Chance Quote by Antonio Rudiger
“When Tuchel came in as manager and gave me a chance, it was a new life for me. Actually, he did something right away that I think a lot of managers could learn from. It had nothing to do with tactics. He just came up to me and he said, 'Toni, tell me about yourself.'”
