Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger has come out to say that he is supporting Sierra Leone to win AFCON 2021. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Sierra Leone is his personal favourite at the tournament because he wants to remain connected to his parents’ home country.
Rudiger added that he’ll be cheering on Sierra Leone from London and he is currently in contact with one or two of their players through Instagram.
His words, “Of course, I’m cheering on Sierra Leone from London,”
“I am in regular contact with one or two of the players through Instagram. I actually get on very well with Kei Kamara.”
“I think the team’s mentality is really outstanding. They are all amazing characters who are going all in every game. The 0-0 against Algeria alone was a huge success – they can only win in the next few games as well.”
“They defended incredibly well and have a world-class goalkeeper in Mohamed Kamara. Luckily the boys don’t play again until Sunday, so I can watch it all on TV again after our game against Manchester City.”
On his goodwill, “Every child has dreams, but not all of them have the opportunity to pursue them – I want to change that!”
“Through football, I have been given the opportunity to help others and make the lives of these children and their families better. Seeing the children smiling in the photos also makes me happy.”
“I am very connected to my second home. We have more projects planned. My first visit to Sierra Leone five years ago taught me above all that everything that we supposedly call a ‘problem’ here in Europe is not really a problem at all.”
