Dietmar Hamann criticized Antonio Rüdiger.
In the match of the 1st round of the 2022 World Cup group stage, Germany sensationally lost to Japan (1:2).
In the 64th minute, the defender of Real Madrid and the German national team fought on the flank for the ball with the Japanese midfielder Takuma Asano. Suddenly Rüdiger began to run with his knees high, as if mocking the Japanese. Immediately after that, Rudiger`s laughter hit the frame. At that point, Germany was leading 1-0.
You can`t belittle your opponent [in this way] because it will always backfire on you at some point.
I think it was very unprofessional. It was inappropriate. Arrogant. He laughed then, now only one team is laughing.
The spirit of the game is to respect the rivalry, to respect your opponent. And he didn`t. I have no explanation or justification for this, ” said the ex-German international.
