Sergio Ramos Performance Attracts the Attention After Real Madrid 0-3 Defeat Against Eibar

DBasia.news –  There’s no player bigger than a club. Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi need the help from the teammates to be successful and achieve the victory. That’s why, football is the collective sport, teamwork above everything.

But, just like a well-formed system, the teamwork and collectivity might be ruined if some individuals perform badly.

Let’s see the example from Real Madrid’s 0-3 defeat against Eibar on the 13th-week of LaLiga, Saturday (24/11). The defeat happened just a few days after Madrid appointed Santiago Solari as the permanent coach.

Another interesting fact: the victory was the first for Eibar against Madrid 77 years ago. It’s reasonable that Eibar fanatic fans and the players celebrate it like achieving a trophy.

Madrid got conceded 19 times from 13 LaLiga matches. If we see it in a broader context, they got conceded 25 goals in 19 competitive matches of all tournaments. For a team like Madrid, the statistic is a shame.

Ironically, Marcelo, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, except Dani Carvajal, are three defenders who achieved the Champions League in consecutive times under Zinedine Zidane. Logically, if they play together, Madrid are supposed to be more solid, aren’t it?

Moreover, Marcelo, Varane, and Ramos, were chosen as FIFA Best Player. Ramos even got the Defender of the Season titles for two consecutive years. No one doubts Ramos status as one of the best defenders in the world, except Dejan Lovren due to their rivalry recently).

However, Ramos performance in the match against Eibar didn’t do justice of his title. Ramos often got overwhelmed in responding to the counter-attack from Eibar.

The only positive side from the 32-year-old player was his contribution in dominantly possess the ball, but it wasn’t effective. In total, when the trio Marcelo, Varane, and Ramos played, they got conceded 12 times from 3 matches against Atletico Madrid in the Europe Super Cup, Sevilla, and Barcelona in the LaLiga matches.

A Catalonian media, Mundo Deportivo, firmly stated in their article that Ramos showed more negative performance instead of the positive one.

Furthermore, from the same media, Ramos seemed to confirm that he used the doping to perform well in just some particular matches. Mundo refers to Der Spiegel allegation to Ramos that he failed to comply with the anti-doping regulation that is trending in Europe.

The taller a tree is, the stronger the wind would be. That’s the right quote to portray Ramos now. After the success stories in the past, he is now under the highlight due to Madrid’s poor defense and failed to comply the anti-doping allegation.
