Antonio Rudiger has officially spoken after his strange fight with Paul Pogba during Germany’s Euro 2021 loss against France in Munich.
Rudiger seemed to have made contact with his mouth on France midfielder Pogba’s back in Tuesday’s Group F opener. Manchester United midfielder Pogba at first responded in stun, yet later demanded that Rudiger should confront no discipline.
Rudiger has now come out to explain the circumstance, uncovering that he has addressed Pogba about the occurrence and that there is no awful inclination between them.
Referee Carlos Del Cerro Grande and his officials made no move during the experience, and Pogba immediately insisted after the match that he agreed with that decision.
This is what the Chelsea defender had to say;
”I should not come close with my mouth to his back, no doubt about it, it looks unfortunate. Paul and I have talked about it as friends after the final whistle.”
” I’m not crying for cards, yellow, red cards, because of such actions. He nibbled, I think, a little bit on me. But we have known each other for a long time. Paul Pogba also said..
‘ I told the referee and he takes decisions and he took a decision. It’s over. It was a great match for us, and I didn’t want him to be suspended because of such a situation. It was towards the end of the match. We hugged each other and that’s it.”
