The German centre-back was rumoured to be a disruptive presence in the Chelsea squad under Frank Lampard.
Azpilicueta, however, denied the claims that he and Rudiger clashed with each other.
He admits that they had some ‘discussions’ but they were not out of ordinary for football players.
“With Toni, we didn’t have an issue and we have been working together for a few years,” Cesar Azpilicueta said about his relationship with Antonio Rudiger in the wake of recent controversies in the press, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
“That news from outside, we’re not sure so that’s why Tammy and myself we both tweeted.
“Everything is fine and I can say that didn’t happen. We didn’t have any issues and we don’t have. We always work together. As other players, we have sometimes our discussions, normal in football.
“When results are not going well, everybody has more tension around but nothing further than this.
“Normal footballers like normal workers in their offices or with other jobs with pressure who have to deliver and nothing further than this. There is not an issue, we are so committed.”
Earlier this week, it was reported that Rudiger had clashed several times with the captain who tried to ease the tensions in the team.
Those reports painted the German centre-back as a disruptive force in the squad, something that some of his teammates have fiercely denied.
