This is a great first and it may not be trivial as the player is taking up more and more space in the PSG locker room. For the first time since joining the club, Sergio Ramos appeared at a press conference before a Champions League match. Plagued by injuries last season, the Spaniard is living again in Paris. He is even now the lucky charm of Paris-Saint-Germain.
Sergio Ramos hasn’t lost any of his first 30 games for PSG in all competitions. Every time he is on the pitch, PSG does not lose and that’s good, the Spanish international defender is expected as a starter tomorrow night against Juventus Turin (9 p.m.).
“I prefer to play four behind”
Wide smile, Sergio Ramos answered all questions. From the top of his 20-year career, he did not tremble on questions that evoked the national team “I hope to have the opportunity to play this World Cup”his agreement with Messi “We want to win with PSG” and on his return to the front of the stage “Last season was tough. I think I have a few years left at the highest level in football.”
Placed next to Christophe Galtier for this press point before the match against Juventus Turin, Sergio Ramos also sent a message to his coach. A technician who uses two game systems this season, one with three defenders and the other with four. Clearly, the Spaniard has a preference:
Playing three or four in defense does not depend on us players, the “Mister” has chosen, it also depends on the opponent. I played four years, personally I prefer, but I adapt. And I believe that the great teams must know how to play in all systems.
The eye of our consultant
Eric Rabesandratana, former captain of PSG, is a consultant for France Bleu Paris. The former defender really appreciates Sergio Ramos’ aura on the pitch:
He brings real experience in the field. I’m not going to redo his CV for you, but when he plays he has real communication on the pitch. He observes a lot what is happening around him, he is always well placed, and as he communicates well with his teammates, he reassures. Basically, he allows his teammates to play better and be more serene.
To explain why Sergio Ramos never loses with PSG, our consultant never mentions luck. No, to hear him, the former Madrid player has something more “there is an additional technical input in his passes and in his game intelligence. I find that when he plays forward, when he gives the ball in between to Messi, Neymar or Mbappé or when he manages to jump lines, he makes real differences. He brings a technical palette which, when he plays, makes it possible to win matches.”
