Tomorrow evening, Real Madrid will challenge Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League. A trip that the Merengues will make without Antonio Rüdiger (32), who has been in the infirmary since September due to an ischio injury. He also took advantage of his free time to give an interview to The Icon in Germany. His words are relayed by A.S.. “There’s nothing I hate more than being hurt.” I’ll be back soon. I needed this time because the preparation after the Club World Cup was very short. I need a little more time. I really can’t wait to come back. I needed this time to disconnect, mentally and physically. I’m happy to be back.”
The German, however, gritted his teeth for a very long time last season, despite his injury. “It was incredible. But I would do it again without hesitation. I was in pain, but that’s in my nature. I still want to help, and I could still sprint. That’s why I said to myself: “Why not?” I would do it again.” In this interview, he also had a few words for his teammate Arda Güler. “He’s like a little brother to me. He had a difficult start. It simply took time to adapt. I always told him, “Your time will come sooner than you think. You just have to be ready.” He was from Türkiye, he was thin and he had to catch up. And he did it. He is young, very, very professional. And his talent is undeniable, needless to say.” The Turk will appreciate the German’s pretty words.
