Sergio Ramos has shocked the entire football world by announcing his retirement from international football after speaking to Louis of Source where he reveals that he doesn’t depend on him.
“With great regret, this is the end of a journey that I hope will be longer and that it will end with a better taste in the mouth, which is equal to all the successes we have achieved with our Red. I humbly believe that this trip deserves to be ended for a personal decision or because my performance is not as it should be in our National Team, but not for a matter of age or other reasons that, after hearing the these, I felt”, began his statement Sergio Ramos, who will extend his dart towards Pula or Luis de la Fuente, gave as an example three football players who still play for their countries despite their seniority. But… who does Ramos compare himself to? This is:
1
Leo Messi
PSG/Argentina
Who would have thought that Leo Messi would be one of the examples that Sergio Ramos would set after feeling that he was not treated fairly. After being rivals for a long time, the Spaniard and the Argentine are now together at PSG and friends. Unlike Camas, Messi is not only present in Argentina, but at the age of 35 he is still the absolute leader of the team that won the world championship in Qatar a few months ago.
2
Luka Modric
Madrid/Croatia
Another good example, and also for a former teammate, used by Sergio Ramos is that of Luka Modric. And it is the Croatian, 37 years old, unless he makes a statement like the Spaniard, he is still there for Zlatko Dalic. It became clear at the World Cup in Qatar, where Messi frustrated his plans but despite this he played with a class. The decision to continue or not is in your hands.
3
Pepe
Porto/Portugal
If anyone has survived completely and who is an example that seniority is nothing more than a number, it is undoubtedly Pepe. Many years ago the Portuguese shared the axis of defense with Ramos but his level, even at 39, is still impressive. So he continues with Portugal, where he is the starter and captain, and so far there is no news that this will change.
