Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger recalled his childhood in Berlin, where he lived in the Neukölln district.
Antonio Rudiger, Getty Images— I grew up in a disadvantaged area of Berlin. Of course, it took quite a toll on me. I had six brothers, we had very little money. There were a lot of refugees in our area. When I was a kid, I was constantly fighting in the street, it was normal. After all, only the strongest survived in that area. And that's what affected me. I stay out of trouble, it's not in my DNA. That's why my mom calls me a soldier! I don't like losing, it's hard for me to accept it, said Antonio Rüdiger.
It should be added that the Neukölln area is known for the fact that many refugees live there. After the dismantling of the Berlin Wall, the district's isolation disappeared, but the district continues to be considered a disadvantage among Berliners.
