The national football team's starting lineup was anchored by players such as Li Weifeng, Du Wei, Xu Yunlong, Shao Jiayi, Zhao Junzhe, and Li Yi, while the Spanish side featured names such as Kassi, Puyol, Xavi, and Torres. Torres was the first to break through in the first half, while Xavi scored his first goal for the national team. After the break, Ramos came on as a substitute and made his national team debut. In the second half, Joaquín added a second goal to give Spain a 3-0 victory.
In the summer of 2005, Ramos joined Real Madrid from Sevilla for a transfer fee of 27 million euros and started his brilliant career. In his debut season, Ramos played mainly as a center back with occasional cameo appearances at the back. He made 47 appearances, scored 6 goals, and received 4 red cards, showing both sides of his game. Ramos' career has been characterized by two labels: 'defender with a knife' and 'master of the card'. Interestingly, he has scored a total of 132 goals in his career, 23 for the national team, but has failed to score in 32 matches in international competitions, with 0 goals and 0 assists. His 29 red cards, the national team in 180 games but 0 red cards, international competitions in 32 games also only received 5 yellow cards.
At that time, Real Madrid was in the chaotic stage of the first phase of the Galactic battleship, the season four big failure. In the national derby, Real Madrid lost 0-3 to Barcelona, and underneath Junior's agile dance steps, Ramos' figure looked a bit lousy. Every defender goes through such moments: accumulating experience in failure and regaining confidence in difficult situations. Despite his inexperience on the defensive end, Ramos is physically strong, fast, technically brilliant, with good passing and ball control, and the ability to push forward with the ball. Aragoneses brought Ramos to Germany to participate in the World Cup, he and small law is the only two after 85 players in the Spanish team at that time, that year Ramos was 20 years old.
In the first match against Ukraine, Ramos overpowered Salgado to start. From then on, Ramos firmly held the starting spot for Spain in seven tournaments over the next 12 years, taking part in 32 of Spain's 34 tournaments, playing in 31 of them, with the only two times he didn't play being in the third round of the tournament after two group exits in 2006 and 2008. The young Spanish team met a stumbling France after three straight wins in the group stage. France "stopped" Spain when Ramos made an 84th-minute interception in front of the goal, but couldn't keep out Vieira's header. Zinedine Zidane added a second goal in stoppage time and France eliminated Spain 3-1!
Two years later in the European Cup, the Spanish team is more mature, Aragoneses abandoned Raul, Ramos, Fabregas, David Silva, Iniesta, Torres and other young players to play an important role, the Spanish team played a flowing art soccer. After another clean sweep in the group stage, Spain met world champions Italy. This penalty shootout of 4-2 played a decisive role in the establishment of the Spanish dynasty. Spain then eliminated Russia 3-0 to meet Germany in the final. In the 23rd minute of the final, Ramos came close to assisting Fernando Torres with a cross from the right, who hit the post with a header!
In the 67th minute, Ramos fishtailed a shot that was blocked by Lehmann with a single palm! Although not directly involved in the goal, but Spain still with Torres's goal to beat Germany 1-0, after 44 years to win the tournament title! In the post-match celebration of the win, Ramos was seen wearing the white T-shirt with his close friend Puerta.
On August 25, 2007, at the age of 22, Puerta suffered a cardiac arrest during a match and died three days later. Puerta was a close friend of Ramos's, and they played together in Sevilla since they were children. Since then, every year on August 28, Ramos will remember Puerta. "You will always be in our hearts and you must be proud of Sevilla's UEFA Cup win. We won't forget you, brother!" (2020) "It's been 14 years and I still miss you as much as I did on the first day." (2021) "15 years without you, 15 years without forgetting you. You are eternal, my friend. Always in my heart." (2022) On October 15, 2019, when Spain came to Sweden for the European Qualifiers, Ramos, who had just set a record for appearances in Spain's team history but was suspended for a yellow card, reminisced about the past here.It was here, 13 years ago, and also in the European Qualifiers, that Puerta finished the only match of his national team career, replacing Kapdevila and playing on the wings with Ramos for 40 minutes, for the first and last time.
In that game, Ramos wore No. 4 and Puerta wore No. 15, and since then with the Spanish national team, Ramos has locked down No. 15, a number he shares with Puerta, who will always be with his good brother. This is Ramos, Ramos with love and justice. Although Ramos often has a rough side on the field, but he has always had a soft heart, accompanied by the heavenly Puerta beating.
After the Euros, Barcelona entered its heyday under Pep Guardiola, and with the addition of young players such as Piqué, Pedro, and Busquets, the Spanish squad was even more luxurious. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Spain defeated Honduras and Chile in consecutive matches after losing to Switzerland in the first match, and then eliminated Portugal, Paraguay and Germany along the way to reach the World Cup finals for the first time! Ramos started all 7 matches and 7 Barcelona players started in the final, Ramos, Kassi & Alonso were Real Madrid players and Capdevila was from Villarreal. Ramos' header in the opening five minutes had the Dutch team in a cold sweat.
In the 11th minute, Ramos forced a break down the right and came close to causing another Heitinga oval!
In the 77th minute, Ramos was in the clear to head the ball over the bar! It was a great chance for him to seal the deal with a goal! This final, and even the whole tournament, Ramos did not score and assists, but played very well. After the World Cup, FIFA released the official data rating, Ramos with 9.79 points high first, is the highest rated player in the World Cup!
Sneijder, the centerpiece of the Dutch midfield, later revealed something else, a text message from his former Real Madrid teammate Ramos before the final: "Enough, you've won three titles! It's not easy, Wesley." Sneijder laughed bitterly: "He also texted Crowe before the game against Portugal, and then Portugal lost to Spain. If you ask me, Ramos is the new Paul the Octopus." Winning the European Cup and the World Cup consecutively is just fantastic for the 24-year-old Ramos. Just in the club, the universe of Barcelona's strength to make the Galactic Warriors Real Madrid some embarrassment, and even quite suffocating, in the Camp Nou 0-5 behind Barcelona, Ramos completely out of control, cathartic from the back of the shovel Messi, followed by a hand to push forward the theory of Puyol, and left the field also pushed Xavi! At this time, the most disturbed is undoubtedly the Spanish team manager Bosco, Ramos, Puyol, Harvey are important players of the national team, Ramos's violent behavior will affect the harmony of the national team. Ramos quickly apologized: "I never wanted to intentionally hurt people, in fact, I was in addition to kicking Messi, but also kicked Lars Diarra, for all of this I want to apologize to my teammates, to Xavi and Puyol apologized. I called Harvey and Puyol the day after the game to apologize, I have a good relationship with them." The national derby does not need peace, but the Spanish national team needs harmony, and those were the years when the Spanish national derby was at its most passionate, fiery and exciting, with Melo dueling, GuaMu looking at each other, and the civil war between Spanish internationals, pulling the level of conversation to its peak. But when Euro 2012 comes, Barcelona Real Madrid's international players still have to abandon their grudges and fight for the defense of the title! Due to Puyol's injury, Ramos began to partner Piqué in the center back of the Spanish national team. In the first match against Italy, Ramos had made a mistake, but the famous scene of Ba Shen thinking about his life gave Ramos the chance to make up for his mistake.
Ramos was fourth in the penalty shootout against Portugal in the semifinals. Two months ago in the Champions League semi-final, Ramos had buried Real Madrid's hopes with a penalty kick. This time, Ramos resisted the pressure, surprisingly kicked the spoon penalty, fooled Patricio, Ramos out of the heart, Spain penalty eliminated Portugal! The final meets Italy again, Spain in tactics, strength and luck on the full suppression, in the case of 4-0 lead, Ramos even played a heel shot, challenge Buffon. Spain achieved an unprecedented three consecutive titles in the tournament, Ramos was selected as the best team in the European Cup, he partnered with Gerard Pique's defense only conceded 1 goal in 6 matches, and Spain conceded 0 goals in 10 matches in the knockout rounds of the three consecutive tournaments! This Matador into the history books, at this time Ramos also has a dream, is to win the Champions League for Real Madrid! Since joining Real Madrid, Ramos every season have red cards, but also have goals, from the Champions League to the national derby, Ramos always come forward at the critical moment. 13-14 season Champions League semi-final, Ramos two headers smashed Bayern, killing the suspense. Stadium of Light, in the most important Champions League final, in the most critical extra time, Ramos scored the most famous and important goal of his career! It was also the most important goal in Real Madrid's team history! At 92:48, the Magic Flute kicked a corner kick, and Master Shui's header broke the goal, Real Madrid drew with Atletico Madrid, came back from the dead, and finally won the 10th Champions League trophy in the team's history! Mr. Shui is an absolute big hearted player, Mr. Big Game, he scored a total of 15 goals in the Champions League, 7 of which came from the knockout rounds and 2 from the final. Two years later, another Champions League final, again against Atletico Madrid, Ramos scored again, and in the ensuing penalty shootout also scored a penalty to help Real Madrid win the Champions League again, and open the era of the three consecutive titles! Real Madrid's heyday came and went, but the Spanish dynasty went down the tubes. 2014 World Cup group stage first match, Spain again met the Netherlands, Spain at that time in the lineup far better than the Netherlands, but when Robben foot wind turbine half-court run, Ramos can only be tired, he stood in front of the goal, but also can not stop the Netherlands for the fifth time will be the ball into the goal of Spain. After losing to Chile in the second game, Spain went out of the group in advance, and the collapse of a generation of dynasty was only two years later with two games. Two years after the European Cup, Spain shock three consecutive titles, Ramos also took over the captain's armband from the hands of Cassie. But the final round against Croatia, Ramos but kicked lost to help the team again leading the penalty kick, his Real Madrid teammate Modric present to Su Bassiqi revealed Ramos's little secret. Ramos has conceded penalties five times in regular time in his career, four of them with the national team, and he has taken 12 penalties for Spain, conceding four. 2013 Confederations Cup final, Ramos had conceded a penalty. This penalty kick penalty, so that Ramos is not international competition goals, and Perisic's kill is sent to Croatia top line, Spain into the death half of the zone, the final 0-2 defeat Italy, not to the European Cup eight. Another two years, Ramos 7th international tournament, continue to wear the captain's armband, which is also Ramos three consecutive times in winning the Champions League title after the impact of the tournament title. Unfortunately, he still couldn't win the super double like his teammates Khedira, Crow and Varane. Spain at the 2018 World Cup, made more difficult by the sudden dismissal of manager Lopetegui, had its first match against Portugal, with Crowe in the hat. At that time, Ramos's sudden jump when Crow scored a penalty was interpreted as "Ramos habitually celebrates for Real Madrid teammate Crow", # Ramos This is the World Cup not the European Championship # even on the hot search. It was clearly a joke, and the original soundtrack of the scene shows Ramos shouting at De Gea, "Steady, come out and pounce." He tried to rush forward to clear the ball but missed. Spain eventually finished top of the table and met hosts Russia. In the opening 12 minutes, Ramos grabbed the back of the net from a set piece and created an Ignashevich oolong, and although the water master didn't score in the World Cup, he at least finished the celebration as a maker. Spain, who had 79% possession and 25 shots on goal, were eventually dragged down to penalties. Ramos, fourth on the pitch, his customary penalty smoothness, scored the penalty, but hosts Russia had the last laugh. While the national team glory is gone, there is no denying that Ramos has been the top defender in world soccer for the past 10 years. From 2011 to 2020, Ramos was named to the FIFA annual best XI for 10 consecutive years, totaling 11 selections second only to Crow and Messi, and 9 selections to the UEFA best XI also second only to Crow and Messi. In 2020, IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics) included Ramos in the World Football Team of the Decade and the European Football Team of the Decade, and Ramos was selected as the highest rated defender of the decade and the highest rated defender of the 21st century by IFFHS.
