And still not enough. He was let go way to often.
Why does Ramos get praised for being reckless and letting his team down
He shouldn’t be. Imo people consider him one of the greats because of his leadership on the pitch and his goalscoring ability. His defending is subpar compared with other defenders.
Not really praised, just like a funny thing to note about him and his playing style.
He certainly is a very dirty player, but it’s undeniable that even with the red cards, his presence on the field is tremendous. If you have a team that can fill in the occasional hole of a suspension by Ramos, like Real Madrid did, he shines through.
Kinda like Romero right now, except Spurs don’t have the depth to cover for his suspensions.
Yea, Ramos’ recklessness and aggression was part of the reason he was so good. The man went to war every single game for better or worse. His red card record is a byproduct of that. It’s not a bug, it’s intentional design lol.
Lots of defenders did that without being anywhere near as dirty as Ramos. You don’t see guys like Puyol on these lists.
Ramos was also a straight up better defender than Puyol
Not a lot of defenders scored in 2 CL finals, won the competition 4 times and the Euros and the WC. If he could repeat his career I am sure he wouldn’t change a thing about it.
Sergio Ramos only needs to get 18 more red cards to break the record as the player with the most red cards in football history!!!
Colombian Gerardo Bedoya currently holds the record as the football player with the most red cards with 46 red cards!!
my king 👑
He is just stat padding at this point.
Imagine if the referees weren’t complete idiots, how many red cards would Ramos get.
Romero will surpass him
5 reds in 5.3 seasons so far. He needs to up his game by a lot
He’s averaged a red card every 18 games for us, so he’s already upping his game lol
Even if he keeps that average and let’s say he plays 36 games a season (which is highly unrealistic but easy to calculate with), he needs 12 more seasons. He would be 37 by then and Romero with 37 is either retired or playing in Argentina and Ramos is probably not done either.
And that’s not counting the several blatant reds he’s gotten away with.
I had someone defending Romeros boneheaded reds referencing Ramos as their litmus
Que la roja quedaen casa… Lalala lalaaaaaaaa
13 more than anybody else is actually fucking horrendous. What an absolute genuine cunt
I’ll never forget his intentional arm breaking tackle on Salah. Villain.
and the intentional elbow on karius that concussed him and likely led to his mistakes
Still not as GOATed as Gerardo Bedoya
Everyone who watched the Ramos-Pepe CB pair back in the day knows they could’ve been sent off twice as much, easily.
And he definitely deserved more
And he should have had so many more.
Oh captain my captain
