At 27, Sergio Ramos reports weekly challenge for defense : the defense of two of the most offensive teams in the world , namely Spain and Real Madrid. That said, this task seems to him like a glove. Double European champion and world champion with La Roja , Ramos is also integrated for the fourth time in his career the FIFA / FIFPro World XI , as the best player in the world at his post in 2013.
To FIFA.com , the experienced defender discusses the challenges facing the Real and Spain and the complex social situation facing his country.
Sergio Ramos, 2014 promises to be a very special year with several club competitions , and as icing on the cake , the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. This adds he still chili ?
Of course! This is a year that looks very beautiful with lots of challenges and goals. We'll have to try to give the maximum and go as far as possible with both the selection with Real Madrid, which is still in the race in three competitions ( La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League UEFA ) . We are forced to fight for these three titles. World will make the year even more special , it is clear. Another important date for me is that in May , I will be a father. What do you ask of life? I approach this 2014 with great enthusiasm .
This baby does it come with a trophy as a gift?
I hope so, yes ! Being world champions is a goal that we had the chance to live with all the Spanish people. This title has been very difficult to win and it will be very difficult also to defend. Not bad selections are evolving at a very high level and all want to beat us .
The draw has put you in the same group as the Netherlands , that you faced in the finals in South Africa 2010. How did you feel when the little ball was opened ?
Many memories . Over the years , we played against a lot of teams, but Holland will keep a special flavor due to the final, which was our first , with the key to our first world title. This is a team that always share a priori favorite because it has always had players of great quality. When you see in your group, you obviously think that fate could have been a little nicer to you , but at the same time, less reputable selections can also complicate your life and get you out of the tournament. We must respect everyone and to be world champion, you must be able to beat the best .
Let's talk about Brazil. The magnitude of the Brazilian victory in the final of the last Confederations Cup FIFA has surprised many people . What is your analysis of this match?
We must be realistic , they deserved this victory. On this point , we still have something to learn . We can not be arrived at better physically . They were fully developed and in addition they played well . With a man less ( Gerard Pique was sent off in the 68th minute ), the result became severe. But do not look for excuses . They were above us and deserved to win . What is good in football, there is always an opportunity to take his revenge. It is a perpetual source of motivation, even if you do not know when that opportunity will come . We'll have to be prepared for if we come to face Brazil again, he will have to find a parade to hurt them , as we did the year before .
In this meeting, you missed a penalty in the second period . What did you learn from this situation?
All this is decided at the time depends on the state of mind and confidence of each player . I wanted to take on this responsibility , but I have not had any luck . Any attempt to place the ball , I put it on the pole. The guard was not thrown because he knew a little of my background ( he smiles ) and I missed . These are things that happen . The biggest players have missed penalties. Do not fixate on errors. Obviously, all serve to gain experience but if tomorrow the opportunity represented , I would assume no problem.
Your career led you to defend in two teams extremely offensive vocation, like Real Madrid and Spain. Is it an additional challenge to participate so little game?
The key to the success of a team is the defensive stability. In this sense , the rear block must evolve very united with the block and the offensive midfield . It should be well coordinated , focused and do well all the covers. It is true that this can sometimes be a little frustrating, especially for defenders who like to participate in the offensive game and be close to the goal . We must learn to remember, but when your team wins, you are happy with the defensive work done . When you have very dangerous players before , if we, the supporters, we will give a helping hand , it becomes very hard to defend against us.
What has changed to Real Madrid since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti in comparison with the period José Mourinho ?
It would be unfair to make value judgments because each coach is a world unto itself . It has its own philosophy , style and character. Everyone is different . With Mourinho, there were good times and less good . Ancelotti is a coach who impresses with its curriculum , everything he has earned everything he knows about football . He was the player himself . He knows how to get under the skin of the footballer . In this sense, there is a real chemistry between him and the team . There is a good relationship between him and the group and I think this season , we can learn a lot with him. It can be a very successful year.
Is it difficult to adapt to a new coach after playing for several years under the orders of another?
Honestly no. All coaches want the same thing : to win and get the best performance from their players. If it is not easy to get along with everyone and manage a cloakroom where there are people around the world with different cultures and philosophies , we are all united by the same goal. It should not be a problem .
Since you 're talking about the wardrobe, are you still DJ cloakroom ?
I did it for several years ( laughs). Today , more young guns are like Marcelo or Jesé . Young people bring their music and it allows me to devote myself to something else. But it is certain that I like it when there is joy , good mood , peace and harmony in the dressing room . These things are also key to success .
How do you explain the great obsession that reigns at Real Madrid to win a tenth Champions League ?
Everyone knows that this competition has a special flavor . It is many years since our club has won more . I do not know if it's an obsession , but this test motivates us more than any other . Thinking in terms of obsession would be a mistake . We must go step by step, as in recent years : the last time we reached the semi -finals and we missed the final by a hair . It's complicated, but it's like that : Real Madrid is forced to fight for the trophy until the last breath .
To conclude , what are your wishes for the new year?
I do not have the habit of asking a lot but these days , given the situation facing our country, we must think of solidarity and adapt to reality. Hopefully health for all , have hope and dreams because no one can take away our happiness. Dreaming is free . You can not draw a cross on the situation. I have friends who are unemployed and others who have big problems. But with effort and sacrifice , we always end up the challenges that arise
