Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois feels he answered his critics during Belgium's World Cup campaign.
Courtois has finished the tournament with Golden Gloves.
He said: “I'm very happy with the team performance and I'm very happy with my own performances. I know this is my level, despite people calling me a bad goalkeeper but I think I proved a lot of people wrong and I know this is my level."
Asked to explain his comments about being a bad keeper, despite praise in Russia, he clarified that he meant at Chelsea last season.
He added: “You know what I mean. Sometimes during a season, you can have bad luck. I remember at one time, I had made only a 50 per cent saving rate but that's maybe because some goals are unsavable and people go too much blind on statistics, but this tournament I really felt well.
“The last one and-a-half-month at Chelsea, I performed at a high level and I felt I took this form with me and had a really good World Cup. To call me the best in the world, I don't know. Jordan (Pickford) made some good saves against Sweden and Colombia, and Lloris made against us a very good one and also against Uruguay.
“I don't think you can decide on the amount of saves, I think if you did then I exceed everyone. But sometimes it's just that one save that does it. The keeper I mentioned, Subasic as well, maybe all four were on a high level. That's how you take a team to the highest level."
