“There is a large rivalry that reaches roots in the distant past. I look forward to the opportunity to go to the field of a stadium like San Siro.
I am very glad to see Luciano Spalletti who was a very important trainer in my career. He really pulled me the best I could like a young player from Germany. He taught me a lot, and although I am very happy to meet him again, obviously, I also want to win him with my team. It is a complex rival, both in quality of players and a trainer.
Italy was very important to me and I learned a lot in terms of defense, but I also liked the local lifestyle, because in Italy the best food in the world. There are large clubs such as Roma, Napoli, Juventus, Inter and Milan. Football can never be said, but I am very happy where I am and I don’t think about what I am waiting for in the future.
In recent years, Baston is constantly improving and is a real leader in Inter. I have known Kalafiory since he played in Roma when he was in a youth team and suffered a serious injury. Now he is in the arsenal, and he is waiting for a great future, but at the moment Baston is undoubtedly the best defender in Italy. No doubt.
Bissec just has to be itself. I was in his place and I know it takes time and you just need to continue working on myself. He had some experience abroad, where everything was not easy, but now he leaves his mark in Inter and I wish him all the best.
Win the Champions League or League of Nations? I will be honest, in the past I would say that the Champions League was more important. However, we all know that in recent years the things in Germany have not been going well, but fortunately, now the situation has changed, and we have a simpler plan that makes our football less difficult. The victory in the League of Nations may not be the same as the victory at the World Cup, but it is still important, ” – says Rudiger’s words TMW.
We will remind, the match Italy – Germany will take place tomorrow, March 20, at 9:45 pm behind Kiev.
