Defender of the German national team Antonio Rudiger commented on the performance at the upcoming World Cup.

June 17, the German team starts at the World Cup match against the team of Mexico.

"It's just amazing - to compete in the World Cup. I remember the year 2006, when Germany hosted the World Cup, and how the country then was a fan of the national team and lived football. And although I was still a child, it was clear that the formation and development of German football began to gain momentum. Not surprisingly, the team successfully competed in the championships and achieved success by becoming the world champions in 2014. Previous achievements motivate us and give us strength, and, of course, in Russia we want to repeat this success, "- quotes Rudiger official site Chelsea.

"I remember how Mario Getz scored the winning goal in the finals of 2014, I remember how I said to myself:" I want to be a part of this team, I want to experience the same emotions ".

I still want this, nothing has changed, and whenever I play football, I try to give my best and succeed ".

"To put on the form of his team is always pleasant. I'm very proud that I'm playing for such a strong team as the German team, it's an honor for me to go on the field with these players. As in Chelsea, we have a great team, and we get along wonderfully in the locker room. I hope we can prove ourselves at this World Cup, although, of course, we have strong rivals, and it will not be easy ".
