Del Nido Carrasco, about Ramos: “He came with the illusion of a youth”

The signing of Sergio Ramos It raised a certain amount of dust in Sevilla. Many have already jumped ship, but other sevillistas have not forgotten the insults Camero gave to his old club during his time in real Madrid. But what is surprising is the change in the leaders’ discourse. Both presidents jose castrosuch as the vice president and sports director, Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco and Victor Ortarespectively, were denied whenever they were asked what Sergio Ramos is an option.

now, Del Nido Carrasco the change in the model needs to be explained. “In the management committee, at the beginning of the summer, we set a policy to return to our usual business model: young, unknown players, with the capacity for additional value… and he does not fit in those parameters because of his seniority, despite the fact that It is very good. I was the first to say that there is no possibility, I said it from conviction. The president and Víctor Orta also said it. It was marked by the Committee as a parameter . It changed as the market developed, we had. The first three results were bad, apart from the Super Cup, and some doubts about the physical condition of some players, with more than the salary limit, we appreciate in all incorporation of Soumaré, Mariano and Sergio Ramos. At that time in the market it was necessary to change those parameters and we chose him. We all made a videoconference and it was like music to his ears and with all the desire to satisfy him and remove his thorn, we quickly convinced each other that this was the best thing for Sevilla FC”, commented the vice president.

Del Nido Carrasco continued his argument and defense upon the arrival of Sergio Ramos after the first message from the club that this is not an option: “The first to say that this is not an option is me, from belief. Not because I am not a candidate, but because of the parameters that have been set. We always say what we believe that we have to say because that’s what was decided. This is football. If I say now that the squad is very good and in the winter we have to sell or sign, it doesn’t mean that I’m not convinced by it. It’s unfair to focus on those criticisms to Víctor Orta because I was the first to say that message and many motives and reasons changed to make this decision. We have a young defense and Sergio’s experience and ambition will help us so that Nianzou, Kike Salas or Gattoni can grow in their side. Víctor’s decision is unfair because he always speaks as the spokesperson of the Committee. In fact, we appreciate the option we opposed, but if it is good for Sevilla, we cannot be slaves to our words. It is appropriate and good for the club to change our initial opinion”.

“Sergio gave a lot to give back. When we met him, he was overflowing with joy, enthusiasm, ambition… He was like a young man who wanted to return. He wanted to reconcile. The first thing he did was ask of apologizing for mistakes like we all made in our lives. He liked the idea of ​​Víctor and the coach and us, the president and me. We are all like motorcycles for the return of Sergio Ramos to the club”, he concluded.
