Ex-Liverpool manager Questions Real Madrid Legend: “Is He Really A Good Guy?”

Real Madrid’s legacy would look quite different without Sergio Ramos, a player regarded as one of the greatest in the club’s history. As captain, he led a team that dominated world football over the past decade, showcasing his skills as a defender and a strategist on the field. However, some remember him more for his physicality and controversial tactics, earning him a reputation as a ‘Master of the Dark Arts.’

Klopp Questions Ramos’s Character

In a recent interview with Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos, former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp revisited the infamous 2018 UEFA Champions League final. During the match, Ramos’s challenge resulted in Mohamed Salah suffering a shoulder injury, sparking significant debate about his playing style. Klopp expressed his doubts about Ramos’s character, asking Kroos, “Is Mr. Sergio Ramos really a good guy? He’s not my favourite player. The action was brutal. Of course, he can’t know that it’s bothering his shoulder, but we all know that he accepted it very happily.”

Klopp further elaborated on his thoughts, stating, “I could never understand that mentality. I never had players like that and, when I did, I made sure they left.”

Kroos’s Defense of Ramos

Kroos quickly came to Ramos’s defense, asserting that he was a great teammate. Despite Kroos’s support, Klopp remained skeptical, reiterating, “He may not be my favourite player, but it doesn’t matter.”

Klopp’s Philosophy on Defending

In concluding his critique, Klopp emphasized his belief that defenders should maintain a higher standard of conduct on the pitch. He remarked, “I always thought that my centre-backs were good enough not to be involved in actions like that.”

This exchange underscores the ongoing discussion about the fine line between competitive physicality and reckless play, a theme that has defined much of Ramos’s career.
