Rudiger: This period of rest has filled us with energy, and then we have to try to win

In an interview with the club's official media, Chelsea defender Rudiger talked about the previous period of rest. He said that after a period of rest, everyone is now very motivated.

Looking back on the Boxing Day fixtures, Rudiger said: "It was a tough time, but when you sign with this club, you know how busy the schedule is. Rest is always good, but personally, we can also move on if needed because you have to be vigilant and ready at all times. Even with COVID-19 and other situations, we were still training every day and preparing for the game, and of course it was difficult, but we survived. ”

Regarding the next game, Rudiger said: "First of all, in the FA Cup against Plymouth, we have work to do, we have to concentrate and get off to a good start. After that is the Club World Cup, we also need to be vigilant. Everybody got a good break during this time, so we're full of energy, you can see in training that everybody is motivated and all we need is game after game and try to win. ”
