Kylian Mbappe reveals what Antonio Rudiger is really like at Real Madrid Although the summer was overshadowed by the arrival of several glittering new names into the Real Madrid team, one player for whom this time was also decisive was the center-back Antonio Rudiger. Like Dani Carvajal and David Alaba, the German defender was also set to run out of his contract during the summer, and things were looking bleak for him for most part of the last season as he struggled with injuries. However, unlike these two players, the Merengues decided to give him a one-year extension , and he can prove to be a decisive player for Jose Mourinho this season. This is not only because of the unique skills that he brings on the pitch, but also because of his role in the locker room. Being one of the most experienced players in the team, he is a highly respected player, while it is also clear that the players also love him. As Diario AS has reported, one of these players, Kylian Mbappe, talked about Rudiger and his relationship with his teammates as he appeared in a recent interview. The Frenchman admitted that the German often comes off as peculiar, but is a very kind person behind the scenes: “I think many fans think he is a little crazy. But that is his way of playing. Antonio is the best example of why you should not judge people solely by how they behave on the pitch. Of course, he is crazy on the pitch, because of the way he goes into challenges and behaves. But in the dressing room, he is completely different. He is a kind and attentive person.” There is no doubt that Antonio Rudiger has a very unique personality, and usually comes off as a ferocious player on the field. However, as Kylian Mbappe highlighted, he is a kind and affable person behind the scenes, something that has also been confirmed by some of the video clips coming out on social media. Furthermore, his leadership and experience would also be needed as Real Madrid once again look to navigate through a difficult spell after the derby defeat.
