Real Madrid-EU against Bayern Munich, center Rudiger has the important task of freezing Halikani. He won in two rounds against Manchester City striker Aynin Chalainte. "Invisible", Rudiger explained that he will play the burying game "psychological warfare" when he meets the top striker again in this battle.
Rudiger, 31, has been the centerpiece of Real Madrid's backline this year. Knocked out Manchester City in the quarterfinals and not only froze Aynin Chalant, but also fired in a 12-yard winning goal. His confidence is bursting. Against top strikers, he will meet a stronger force:- "Chalante is a beast, he was born to be a goal machine, but I was born to be a goal machine, and when people die on me, I become stronger."
Rudiger had played for five years in the fight against Halikani and said before the fight, "Halikani and Charante are in the same category and I'm looking forward to the same fight". Rudiger said that apart from the technical competition, the mental battle is also killing him: 'Mental battle is part of the game and part of my game. Sometimes it will go well, sometimes it might not work out, but I still do it."
