Germany’s starting defender Antonio Rüdiger spoke with Kicker ahead of the quarterfinal.
The hosts are about to face a strong Spanish side, and Rüdiger believes this game will be key in their path towards the title: “Against Spain you cannot make any mistakes. Their counter-attacks are very dangerous, especially with Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal on the wings, they are a really strong team. You could say the two most consistent teams of the tournament so far will clash.”
“Williams and Yamal are both very young, but they take responsibility, give their all, and they aren’t afraid to make mistakes.” Rüdiger praised the two youngsters he plays alongside in La Liga.
“We have to be brave and push forward because their defense is also vulnerable. They are good at pressing high, and we can handle that, but we have to keep the ball well and stay calm under pressure.”
