MADRID, 14 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish defender Sergio Ramos acknowledges that it was “a very big change” to leave Real Madrid to head towards French Paris Saint-Germain, where “at the beginning” he also had to deal with the fact that “everything went wrong”, which made him ” doubt” about whether he had made the right decision.

“Leaving Real Madrid was, obviously, a very big change. I won a lot with Real Madrid, but I thought it was a good opportunity to change airs and to try to help a team like PSG,” Sergio Ramos said in an interview. to UEFA published this Tuesday.

The one from Camas does not hide that “at first everything was very difficult.” “You have to find a home and settle down, especially when you come with a family, in my case with four children. The process was a bit hard at first, but everything has gone well,” he remarked.

In addition, the Andalusian regrets that when he signed for PSG “everything went wrong”. “I got injured, it was hard for me to recover and adapt to the new system, the new team and the new coach, you start to doubt if you have done the right thing or not. However, my career has always been defined by perseverance, perseverance and dedication. hard work. It’s about continuing to fight because that’s what will give meaning to things that happen in the future,” he said.

Now, the center back of the Parisian team is in a dressing room with “many stars” and with “some of the best players in the world”, although he warns that “to win you have to unite and all row in the same direction”.

“If a team ends up winning, it is because they have left behind their personal egos. The goal this season is to unite all of us, provide the best version of ourselves and maintain balance as a team. That is more important than any star we may have in our ranks,” he added, stressing that “the best teams don’t always win.

And on a personal level, he is where he wanted, “in a club that is very hungry to win the Champions League.” “I want to make the most of what remains of my career to try to win this competition again,” stressed the former Real Madrid defender, who knows that “you can’t live from the past.”

Finally, Ramos praised his current coach, Christophe Galtier, “a coach who never lies, who tells you to your face.” “That, for me, is very important. He is also a good coach, he has won with teams before PSG and he has acquired experience that he is transferring to the squad,” he explained.
