Rudiger: My behavior was wrong last season s Cup final, and it was really stupid

German defender Rudiger admitted that his extreme move in the final of the Copa del Rey last season was wrong.

In the final of the King's Cup last season, Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 2-3. In the last moment of overtime, Rudiger, who had been replaced, was dissatisfied with the penalty and threw something into the field to vent his anger, and got a red card. After the game, Rudiger was criticized by all parties and was suspended for 6 games. There were also rumors that the German national team was also considering firing Rudiger.

Rudiger said: "Of course, I have noticed the discussion on this in Germany, and I have already reflected on it thoroughly. There is no doubt that my behavior was wrong, and it was completely over-examination, without any excuses. I threw the bandage into the court and completely lost control, which is really stupid."

Rudiger continued: "Everyone knows that I am a very emotional person, and I always put in 100% of my efforts on the court. My style of playing comes from such emotions, which makes me the current central defender. But that is indeed a huge mistake, which makes me very annoyed by myself."

Rudiger was selected for the new German national team and will compete in the two European qualifiers in the World Cup in early September.
