Courtois on Mbappe: It`s like a bottle of ketchup: you can knock on it as much as you like, but just a little comes out, and then suddenly everything pours out. The goals will come

Thibaut Courtois spoke about Kylian Mbappe`s poor start at Real Madrid. This is similar to what I experienced when I came here. The demands of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and Real Madrid are not easy. You know where you are going and what awaits you, but on our site it is always difficult.
I also don`t think we should look for a whole bunch of reasons to explain his underperformance. Sometimes it has to do with psychology. He wants to succeed so much that sometimes when you do too much, you fail. The more you try, the less you succeed.
He needs to be calm and patient. He needs to do simple tasks well and then focus on more difficult ones. He needs to continue to work hard in training and it will show during matches. I`m sure that once this works, the goals will come.
He`s a great player. I have played against him many times and know his qualities. He works hard, he has a lot of desire and willpower. He scored against [Getafe] in the most difficult moment he had. In the rest he failed to send the ball into the net, a little unlucky.
But he has to keep working and I`m sure he`ll score a lot of goals in the end. Sometimes it`s like a bottle of [ketchup]: you can knock on it as much as you want, but just a little comes out, and then suddenly everything comes out.
I think it will be the same with him. Suddenly things will go well and he will score a lot of goals, as he did in PSG, Monaco and the French national team. He was very good [against Getafe], creating chances, occupying spaces and defending well. We are confident that everything will go smoothly if he continues in the same spirit, ” said the Real Madrid goalkeeper.
Mbappe was named man of the match against Getafe. The Frenchman has a goal, Bellingham has 1+1
