A mysterious player returns to our website on a journey to the past of his childhood. Our protagonist is a living legend of world football. He is about to reach 100 goals with his current team and has scored another 23 with his selection. He is also the player who has defended the shirt of his national team the most times.
He has only played on two teams in his entire career. In fact, He left the team from which he was formed very young. The last goal he scored for that club in which he grew up was precisely against the club for which he later signed and his current coach was an exceptional witness to that goal.
We are talking about goals … but we were playing the distraction. Why our protagonist is a scorer, but he does not play as a forward. It is defense and this week has been selected by the magazine France Football as one of the 10 best centrals in history. Surely you are already fine-tuning your shot, right?
In his record lor you have won everything: the League and the Cup of your country, the Champions League, the World Cup, the European Championship …. Maybe I miss having been able to lift the Europa League …
Yes, the protagonist of our riddle today is:
Effectively, Sergio Ramos.
Sevilla responded to a tweet from the Real Madrid account in English in which it showed the captain in his presentation as a Madrid player and his look current. “How it started, how is it now”, they wrote in the white networks. The Seville club, also on its account in English, responded with “how it really started” with an image already in the Sevilla first team and Ramos replied with this photo as a child.
And we clarify some things. Ramos scored two goals in the league with Sevilla. The last one went to Real Madrid. It was a long foul that Renato left Sergio Ramos and he turned into an unstoppable missile for Casillas. Zidane was next to Beckham at the barrier.
Ramos is two goals away from reaching 100 with Real Madrid and three games away from reaching 500 matches in the First Division. With Wednesday's friendly against Portugal has already added 173 international appearances for Spain and he is just 12 short of breaking the record held by Egyptian Ahmed Hassan, who played 184 between 1995 and 2012.
In his record are: 1 World Cup, 2 European Cups, 4 Champions, 5 Leagues, 2 King's Cups, 4 Spanish Super Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 4 Club World Cups and 1 European Under-19 Championship.
