Although rather solid last season under the Parisian colors, Sergio Ramos was ultimately not retained by the capital club this summer. At the age of 37, the Spanish central defender waited a long time before choosing for his future. Courted and close to joining Turkey, he also had an XXL offer from Saudi Arabia who wanted to achieve a very nice move (yet another) on the transfer market. But that didn’t happen. Because Sergio Ramos had decided to live a new story with… Seville.
At the beginning of September, he decided to return to his training club which he had left 18 years ago. A return full of emotions and above all very relevant sportingly as the Andalusian club suffered defensively at the start of the season. And it didn’t take much time for the former Spanish international (180 caps) to establish himself as an indisputable starter. Preserved after a slight injury during his team’s big victory against Almeria (5-1), SR4 will make his return this Friday against an opponent he knows very well: FC Barcelona.

The desire to score against Barça
A very special match for him, the Real Madrid legend. “This type of opponent is an asset, even if we don’t want him to be. They are favorites for everything, in La Liga and the Champions League. This is what makes a victory against them an emotional bonus. We will try to give everything against them, even if it is in another stadium, they are the same players. They have verticality, they are fast on the wings and it will be a great match., he explained in particular at a press conference this Thursday. And inevitably, the idea of finding the net against the Blaugrana is running through his head. “That’s true, but I’m not worried about scoring. I prefer the team to have a good defensive line, keep a clean sheet and be solid in defense, so that the rest of the lines are comfortable with defending, which makes us grow more as a team.

Precisely growing the team is what the former Parisian defender managed to do since since his arrival, Sevilla has been undefeated (after losing its first 3 La Liga matches). Proof once again of the immediate impact of Sergio Ramos both on and off the field. “It has been a busy summer for the club, with players leaving and arriving. When it’s like this, you need to consolidate a group and start setting goals with the already closed group. As soon as I arrived, taking advantage of these two weeks to work in a group, everything was consolidated to obtain good results. This dynamic is starting to be good and we will try to maintain it. The season is very long and we are going to have fun, that’s for sure.” Barça is therefore warned. He will have to deal with a vengeful Sevilla FC and with a hungry Sergio Ramos.
