Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos scored two goals in the Copa del Rey last night against Girona. These two goals, according to coach Santiago Solari, emphasize even more the role of the Spaniard both in defense and in the attack.
At the press conference after the end of the match, Solari suggested that the Spanish midfielder could play in the center-back for Real Madrid.
The winner of the World Cup has managed to score a lot of goals for “Los Blancos”, despite having center-backs. In 594 appearances for Madrid, Ramos has scored 82 goals. Some of his goals have been crucial, as he has scored in the Champions League finals.
Both goals scored by central defender Ramos, along with two other goals scored by Lucas Vazquez and Karim Benzema, secured the Los Blancos 4-2 victory and now the Madrid players are one step closer to the King’s semi-finals.
However, while Solari’s boys won this battle, they still do not know who will be the winner of the war as the Girona squad will be even more motivated for the match. At the previous stage, Girona defeated Atletico Madrid scoring three goals and exactly so goals needed to eliminate Real Madrid from the King’s Cup now.
“I would not rule out the opportunity for him to play as an attacker. Sergio is a warrior, a leader. He proves this in defense, but also in the opponent’s area. For his second goal, he hit the ball as if he was a striker, “Solari said.
“He scored the Penalty in the Panenka style. He is a specialist for this, he does it perfectly. He does not score penalties just this way, he does in many different ways. “
