Thibaut Courtois insists he did not intend his recent remarks about Jordan Pickford to sound disparaging, as SkySports reports. Belgium goalkeeper Courtois got involved in a bizarre spat over his England counterpart when he suggested, because he is taller, he might have saved Adnan Januzaj's winner when the two sides met in the World Cup last week.

"I never mocked his height, I want to make that clear, because I would never mock the height of a goalkeeper. I think he is a great goalkeeper. He proved that this year. I only said that, because he got a touch, I would have saved it because I am 15 centimetres taller, but I never mocked his height. He is a great goalkeeper. I want to make that clear", Courtois said.

This is great he cleared himself and there is no any arrogance from Courtois towards the English goalkeeper.
