A spark of hope appeared for Sergio Ramos when the Spanish national coach Luis Enrique published his 55 provisional list for the World Cup at the end of October, but unfortunately for PSG defender, this spark hasn’t turned into a burning flame. Instead, former Barcelona manager spilled ‘cold water’ over Ramos, when he excluded him from the final 26 man list who will travel to Qatar. Former Real Madrid is the most capped player in the history of the Spanish national team with 180 appearances, but this number won’t change anytime soon. At 36, Ramos certainly won’t be invited to the national team anymore. Red Fury in Qatar: No Ramos, Thiago or AlonsoThe steady defender won everything with the Red Fury – the World Cup in 2010 and two European Championships (2008 and 2012) and he was hoping that he might get the chance to participate, even from the bench, but Enrique choose to call younger and more inexperienced players instead. “Last season was hard, due to injuries and adapting to a new club and a different city. I worked with body and soul to recover and feel like I always did again, guided by the goals and illusions that one always sets and pursues. Fortunately I can say that this season I feel like myself again and I am once again enjoying football, my club and a great city like Paris. The World Cup? Of course, it was one of those big dreams that I had to fulfill. He would have been the fifth, but unfortunately I will have to see him from my house. It’s hard, but every day the sun rises again. It will change absolutely nothing in me. Neither my mentality nor my passion nor my perseverance nor the effort and dedication of 24 hours thinking about football. This is my feeling and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you all for the love, there are many challenges and goals to meet. See you soon. I wish you the best. Come on, Spain!” wrote Ramos on his Instagram account. FICOU FORA DA LISTA DA ESPANHA! 🇪🇸 Sergio Ramos usou suas redes sociais para lamentar não ter sido convocado para a #CopaDoMundo. Você teria levado o zagueiro do PSG se fosse o Luis Enrique, torcedor? pic.twitter.com/81EqXA30MK— TNT Sports BR (@TNTSportsBR) November 14, 2022 PSG defender’s years finally caught up with him as his last days with Real Madrid were married with injuries, and this trend continued in Paris. Only this season has he finally managed to put a series of consecutive games without an injury, but obviously that was not enough for the Spain coach. Also, Valencia’s Hugo Guillamon’s good form might have been a major reason why Enrique felt he deserved a chance alongside fellow defenders Laporte, Garcia and Torres.##NAJAVA_MECA_6806721##
