Lejeune confronted Rudiger and told it 5 days late: “What he said to me was very serious”
One of the actions that caught the attention of Real Madrid-Rayo Vallecano is, without a doubt, the clash between Antonio Rüdiger and Florian Lejeune that ended with a yellow card for both.
The match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano did not end well for a white footballer . In addition to the draw, Antonio Rüdiger received his fifth yellow card so far in the League, a situation that disqualifies him from being called up against Valencia. The German ’22’ took this sanction after a furious confrontation and confrontation with Florian Lejeune .
The crossing between both defenders was long overdue, since Lejeune was in charge of marking Rüdiger on corner kicks in favor of Real Madrid . Already in the first minutes of the match, the referee had to intervene to separate the players and warn them that he was going to be aware of their actions throughout the match. This warning was of little use .
During the final minutes, Real Madrid focused on attacking, looking for the winning goal that never came . In one of these attempts, the white club got a corner that Rüdiger and Lejeune delayed by facing each other. The German central defender went to the match proposed by the Rayista defender, giving rise to a somewhat implausible image . But according to Lejeune, what happened in that encounter was not just gestures .
According to the footballer from ‘La Franja’, Antonio Rüdiger had some words with an important negative charge towards him . This is what he reveals in a few brief statements to Mundo Deportivo : “It is true that I had a fight with Rüdiger but in the end I did not want to make a controversy because what he said to me has not been seen but it was quite serious. He later apologized in the tunnel. “but it doesn’t matter. In the end they are things that happen but you can’t say that to a teammate . “
Despite having cited the moment in which he confronted Rüdiger, Florian Lejeune continues to leave unknown the words that the Real Madrid footballer addressed to him during their confrontation. Be that as it may, the action ended with a yellow card for both of them, which does more ‘damage’ to Real Madrid than to Lejeune or Rayo Vallecano himself: Francisco will be able to count on the French central defender for the match against Girona .
