Western media: rudiger was angry and failed to start & pre-match training was full of anger and his teammates were surprised.
Live on May 20th, according to the news in the western media "relevo", Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti chose to substitute rudiger in the second round against Manchester City, which surprised the whole team and made the players very angry.
Rudiger restrained Harland in the first leg against Manchester City, and An Shuai also publicly announced that rudiger would start. According to the media, because of this, when An Shuai changed his mind to let rudiger substitute, the German central defender felt a little unacceptable. Rudiger himself and his teammates were surprised.
In the competition, rudiger’s body language has spoken for itself. Real Madrid also predicted that rudiger would start, Alaba would be left-back, Cammavinga would reinforce the midfield and Rodrigo would be on standby.
After determining the starting lineup, rudiger was once very depressed, and several teammates tried to comfort and encourage the angry central defender. As a matter of fact, rudiger was full of anger during pre-match training, as if playing a top-level race, constantly seeking physical confrontation.
However, in the case of 0-2 backwardness, it is intriguing for An Shuai to replace modric with rudiger. It is obviously illogical for the central defender to change the midfield. The Real Madrid team thinks that this is an act of compensation by An Shuai to appease rudiger.
After the game, Galeries Lafayette also came to the dressing room, trying to boost the morale of the team, and also appeased rudiger a little. According to the media, An Shuai always prefers the central defender combination of Militao and Alaba.
