What They're Saying
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (via the Daily Mail): "We don't have the title in the bag. We are working game by game. The Premier League is very difficult. We are trying to win with every game that is possible, but there will be a still a long way to win the title. We are working hard. Hopefully, that will be enough."
When asked whether he will be as vocal for his club as his nation, Courtois added: "Yes, maybe that happens. But there are also other guys who can say something. Just to say some names, Terry [Cahill] or [Didier] Drogba, they have experience and leadership."
