Thibaut Courtois came out to warm up at halftime against Middlesbrough, and the Chelsea goalkeeper has revealed why.
“Like against Everton I had nothing to do but you have to keep your mind focused until the referee blows his whistle,” said the Blues goalkeeper.
“At half-time I did some extra warming up with Gianluca Spinelli [our goalkeeping coach] because it was a cold day and I wanted to get the feeling of the ball. Obviously that helps if you have to make a save.” Courtois told Chelsea TV.
