Antonio Rüdiger’s violent freak out in the Spanish cup final should also have consequences in the national team.
“I think that the DFB should suspend it. I would not invite him to the Nations League end tournament and would leave him out for the two games,” said Hamann in Sport1 “Doppelpass”. Rüdiger has not become behavioral for the first time, said the TV expert.
Shortly before the end of the extension of the final against FC Barcelona (2: 3), the already replaced Rüdiger had insulted the referee and thrown at an object that was apparently an ice cube. The defender saw the red card and has to fear a long lock.
Monthly lock for Rüdiger?
According to the media, it could be closed to at least four to twelve games. However, if the Spanish Football Association rates the action as an attack on the referee, it even threatens a block for several months, it said.
Rüdiger had shown remorse in the morning and asked for forgiveness. “There is no excuse for my behavior last night. I’m very sorry,” wrote the 32-year-old on social media.
According to Hamann, the national coach should still impose a break for Rüdiger. “Julian Nagelsmann is not tired of repeatedly emphasizing how important it is to convey values and take responsibility,” said the former international.
Ex-referee Kinhöfer: “A shame”
Former FIFA referee Thorsten Kinhöfer is also convinced that the behavior must have consequences. “Rüdiger’s appearance is a shame. The national coach has to consider whether such a man can still represent our country,” said the 56-year-old of the “picture”.
The DFB selection will meet Portugal on June 4 in the semi-finals of the Nations League in Munich. On June 8th, the final or in the game for third place against France or Spain.
