Ruediger himself still has one game left at Chelsea, against Watford this weekend. Ahead of the match, the 29-year-old defender confirmed his departure in a letter.
In his column in the Players Tribune, Antonio Ruediger make a very touching farewell. He talked a lot about his colleagues at Chelseato the difficult situation he was then able to face in London.
Ruediger initially told how the figure of N’Golo Kante, who was considered so unpretentious. “Of course, players always joke with him about it [mobil mini cooper]but I told you, he was so polite that he just told you what you wanted to hear, “he said.
Ruediger then told how difficult times were before the arrival of Thomas Tuchel, the manager who trusted him last season until now. Together with Tuchel, Ruediger could reclaim his place at centre-back, and help the Blues win the Champions League, European Super Cup and Club World Cup.
“When Tuchel came in as manager and gave me a chance, it was like a new life for me. He did the right thing, and I think a lot of managers have to learn about that,” he said.
At the end of his writing, Ruediger emphasized that he would always put Chelsea in his heart. The German national team player insists Chelsea gave him a new life.
“Chelsea will always be in my heart. London will always be my home. I came to Siji alone, now I have a beautiful wife and two children,” he said.
“I also have a brother named Kova [Mateo Kovacic]. I have the FA Cup, the Europa League and the Champions League medal. And don’t forget, I have a lot of memories that will be stored forever,” wrote Antonio Ruediger.
