After six months of waiting, Sergio Ramos was finally able to make his debut at the Parc des Princes against PSG last Saturday. He did it against Brest, in the match corresponding to matchday 21 of Ligue 1. The camero entered the field of play in the 72nd minute for Ángel Di María and, although he was not required, he received the fury and applause from the stands of the Parc des Princes every time he touched the ball.
According to Le Parisien, several of Ramos’ teammates are surprised by what the Spanish international is capable of doing in training. After several uncomfortable months due to injuries, the player has been able to chain a month without discomfort and is now ready to compete at the highest level. However, Pochettino remains cautious and did not want to give him the starting job against Brest, aware that he cannot be forced a month before the tie against Real Madrid.
In Paris, Ramos’ situation changes with the passing of days. From his eternal injury, which has practically prevented him from playing, he has come to be received almost like a ‘Messiah’ who can lead the PSG defense.
Eric Rabesandratana, commentator for French television, assured that “you can tell that people are waiting. And again, there he was on the bench. Ramos has a lot to contribute to this team in terms of character, he is a natural leader, a important support for the defense. He exudes serenity and communication in a defense that sometimes lacks it. With Ramos, I think all the boys will improve.”
Donnarumma also referred to Ramos after the match, assuring that “it is important that he is present, he can be of great help to us, particularly thanks to his great experience. He can be an important element for the Champions League game in February against Real Madrid” . Precisely thinking about that tie, Rabesandratana assured: “Who but Ramos knows Benzema better? I used to play with him, I saw him in training. He knows the boys who will be in front of him and that can help when you have a situation to handle. Sometimes that is not enough, but it is an advantage to know the club. He was captain of Real, of course he will be one more reinforcement”
PSG, meanwhile, have four games (Reims, Nice, Lille and Rennes) before the tie against the Whites. LThe ownership of Ramos is not yet confirmed, since, to date, the starting duo of central defenders is formed by Marquinhos and Kimpembe. The Andalusian center-back, however, remains optimistic for the upcoming games and will try to turn the situation around in Paris.
