He is known as the Iron Warrior for his head-butt equalizer and 20 stitches in his wound afterwards. In November this year, he was derided as a super idiot after losing a match with Japanese player Takuma Asano, who was suspected of mocking his opponent's running style and smile. He is Germany

On Wednesday (23), in the World Cup Group E match, with a one-goal deficit, Japan rallied to win 2-1 against 4-time allies Germany thanks to the contributions of their two reserves, Yasutoshi Don and Takuma Asano. In soccer, victory and defeat are commonplace, but after Japan's come-from-behind win, the most common messages on fan discussion forums were either apologizing and repenting to Japan's leader Mori Boichi, or criticizing Rudiger's move against Takuma Asano.
Takuma Asano, who came in after the 57th minute of the second half, tried to challenge Rudiger with his speed on the right side of the field. On one of the occasions, when Takuma failed in his attempt to pass Rudiger, the midfielder resolved the crisis by running with his legs straight and then showed a provocative smile. Takuma Asano did not get angry, but continued to challenge the opponent's defense, and finally succeeded in using his speed to press into the penalty area, and then narrowly smashed the gate guarded by Newa, a miraculous comeback victory.
After the match, Germany's management naturally could not escape the criticism from the football pundits, but the one who faced the most fierce criticism was Rudiger! Keisuke Honda, as Takuma Asano's predecessor, naturally stood up for his junior and criticized Rudiger's behavior as an idiot. As for Rudiger's predecessor, German footballer Xavier Schaemann, he said: "It's not right to make fun of your opponent during a match, because sometimes your opponent will return the favor twice over. You have to respect your opponents, you laugh at them at the moment, but it's the other player who laughs after the game.
However, there are many who believe that Rudiger has been misunderstood by the world, pointing out that Rudiger, whose mother is a Sierra Leonean, has always been bursting at the seams with concern for the children's problems in that West African country. Earlier Rudiger had promised to donate his appearance fee in the World Cup to pay for the operation of children with congenital disabilities, so such a great benefactor will not make ridicule or discriminate against the opponent's behavior?
Some people have also brought up Rudiger's old interview, saying that he likes to use a special running posture when he accelerates: "Maybe people will laugh at me, but I think I can run faster this way. But it doesn't matter even if people laugh at me, because soccer is all about performance, and I don't mind if the audience enjoys it.
As for one of the protagonists, Takuma Asano, there is no report on his response to the incident, but the news agency captured a number of photos of the Japanese players rushing towards Rudiger to celebrate at the end of the match, so what exactly did the German stalwart do? What did the German stalwart do?
