The Almighty Sergio Ramos Appreciation Thread

Some scientific knowledge wasn't available at the time of other defenders...
Neither was Marcelo on the left back with half of football field behind their back to defend. Neither was a responsibility to play-make out of pressure and start the attacks. Neither was a weakened offside rule.
Neither was Cristiano to score clutch goals, neither they had Capello, Mourinho, Carlo and Zidane as their coaches. Neither is any of them responsible for natural talent baseline.
So what?

Sergio beats other defender in all relevant areas: defending, attacking, leading the team, longevity, trophies.

 

He is the best player of this generation for Madrid. Just a special player.

 

A defender with 100 goals. Damn son...What a gladiator.

 

Sergio Ramos 🇪🇸 has 176 caps for Spain, equalling Gianluigi Buffon’s 🇮🇹 record for international appearances by a European player.

Dude is breaking records left and right...

 

If I am correct, Ramos can break the 184 cap record at the Euro 2021. Spain has five matches scheduled, but I supposed that Spain will add friendlies between November and the Finals of Euro 2020. I supposed at least two matches. So he might be very close at the end of round one of the Finals. Spain should at least make it the round of 16.

 

It is insane that a player is this good for so long. He's 34, and perhaps he will retire from the NT after Euros, but I can see him playing at a decent level for at least 2-3 more years. I just hope he plays when the Bernabeu is reopened. I want to be there for that 1st match and I want Ramos to play.

 

Unless there's some sort of fallout with the board I don't see Ramos going anywhere anytime soon. He has Ronaldo-like dedication to his body. Ramos' ability to read the game will enable him to play longer. I'm confident he's a starter here the next 3 years if he wants to be.

 

You can be dedicated to your body all you want. Age is still age.

Sad but true

 

Tom Brady thinks you're wrong.

 

for sure but the player’s position plays a big role. History shows CBs and GKs tend to have a longer shelf life.

 

Tom Brady doesn't rely in athleticism.

Lebron James would be a better example even though he is much younger than Brady

 

no, but he gets 300lbs dudes hit him almost every week. got some strong old bones.

 

Why did you even bother to respond lol

 

Not if PSG is offering him 500K per week and he expects us to match it.

 

The club is studying the need for another paycut in 2021. Maybe thats stalling new contracts.

 

If we're studying the need for anothet paycut I don't know how we can splash some absurd amount on Mbappe without having issues

 

I think he said that he would retire after the WC Finals. He isn't going to step away without breaking that record. CR7 is actually 8 caps away from Ramos.

 

This could be a big problem. Really any signings at this point even in the summer hinge on some form of normal life returning by then. If some of the experts are right with end of 2021 when that starts to happen we’re possibly squeezing whatever we can with the current squad.

 

🇪🇸 With his 177th cap for Spain tonight, Sergio Ramos becomes the most capped European player of all time!

This is an exaggeration. We can't sign Mbappe but we could make other smaller smarter buys.

Also if we don't people should forget about us winning.
