Rudiger:'I'm combining the Real'win culture.
- How do you assess the meaning of joining Real?
- I think both in football and life, for me, this is a new chapter. And obviously, this new chapter is very important. This is a big step, perhaps the biggest in my player's career.
- How many suggestions are sent until you are about to run out of contract with Chelsea?
- I have received many suggestions about the future, including Barca. But I only reviewed Real and Chelsea.
- When asked by Real, what was the first thing he thought about?
- At that time, I exclaimed 'da'. Real contacted me for the first time with September or October 2021, if I remember correctly. You are not always the same level as Real's club, and that's great.
- What do you think when kicking Chelsea and scoring at the Bernabeu in the second leg of the Champions League quarter -final last season?
It was my first time in Bernabeu. Before the fighting day, the team went to Bernabeu and felt it, and you looked up and saw the structures of the yard. You realized this was a special place, and wanted to play high soccer on this stadium. It's a bad thing that things didn't go the way. And the real afterwards, I want to congratulate them.
How do you feel about Bernabeu?
I really like the football field. I've seen the plans after Bernabeu's back, and everything's even better when I look at it, I can't wait to walk out and compete on this carpet.
After that Real-Chelsea game, Carlo Ancelotti suggested your board of recruits. How do you feel about this information?
Everyone knows what Ancelotti tastes like in football history. He's the first manager, and he's proven it with the title of La Liga and Champions League. I don't need to talk much about Ancelotti, but just to say that I'm honored to have his eye on him. This is really a privilege.
How was your first conversation with Ancelotti?
He welcomed me to Real, when the contract was about to be signed, he said that all members of Real Real estate were happy when I joined the club, and that made me proud, Ancelotti real solid, but not the only man, Karzema, Luk or Tone. The fact that they're welcome to help me realize that I've been good for the last three years, and more motivation for the Real.
Following the 14 Cup C1/Champions League, how strong is it?
It's a bit of pressure, but that's the real history. They're used to victory, with psychological and victimology. But my personality is consistent with the real and culture.
In the German game at UEFA Laegue, you argue with the Spanish referee, Del Cerro Grande, for a temple punish, you consider yourself the leader of the team in that situation?
As a bodyguard, I have to be ready for every situation, urge my team, that's what I'm trying to do, and I want to connect with my teammates, to make an effort, and I think that's what's only one of my own, I'm sorry, but I'm not acting. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everything's been saying that.
So how is Rudiger on the lawn?
I don't think I'm a superstar, I'm just a normal guy. I felt the privilege of having a good life, wrapped in the great club and wanted to give back to society, community, offering what fans and football gave me, I grew up in a different environment where we don't have much money. But I always feel rich because I'm with my family. For me, the wealth is truly family.
-Who's in your family with you to Madrid?
My parents still live in Sierra Leone, my sister in Berlin and my brother lives in the Trier, Germany, only my wife and children will live with me in Madrid.
How do you imagine life in Madrid?
I think the weather will be better in London. Madrid has a lot of good food, we'll try paella and many other items I can't wait to come to this city, I think Madrid will be more noisy than I've ever lived. But I've been to Italy, and everything's not gonna make a difference.
A lot of people posted the video you advised Hazard not to come to Real. Do you remember?
I remember. Hazard stayed in Chelsea next season, only left the next season, after the Europa Laegue championship. When Hazard left, the team was upset, but I was glad for Hazard, because the real jacket was his dream since he was a kid. Hazard told us that he was a great fan of Zinedine Zidane.
I'm glad to see Hazard in Madrid. I know he's been through rough seasons, due to other problems, but I hope the Real fans can see Hazard as high as I've ever fought with. Hazard must still be one of the best players in the world.
After Champions League Champions, Hazard is confident to regain the highest rank of the next season.
I hope so. I hope Hazard can achieve the best possible form, because this is the most important thing to the top athletes. I have no doubt of Hazard's qualities. He's a top-class player, and I'll try to assist Hazard.
Who were you a fan when you were a kid?
If I had to choose, I particularly like you, George Weah and Ronaldo Nazario. Weah was the only African player who took the Golden Dragon and the idol of many people, and Ronaldo, he simply couldn't believe it.
But it's two fronts, and you're the middle man?
When I was a kid, it took me five 16 years old, I started kicking back. In the end, it was the right decision.
You're a regular queens mother to join the attack. How do you think this style suits the Real?
That's how I fight, there's a lot of areas on the field that I can endanger my opponent, and I've always tried to record as much as I can. I've been playing at the top of the football club, and by that, I learned a lot of things, I used to say football was made of chapters, and through chapter, I grew up.
How do you plan on doing the language when you're going to Real?
I don't even learn Spanish yet, but I'll do it soon. I can communicate with Italian, and I think it'll make it easier to learn Spanish, which can communicate with local languages where I fight is very important. It shows respect to the country and those who live there. My duty is to learn Spanish.
How did you do after a long-term season?
It's been a long season, but right now, working hard to make you strong. One of my strong points is psychological. After every battle, I'm always tired, that's normal. But if Coach asks me to go to the next yard, I'm ready.
What do you think about sharing a Spanish board with the World Cup 2022?
I'm very excited to go to that game. In order to win the World Cup, you have to defeat the strongest teams, and Spain is one of the champions, the last time you met Spain, Germany lost the 0-6. It's painful, but going to Spain to make me more excited, and I'm happy with my decision.
