Ramos, on his retirement from the National Team: “The figure is my head”

Sergio Ramos has chatted with the Federation, in the preview of the Nations League match against Germany. In the first instance, the central was in charge of accompanying Luis Enrique to the media. It's more, the Selection had announced that it was him. Finally, the one from Beds canceled his appearance and was replaced by Rodri. The reasons are not known, although it could be due to his situation with Real Madrid and the renewal. Even so, after his record of international appearances (177) he wanted to be the star of the video published on social networks.

At 34, Ramos is still in great shape and it is even said that he may be living the best months of his sports career. Despite his identity card, the central does not think, much less, of leaving the National Team: “The figure is my head. Until the physical endures me and, above all, my head. As long as I continue to maintain that joy and that desire and illusion of wanting to continue coming, wearing my shirt, representing my country. As long as that remains intact, I will continue. My grandfather told me not to stop putting the daily brick. This is a matter of perseverance and perseverance, of being every day“.

Asked about the next penalty, the defender did not hesitate: “I will shoot it, of course. If I didn't approach it that way, I would stop being me.. Everything is a state of mind, of confidence in myself. If the moment came and I did not feel that confidence in myself, I would leave it to a partner. It is a unique match. We are risking being in the Final Four and what better way than to depend on us. It is a unique opportunity to show what we want to achieve and where we want to go. “

The Real Madrid player was also very happy to return home, to Seville, to play one of the most important matches in the recent history of the National Team: “Coming home is a tremendous joy. Stepping on Seville changes my state of spirit, a greater joy enters me than I always have. Overcoming a record with my National Team and a legend like Buffon is very gratifying after so many years, so much effort, so much sacrifice … In the end, you end up collecting that reward. I've spent many hours running around here. Hours of silence, of solitude, with my faithful people. You never imagine getting that high. “
