Carlo Ancelotti sponsored Thibaut Courtois by using insisting he could now not swap the Belgian for every body after the Real Madrid big name became snubbed for The Best FIFA Men's Goalkeeper award.
World soccer's governing body announced its listing of nominees for the stop-of-year awards on Monday, and Courtois changed into apparently absent.
Alisson, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Edouard Mendy, Manuel Neuer and Kasper Schmeichel had been the ones showed to be within the running for the goalkeeper award.
Courtois, who received the award in 2018, does no longer trust he has been not noted due to his performances, as a substitute latest remarks he made.
The 29-year-vintage criticised UEFA and FIFA in October, accusing the institutions of treating gamers like "robots" amid fixture congestion, claiming those in fee simplest "care approximately their pockets" and no longer the ones gambling the game.
Speaking on Tuesday in advance of Madrid's Champions League conflict with Sheriff, Courtois advised reporters: "I'm not going to comment on why I'm not nominated for The Best.
"I think it's due to some thing I commented on a month ago, but it is it. Whoever receives it wins. The man or woman awards aren't vital."
Madrid in reality are not shy about publicly backing their very own gamers for character awards, with such campaigns frequently seen during Cristiano Ronaldo's time at the membership.
