«We wanted to have Endrick take the fifth, but decided that Rudiger was more focused. We talked about this. I told Endrick that I was going to put him fifth, and he wasn't very happy. And I said: 'Wait, wait'. We were choosing between Endrick and Rudiger. I saw Endrick’s face, and we went with Rudiger,» Ancelotti quoted by AS.
