A few weeks ago, Antonio Rüdiger made a scandal in the Spanish trophy. The national coach clearly rejected the real professional again.
Antonio Rüdiger’s freak out in the Spanish Cup final at the end of April at the DFB. National coach Julian Nagelsmann found clear words in the district of the national team in Herzogenaurach.
“The limit has been reached. He shouldn’t afford more, otherwise it has larger consequences,” said Nagelsmann on Friday – and meant the behavior of his defense chief in the Clásico against Barça.

Nagelsmann now explained to Rüdiger’s behavior: “He knows that it was wrong.” At some point you have to give the 32-year-old the chance to do better, the coach said. “We are now in this phase.”
Rüdiger is not available to the DFB team for the Nation’s League semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday in Munich-he is missing after knee operation.
