National football team: Völler criticizes Rüdiger for an outbreak of an outbreak: “That doesn’t work”

Rudi Völler has given Antonio Rüdiger a clear complaint for his freak out in the Spanish cup final. “That doesn’t work. Not as a German international. He has to change that and he knows that himself, that shows his public reaction,” said the sports director of the national soccer team at the request of the German press agency. “Toni is a great player – but as a national player, he also has to show great in his behavior. He rightly demands respect for himself, he must also show this respect without exception.”

From the statements of Völler you can derive that there will be no sporting sanctions on the part of the DFB with a view to the Nations League for Rüdiger. The vice captain is actually not dispensable for the upcoming final tournament in the Nations League from June June 8th in Munich and Stuttgart.

After the Spanish cup final, Rüdiger registered with him and national coach Julian Nagelsmann on Sunday, reported Völler (65). The topic was also discussed within the German Football Association with President Andreas Neuendorf and Managing Director Andreas Rettig.

“A team also lives from their different characters. Toni is an outstanding footballer and a very emotional type, a fighter on the square. He should stay that way,” said Völler, without specifically responding to possible consequences on the part of the DFB.

Rüdiger had insulted the referee Wüst shortly before the extension of the final against FC Barcelona (2: 3) and thrown at an object. Apparently it was an ice cube. The defender, which had already been replaced a few minutes earlier, saw the red card for this. He threatens a long lock in Spain.

Rüdiger had reported on social networks in the morning after the game and showed remorse. “There is no excuse for my behavior last night. I’m very sorry,” wrote the 32-year-old.

Matthew and Hamann are calling for consequences

Ex-stars had called for consequences for the central defender from national coach Nagelsmann. “I think that the DFB should suspend it. I would not invite him to the Nations League final tournament and would leave him out for the two games,” said ex-international Dietmar Hamann in Sport1 “Doppelpass”.

Record national player Lothar Matthäus also said that the DFB could not only have a conversation with Rüdiger now “and then turn the thing under the carpet”. Matthew said “Sky90” and advocated a bank place for Rüdiger at the Nation League final tournament for a bank.

Already a punishment after a freak out on probation

Rüdiger hadn’t noticed negatively for the first time. Because of a head-to-head gesture in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Atlético Madrid, he was only punished by UEFA at the beginning of the month. In addition to a lock for a game – exposed to probation for one year – he received a fine of 40,000 euros.
