Chelsea keeper Courtois happy after first weeks with Atletico Madrid

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is happy with his first weeks on-loan at Atletico Madrid.

Courtois has inherited the gloves of £20m Manchester United new boy de Gea, but insists he doesn't feel under any additional scrutiny.

He said: "I don't put myself under pressure.

"I want to play well for myself and the team and I don't want to look at what happened before.

"In the past, David de Gea was here, but it's all about me now. De Gea was a huge player here and I wish him every success in Manchester, but I have to concentrate on what I do and I'm the Atletico keeper now. I hope we can win, but the problem we have is scoring goals and if we don't score goals, we can't win.

"Falcao is a very good player who has been looking good in training, along with Diego and Arda Turan too, but we need to start scoring goals."
