"If nothing changes, if kids don't get good education and parenting, we'll lose." — Antonio Rudiger

I left Germany early to find myself, to find a new Toni. Learning different languages, seeing different cultures, this is also part of it. Not only the football but also the life challenge.

When Tuchel came in as manager and gave me a chance, it was a new life for me. Actually, he did something right away that I think a lot of managers could learn from. It had nothing to do with tactics. He just came up to me and he said, 'Toni, tell me about yourself.'

To people outside it's always more important who scores the goals. If you do an amazing block as a defender which saves a goal, maybe that will be remembered. But nothing else.
