Leaving Paris Saint-Germain, double reigning European champion, is not easy. But for now, things are going pretty well for Luis Enrique’s two former luxury replacements, Kang-in Lee and Gonçalo Ramos. The South Korean scored against Malaga (2-0) for his big return to La Liga in the Atlético de Madrid jersey, while the Portuguese found the fault in a friendly match against Manchester United (4-2).
Good impressions that will have to be confirmed over time, but in Milan, the choice to bet €74 million on Ramos should finally put an end to the curse of number 9. A curse in which the main interested party does not really believe. “The curse of number 9? I don’t believe in those things, I only believe in work. Maybe I’m more “cursed” than the number, we’ll see (laughs)”he confided during an interview with the official channel of the Lombard club. After 45 goals and 10 assists in 131 matches played with PSG, Ramos will try to make a name for himself with the Rossoneri, where he aspires to finally find a starting place.
A special club among the Ramos
Besides, the Lusitanian did not hesitate for long. “When I learned that there was an opportunity to come here, I didn’t hesitate for a second: it was the right choice. For me, it was clear from the first moment: I wanted to be here and be part of this project. I’m at one of the most important clubs in the world, and for me it’s even more special because it was my father’s favorite team. So that’s why it’s special. There will definitely be pressure. Without a strong mentality, it’s easy to get discouraged, but I’m going to work on that to be ready in any circumstance. If I am mentally strong, everything will be fine. I have confidence in myself and my mentality. In the end, the important thing is to prepare and adopt this attitude”he confided, before concluding.
“I found a fantastic group. I’m really happy to be able to work with them. These first weeks have gone well, I can’t wait for the championship to start. I’m a striker who relies on instinct, I try to make the right decisions and read the game well. It’s demanding, but sometimes it’s about pure instinct: being in the right place at the right time. I hope everyone can see it on the ground. I want to win as many trophies as possible and I also hope to score a lot of goals. » See you on Sunday August 23 for the big debut of Gonçalo Ramos in Serie A on the pitch at Torino.
