It is inexhaustible. At the age of 37, the former PSG central defender has chosen to return to his training club this summer. And very quickly, he brought all his experience to the Andalusian team. With 3 La Liga matches and 3 Champions League games under his belt, the Spaniard has shown that he is up to par both physically and technically. For example, he performed very well against Real Madrid last weekend (1-1). Quite naturally, the question of a return to selection arises. And this while this summer, it did not seem to be on the table…
If it is true that La Roja has finally found a typical hinge with this Franco-Spanish duo composed of Robin Le Normand and Aymeric Laporte, Sergio Ramos is an institution on the other side of the Pyrenees. Last February, the former captain of Real Madrid decided to retire internationally, ending a superb epic with La Roja, playing 180 matches with his country. The one who has not played with Spain since March 2021 has publicly admitted that he could consider returning.
He wants to come back!
“Everyone knows I would like to come back. But it doesn’t depend on me. I always have hope. It’s something I’m thinking about, but other people have to decide. I give everything for my team, Sevilla, to prove my level. Little by little, I feel better and better, I take some playing time and I get back into my best shape.”, launched the player after his team’s defeat against Arsenal (2-1) on Tuesday evening. This is the first time that he has publicly opened the door to a return, he who would have experienced some differences with Luis Enrique, and who was not subsequently called by the new coach Luis de la Fuente.
José María Del Nido Carrasco, vice-president of the La Liga club, also spoke about the Ramos case: “he has a crazy desire to come back. He’s in great shape, it’s a successful bet to have brought him back, at all levels”. Luis de la Fuente will give his list in three weeks, while La Roja must face Cyprus and Georgia on November 16 and 19. All of Spain will be scrutinizing this list very closely…
