Rudi, as a 65 yr old man, i have seen many changes in Football, so many players come and go, so many players, who just excited me so much, and you Sir, for me, have been the best defender who can be relied on, with such energy, and determination to be the first to the ball and to get another attack underway. Your focus is 1000% positive, and your love of Chelsea, and life, is Totally beautiful to see. What you share with us all in this video today, does not surprise me at all. It comes from one of the most incredible players to ever grace English Football, and for that Rudi, i thank you so much, and hope your future holds some very good moments for you and your family/Team. Maybe one day, you will come back as a Coach to Chelsea? Stay safe Rudi, God bless you!!!
