His return to Seville, almost 20 years after his departure for Madrid, caused a lot of talk. Good, for many football fans who welcomed this choice of the heart, while infinitely higher salaries awaited him in Saudi Arabia or even in Turkey. Badly, for certain Seville supporters who did not digest his departure at the time and certain behaviors of the player during duels between Real Madrid and their favorite club. He still received a very warm welcome from Sanchez Pizjuan for his presentation last week.
It must also be said that the presence of Sergio Ramos in José Luis Mendilibar’s squad is not too much, since the Sevillians got off to a very poor start to the La Liga season. Three defeats in as many matches and a solitary bottom place rather deserved given the content offered during the matches. Clearly, the arrival of the emblematic ex-captain of Real Madrid will do good. The team has problems at the back, and Nemanja Gudelj, midfielder, is particularly forced to help out in the hinge.
Ramos is hot!
And as explained A.S., the player arrives in good shape. Club sources explain to the newspaper that the Spaniard is in ideal physical condition, and above all, he displays limitless motivation. While the Sevillian squad had days off recently, Ramos continued to train to start as quickly as possible under the orders of his new coach. “With the intensity he brings, it seems like he’s an U19 player rather than a 37-year-old star who has already proven himself”we tell the media.
In addition to defensive qualities that no longer need to be presented, Ramos will bring a lot of experience to a fairly young defense, in which we find in particular Loïc Badé (23 years old) and Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi (21 years old). We don’t yet know when he will start, but it is possible that he will already be there this Sunday, against Las Palmas, another club which is at the bottom of the table. He could thus wear the white and red tunic for the first time since August 2005…
