The conflict between them cannot be reconciled.
It is reported that the conflict dispute began because of the Belgium national team captain armband, in Courtois 100 milestone he hoped to bring the captain armband, but Tedesco will be the captain armband to Lukaku, so the two sides had a conflict, Courtois left the national team.
Content of posting:
I would like to say something to the Belgian fans and supporters of the national team.
I feel immense love and pride to represent my country on the pitch, and so do each and every one of you who support the Belgian team. I am honored to wear the national team jersey. Even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would wear the national team jersey more than 100 times.
Unfortunately, after a conflict with my coach and much deliberation, I decided not to return to the Belgian national team coached by Tedesco. In this matter, I take my responsibility. Looking ahead, however, my distrust of Tedesco was not conducive to a friendly atmosphere within the team. I had several discussions with the Belgian Football Association, which accepted my position and the reasons that prompted me to take this painful but sensible decision. I regret that this may disappoint some fans, but I believe it is the best course of action for Belgium as it ends the controversy and allows the team to focus on pursuing its goals.
Thank you for your unwavering support, love and understanding.
