With the passing of 2021, people are looking forward to the new year at the same time, but also a comprehensive summary and review of the past year. And the Real Madrid mouthpiece "Marca" Sports reviewed the experience of former Real Madrid captain Ramos in 2021 on the front page today, and Marca believes that Ramos's entire year of 2021 is full of mistakes and failures. And reviewed Ramos's 12-month experience:
One: Injured
Ramos did not make a good start to the year and did not appear on January 2 due to a stomach problem. In mid-January, Real Madrid lost the Spanish Super Cup while Ramos had problems with his left knee.
February: On the operating table
Ramos's knee condition attracted attention, and the idea of surgery arose. He took a risk on Feb. 6, which could leave him out for 6 to 8 weeks.
March: Goodbye to the national team
Enrique's national team began to look for candidates for the Qatar World Cup qualifiers, and Ramos wanted to be a member of the national team and repeatedly expressed his voice. Ramos sped up his comeback in the March 13 game against Elche and made his appearance three days later against Atalanta. This gave him the opportunity to be named in Enrique's squad and start against Greece before coming off the bench against Georgia and Kosovo, waiting for a "technical decision". After these two games, he was injured again and has not played for Spain since.
April: One month blank
This month's Real Madrid backline is a fixed pairing of Militão and Nacho, and Ramos has not had any chances to play this month. It was also the first time since May 2013 that he had not played a single minute in the entire month.
May: Fatality
As the season draws to a close, Ramos appeared in the Champions League match against Chelsea, but it was clear he was not ready, it was his 671st game for Real Madrid, and Ramos's situation did not show improvement. On May 13, there were media reports that Spain's national coach Enrique began to doubt Ramos's state. Sure enough, he was not in the Spanish squad announced on May 24.
June: Farewell to Real Madrid
17 June 2021 is ramos's end at Real Madrid, and he said he "never thought about leaving", but did not expect Real Madrid to suddenly announce that they would not renew his contract, which is an unfortunate reality. In response, Ramos had to find a new home.
July: Hello, Paris
On July 8, Paris Saint-Germain announced the signing of Ramos, but he is not the only superstar to join Paris this summer.
August: Stay away from the game again
Paris' new season had already begun, but another month had passed and Ramos had not appeared or given a date for his comeback.
September: More speculation
Again this month there was no news of Ramos' return, but some rumours of his injury improving began, and concerns began to see if he could return after the international break in October.
October: Speculation turns to suspicion
Ramos still did not return after the international match, and doubts began to be expressed about his future. The French media even reported that Paris was tired of Ramos's injury and began to regret the signing.
207 days later in November...
Ramos resumed training on 9 November, but did not play again until 28 November against Saint-Etienne, but he was soon back on the injury list in Paris.
December: Ended a bad year
This month, in the Champions League draw, Paris met Real Madrid. And in the third week of December, Ramos made a comeback. On 22 December, he came off the bench at halftime against Lorient, receiving a yellow card in the 81st minute and then a second four minutes later, ending the year with a red card.
Looking back at Ramos's 12 months, it can be found that on January 1, 2021, Ramos's future is full of hope and vision. This month, his contract extension with Real Madrid seems to be underway, and he looks certain to be going to the European Championship with Spain, while he is still the record holder of the national team's ever appearances and the best player for Real Madrid. But as Dec. 31 approaches, Ramos is no longer a Real Madrid player or euro 2020, but has experienced a 2021 full of failures and mistakes.
