sex confession! Ramos’ wife causes a stir
A farewell with a bland aftertaste: Sergio Ramos officially and compulsorily announces his resignation from the Spanish national team. However, the central defender does not seem to agree entirely with the decision and is critical – and he is by no means alone.
The end of an era. For a long time, Sergio Ramos was an integral part of the Spanish national team. The centre-back has won numerous trophies and has worn a total of 180 La Roja jerseys, overtaking Iker Casillas as the all-time record player. Now it should be over.
The 36-year-old announced his retirement from the Spanish national team on social media: “The time has come, the time to say goodbye to the national team, our beloved and exciting Roja,” wrote Ramos Instagram.
However, his parting words are not entirely positive, Ramos would have wanted to decide his departure himself, as he says in his statement: “It is with great regret that this is the end of a journey that I had hoped would last longer and with a better taste in your mouth would end up on par with all the successes we have achieved with our national team.”
Louis de la Fuente, the new coach of the Spanish national teaminformed Ramos during a phone call that the central defender was no longer part of the plan, regardless of his upcoming performances, the PSG star continues.
The ex-Madrilenian also takes a stand on the rumors circulating online that his advanced age is the supposed reason for his departure from the national team and complains about the lack of recognition: “Being young or less young is neither a virtue nor a flaw , it’s just a passing trait, not necessarily related to performance or ability.”
Ramos confidants speak out
Ramos received encouragement from those closest to him.
His brother René Ramos harshly criticized the Spanish national coach’s decision on social media, which “no one deserves with this hunger, desire and performance.” Sergio Ramos is the greatest when it comes to saying things, expressing his opinion and share his feelings.
Sergio Ramos’ wife Pilar Rubio also sided with her husband, describing him as “one of the finest Spanish footballers ever produced and an example of professionalism, passion and dedication.”
“Such an ending is not what you deserve,” the presenter tweeted.
With Marcelo, a former Real comrade-in-arms said about Ramos-Aus in the Spanish selection: “You deserve another place in your national team, but we all know how great you are.”
For the Brazilian, who is now lacing his shoes for Olympiacos Piraeus, the Ramos end for La Furia Roja is a bitter loss. “I’m sure you could have given your country even more.”
Ramos: admiration and envy for Messi and Co.
With admiration and envy, the Spaniard looks at Modric, who is in the old age of football, Messi and Pepe: “The essence, the tradition, the values, the meritocracy and justice in football. Unfortunately, that won’t be the case for me because football isn’t always fair and football is never just football,” says the 2010 World Champion.
Despite the disappointment of leaving the Spanish national team, Ramos will continue to follow La Roja games as a loyal spectator: “I will continue to cheer on my country from home, with the feeling of a privileged person who has proudly represented it 180 times . My heartfelt thanks go to everyone who always believed in me!”
In 2005, Ramos made his debut for the Spanish national team. In the March 2021 had the Spaniard in the World Cup qualifier played his last game.
