)
Dayumm I got chills just imagining him saving shots from the likes of rooney and headers from chicharito. looks like we dont have to worry about our keeper after Petr's gone.
Hes got some mad skills. I was told he was really good but he truly surprised me o.0 His ability to save headers (which are usually very hard to do if the header is good enough) is really superb.
9:21 - end was the last game of the season, against the second team in the ranking. These saves where at 1-1, less than 10 minutes left to play. They won the titlle!
He's very good... His reaction and reflexes really helped his older club I hope he gets playing time with Chelsea in the future... Also I'm glad atletico use him as their first choice
@Hats2703 Thank you so much for appreciating young goalkeepers like De Gea and Sczcesny instead of bad mouthing them... i really have respect for you, unlike the other user comments on every Courtois video bad mouthing De Gea and Sczcesny
amazing goalkepper he have an incredible reaction.. i think he will be the number one in the world in just few next years , but first he should develop its capacity of stopping the direct free kicks and evaluate more agility
@MrMrjmb I'm belgian and I noticed that 4 years ago when Standard dominated Liverpool with Defour (19), Fellaini (19) and Witsel (18) in midfield. I thought "well, we have a very strong midfield for the next ten years in national team". Kompany was already a worldclass talent, but then Hazard showed up, then Dembele Vertonghen Vermaelen and Alderweireld in Holland, Lukaku, Mignolet, De Bruyne and Courtois in Belgium, Nainggolan in Italy, ... And others are coming :)
Dude... he does an awesome turn in the SAME VIDEO YOU'RE COMMENTING ON. You know - something that takes skill and is difficult for such a big fella. Plus he scored plenty in the Europa League, not just in Belgium. Now when was the last time a massive, but slightly clumsy guy from a relatively minor European league scored lots of goals in the UEFA Cup and then moved to Chelsea? Oh it was this guy - Didier Drogba.
@nocternalD He was league top scorer at 16 years old. He's incredibly fast, not just for a player his size, but for a person in general. His technique has improved vastly, Drogba and Torres give him a lot of advice and they are both technically gifted on the ball. He's pretty good off the ball too and creating space for other players from the reserve games i've been watching.
why all this hate on Chelsea, the new goalkeeper is 6ft6 he was the fist-choice goalkeeper for Genk last season and was named Belgian goalkeeper of the year. He even was named in the Belgian squad for the first time for last month's Euro. 2012 qualifier against Turkey
This boy is really good!!!need him at Chelsea!his shot blocking, positioning, bravery and anticipation are really good.he just needs to get his handling up and he's gonna be a joy to watch between the sticks.An I think with a better Defense he'll be top class!!!!
Hij doet me denken met het uitkomen aan Schmeichel en op de lijn aan Buffon. Hele goede keeper en zeker gezien zijn leeftijd! 1 ding wat ik iets minder vind maar dat heeft met zijn leeftijd te maken, is dat hij geen oog heeft voor zijn eigen goal,maar alles tegenhoud, ook ballen die je met meer inzicht naast ziet gaan.Hij iets teveel oog voor de bal. Neemt niet weg dit wordt een wereld keeper.Inzicht komt nog wel.Hij stopt alles!
There were quit a few balls that he should have hold on to in the first time. But his range and reflexes are just amazing. He should stay at Genk for another 2 years or so because he is so young, Chelsea comes to early now for him. Definetly going to buy him on FIFA :P
you people have to remember with this video its only showing his best bits and not how he plays for a whole 90 mins he doesnt seem to be very calm or composed but has amazing shop stopping talent definately not the finished article but massive potential will judge him properly when i see him play for chelsea against man u or arsenal or one of the big clubs hes never played that competitively will the pressue get the better of him or not only time will tell
@PforPier True, but most of the time the ball did bounce to his teammate or empty area, which is pretty good. Especially Chelsea have one of the best defense line in the world, I guess they can anticipate his attitude in goal keeping (rarely catch the ball). And he is still 19 :D
As SuperAndrew411 said... Courtois is already a Chelsea player, where the plan is to loan him back to Atletico again, before maybe one season loan in the Premier League and then take over from the great Cech. Courtois is in a bit of a strange situation... second best keeper at his club, but too good to stay on the bench. Hopefully by then he'll have learnt the width of his posts and how to catch a ball ;) Looks very promising though.
as a chelsea fan he looks good but i hoping to see some footage of him going up for corner's. because when he is at chelsea away to stoke and some bloke called rory delap is about to take a throw he isnt going to know what to do.
Looks solid. Only concern is that in a better league, a lot of those deflected saves will become second chances. Needs to get better at holding on to the ball as opposed to just pushing it away from goal. Glad to have an heir apparent to the peerless Petr Cech though!
I am a chelsea fan, but i am still a little sceptical. I mean we already have two good keeper prospects in Taylor and Delac. Still i guess there is a better chance of a Cech replacement with 3 talents.
To those who say he can't catch ball: come on guys, that's just a vid. Off course the guy who did it just put the most spectacular saves, and off course they're mostly non-handling saves. What did you expect? A keeper who can handle shoots a point-blank range?
Maak van dit filmpje een video reactie op iets van Casilas, Van Der Sar en Schmeichel zodat je wat je hits krijgt, show of our Genk Talent of the year !
has any1els noticed how many ' wonderkids' are comeing out of belgium, not the 1st country you think of when you think of amazing footballers, what r they feeding thos kids, their national team is gonna be amazing in the next couple of years
@wokewokewoke And this vid is from his first and until now only season in the first team, almost 10:00 of spectacular saves means he has done really well not a lot of those saves could have been caught anyway! KRC Genk fan thanks for winning us the title Thibaut
it's incredible, he played only 1.5 years on highest level in Belgium, and you made a video of 10 minutes with one by one great saves...
at a young age, thibaut already had very very good reflexes and gk positioning. Now after 3 years at Madrid, he's also improved his Gk kicking and Gk handling, fantastic all round keeper now. One of the best in the world

He'll be belgium's #1 very soon, he made 1 mistake this year, a penalty fault, but he did incredible saves, what a reflexes
Hes got some mad skills. I was told he was really good but he truly surprised me o.0 His ability to save headers (which are usually very hard to do if the header is good enough) is really superb.
hazard,fellaini,courtois,mertens,vermaelen,company,defour,dembele great Belgium i love belgium players from a romanian
9:21 - end was the last game of the season, against the second team in the ranking. These saves where at 1-1, less than 10 minutes left to play. They won the titlle!
Never watched this guy before, but he's class! Bring in him into the first team slowly...Not unlike United and David De Gay!
Wow... his reflexes are freakin' amazing
He's very good... His reaction and reflexes really helped his older club I hope he gets playing time with Chelsea in the future... Also I'm glad atletico use him as their first choice
It's been 11 years since your comment
and he became the best goalkeeper in the world
Courtois we love you !
His first save is amazing for a youngster. Casillas did a save like that in 2009
One day he will be crowned as the best keeper in the world, definitely!
All of this in one season :)
Amazing!!!!
This kid is freakin' amazing
@Hats2703 Thank you so much for appreciating young goalkeepers like De Gea and Sczcesny instead of bad mouthing them... i really have respect for you, unlike the other user comments on every Courtois video bad mouthing De Gea and Sczcesny
He is looking really good. Made so many reflex saves, Great signing for Chelsea :)
amazing goalkepper he have an incredible reaction.. i think he will be the number one in the world in just few next years , but first he should develop its capacity of stopping the direct free kicks and evaluate more agility

i damn miss this keeper in genk :s
wow awesome reflexes i'm glad chelsea wants him. we would be a great replacement for cech.
Ce mec est juste incroyable!
3.33 and 9.25 world class saves, fenomenal...... absolutley brilliant
omg omg.......

Great video!
Excellent news for Chelsea. Next best goalie of the world. Mark my words
awesome goalkeeper, great talent & hope he'll be able to success at Chelsea :)
he's been there for ages
"Your search for the best saves of Ross Turnbull produced no results..."
what a amazing keeper with 19 years ! he'd be the perfect new schalke goalkeeper after manuel neuer leave us to the fuckin' bayern munich
Holy crap! This kid is only 18/19. The next Peter Cech!?!?!
@nocternalD He was league top scorer at 16 years old. He's incredibly fast, not just for a player his size, but for a person in general.

Best young goalkeeper in the world. Belgium players are the best in the world yo.
we will miss you thibaut!
This boy is really good!!!need him at Chelsea!his shot blocking, positioning, bravery and anticipation are really good.he just needs to get his handling up and he's gonna be a joy to watch between the sticks.An I think with a better Defense he'll be top class!!!!
and all these saves were maid when he was in his teen years...
This Guy is a Beast..... Good job Chelsea Fc.
Awesome keeper

Just signed @ Chelsea :( KRC will miss you!!
Reminded of a young Iker casillias from his saves but has the body of Petr Cech and to me that's a wild mix of goalkeeper
cómo se llama la banda y y el tema que abren el video?
what it's the name of the first band and song of the video?
There were quit a few balls that he should have hold on to in the first time. But his range and reflexes are just amazing. He should stay at Genk for another 2 years or so because he is so young, Chelsea comes to early now for him.
Definetly going to buy him on FIFA :P
you people have to remember with this video its only showing his best bits and not how he plays for a whole 90 mins he doesnt seem to be very calm or composed but has amazing shop stopping talent definately not the finished article but massive potential will judge him properly when i see him play for chelsea against man u or arsenal or one of the big clubs hes never played that competitively will the pressue get the better of him or not only time will tell
es un porterazo!
@loeufil
I'm a Anderlecht's fan and i agree with you. I'm happy that he won the title of best goalkeeper of the year, as if i like Proto :)
Nice vid Genkie ;)
quá hay ... I love t.courtois
Nesse tempo ele era meio maluco hoje em dia ele é mais calmo, frio e tranquilo...
Hes only 19 too and hes s beast
I'm fan of Club Brugge, but he is my idol
Kids gonna be a star at Chelsea.
celtic game courtois was fenomenal
@PforPier True, but most of the time the ball did bounce to his teammate or empty area, which is pretty good. Especially Chelsea have one of the best defense line in the world, I guess they can anticipate his attitude in goal keeping (rarely catch the ball). And he is still 19 :D
@nocternalD His techniques improved vastly. We'll see in a few years if he lives up to the hype or if he flops.
@chelsea4and4ever Hellyea. Would love to see this guy at Chelsea
He's got Moroccan roots, but he has the Belgian nationality.
@MyBomben thank you bro I love the beat of that song
Hes already at chelsea, he signed a year ago..
What's the name of the song playing the background guys? Please and thanks
Can't wait to see him play at Chelsea
As SuperAndrew411 said... Courtois is already a Chelsea player, where the plan is to loan him back to Atletico again, before maybe one season loan in the Premier League and then take over from the great Cech.
Courtois is in a bit of a strange situation... second best keeper at his club, but too good to stay on the bench.
Hopefully by then he'll have learnt the width of his posts and how to catch a ball ;) Looks very promising though.
As a big Man United fan, am wonderin y we didn't get this guy? how did we not notice him? :(
Only let in 1 goal in like 6-7 games for Athletico (incl. cup + european games) against valencia, doing good.
as a chelsea fan he looks good but i hoping to see some footage of him going up for corner's. because when he is at chelsea away to stoke and some bloke called rory delap is about to take a throw he isnt going to know what to do.
What kind of gloves does Courtois have cuz i might see if i can buy them ? TheUKLegendz
He is gonna be one hell of a goalkeeper...gonna compete with De Gea for best goalkeeper in the world in a few years..Long term replacement for Cech ^^
he so smart
This guy is insane hope he doed come to chelsea
What is the name of the first song?
nice vid and he´s really nice :) What´s the name of the song????
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die - name of the 2nd song
and he was 16 years old at that time... imagine....
Looks solid. Only concern is that in a better league, a lot of those deflected saves will become second chances. Needs to get better at holding on to the ball as opposed to just pushing it away from goal. Glad to have an heir apparent to the peerless Petr Cech though!
Muy buen portero
wat an absolute bargain,let him go back for 1 year then let him challenge cechy wechy
He wont need to complain to any defenders at Chelsea thats for sure!
delac and courtois.. will compete each other for future.. who's the best?
I am a chelsea fan, but i am still a little sceptical. I mean we already have two good keeper prospects in Taylor and Delac. Still i guess there is a better chance of a Cech replacement with 3 talents.
QUE BUEN ARQUERO CARAJO
name one song?
wow!!!!!!!!!
wholy crap this keeper is good. he will be a good successor for Cech
music name ?
This was posted 10months ago....
u become a better goalkeeper by just watching him :)
To those who say he can't catch ball: come on guys, that's just a vid. Off course the guy who did it just put the most spectacular saves, and off course they're mostly non-handling saves. What did you expect? A keeper who can handle shoots a point-blank range?
how do you pronounce his name?
Song?
