In Spain, there is a lot to do about the jersey number of Sergio Ramos, who recently exchanged Real Madrid for Paris Saint-Germain. according to marca No player in the superpower has yet stepped forward to take over the shirt with number 4 from the figurehead of Real. Ramos, who joined 2005 in 2005 The Royal, once took over this jersey number from club icon Fernando Hierro.
“Should David Alaba, who wore number 27 at Bayern Munich, wear this shirt? Should the newcomer take responsibility?”, the Spanish newspaper said. The Austrian international has not yet been assigned a jersey number at his new club. marca believes that within the Real squad, where Carlo Ancelotti has been the trainer for some time, no one has yet dared to take on Ramos’ legacy.
The situation with Real is similar to that of the national team of Spain. Ramos was not included in the final European Championship selection by national coach Luis Enrique due to knee complaints, as a result of which the shirt with shirt number 15 was released. In the 24-man selection of the Spaniards, however, there was no one who wanted to follow Ramos in terms of number. Ramos also chose number 15 as a tribute to his good friend Antonio Puerta, who died in 2007 from the consequences of a cardiac arrest.
Luka Modric did change jersey number in 2017. The Croatian playmaker, who once started with number 17 at Real, took over number 10 from James Rodríguez when the latter left for Bayern Munich on a rental basis. Since the departure of Ramos, the captaincy of the Madrilenians has been in the hands of Marcelo. The left-back is hoping for a fresh start under Ancelotti after being sidelined under his predecessor Zinedine Zidane last season.
