Sunday 15-02-2026
The newspaper 'Marca' reported that Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger was the first to offer psychological support to his young teammate Dean Haussen after the penalty he caused during the match against Real Sociedad on Saturday in La Liga.

According to the newspaper, after the moment Sociedad scored the equalizing goal, Rüdiger immediately approached Haussen, shook his hand, and spoke to him, delivering a clear message: 'It's okay... let's keep going.'

Throughout the match, the German defender continued to play the role of a leader on the field, ensuring to guide Haussen, correct his positioning, and continuously encourage him, while closely monitoring him to provide confidence and reassurance.

When the team took the lead again, the German defender did not join the rest of his teammates in celebration but instead went directly to Haussen to motivate him and boost his morale, in a gesture that reflected leadership and responsibility.

According to the report, Rüdiger has been supportive of the young player since his arrival at the team, helping him integrate into the locker room, introducing him to the demands of playing for Real Madrid, and now repeating this role during what is considered the most challenging phase of the player's career.

What Rüdiger did confirms that psychological support and leadership are essential elements in maintaining the stability of young players, a role the German defender performs with great seriousness both on and off the field.
