Le mea culpa de Sergio Ramos: "Oui, c'était une erreur"

'Sergio Ramos n'est pas épargné par les critiques et les rumeurs après la semaine cauchemardesque du Real qui, en huit jours, a abandonné toutes ses ambitions d'au moins remporter un trophée cette saison. En bon capitaine, le Madrilène a décidé de prendre la parole. 

"Désastre"

Ciblé pour avoir pris volontairement un carton jaune lors du match aller contre l'Ajax, il n'hésite pas à faire son autocritique. "Oui, c'était une erreur", reconnaît-il. Et il assume sa part de responsabilité dans le "désastre" madrilène. "Je ne me cache pas, nous ne nous cachons pas. Les joueurs sont les principaux responsables et moi, en tant que capitaine, encore plus." 

Quant à savoir si Santiago Solari restera en poste, le défenseur du Real ne se prononce pas. "Cette décision ne nous appartient pas, mais nous respectons le poste et nous soutiendrons toujours l'entraîneur du Real Madrid."

As footballers we like to do our talking on the pitch but this season is not turning out that way. Recent events have been disastrous and I’m not hiding. We are not hiding. We the players are primarily responsible and I, as captain, more than anyone. That's why I thought that the most honest way to answer the questions that are circulating around us would be to tackle them directly. Was the yellow card in Amsterdam an error? Absolutely it was an error and I take the blame 200%. Why did you record the documentary? There are certain commitments made and it never remotely went through my head that the game could have turned out as it did. The recording itself was scaled down as the game went on. Did you argue with the President in the dressing room? Dressing room issues are discussed and resolved in the dressing room. There's no problem whatsoever and everybody has the same interest: Real Madrid. Did you address your teammates and criticize them? We always talk and motivate each other in the dressing room and always in a constructive way. Did you have a confrontation with Marcelo? We have exchanges in every training session. It's part of working with pressure. But it’s just an anecdote like so many others that happen from day to day. @Marcelotwelve is like a brother to me. Why did you travel to Valladolid? Because I wanted to be close and support my teammates. What's happening with the coach? It’s a decision that’s not ours to make and in which we never interfere. We have enormous respect for the position and we always support the Real Madrid coach. These reflections are, without doubt, the result of a deeply disappointing season but if success didn’t stop us, we're not going to let defeat stop us. It's our obligation to carry on, to work and to evolve. And to remember that some of us are lucky enough to play for @realmadrid, some of us are lucky enough to form part of its history, but #RealMadrid was, is and will always be #RealMadrid. No one name makes the legend of Real Madrid, but we have all written that legend together. Together we have to work for the future and restore our hope. Madridista Commitment. #HalaMadrid
