Sergio Ramos was officially presented this Wednesday evening to the public of Sevilla FC. He received a crazy welcome from the 23,000 supporters who came just for him. In front of the media, the former PSG defender returned to his arrival: “It’s an unforgettable day. A dream. I’m coming back after 18 years. We don’t know if dreams come true but today is one of those days that I want to frame. I want to share it with my loved ones. Emotionally and sentimentally it’s special. I want to thank José Castro and Victor Orta for this opportunity and to be able to show that I really want to play football here. Here we are. I left when I was a child and now I’m coming back with my wife. »

For the former PSG defender, it’s a homecoming that begins. “I am always optimistic. If I’m here, it’s for something. If I am here, it is a consensus decision and it was taken by all. I am a person of emotions and sensations. I have to believe in the project. In Paris, my cycle was over. Now I start again in Seville. I hope I can be like Rakitic, who came and won a title as captain. It’s very difficult, but the first thing to do is to believe in it,” he said.

Then he mentioned the possibility of scoring a penalty against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu: “We will have to talk to Ivan (Rakitic) to manage things. But I like challenges. I always want to score goals. “In Seville, Sergio Ramos will receive much less than in Paris. He will receive a salary of just over one million euros net, selon sports world. That is six times less than his salary at PSG. But his desire to return to the Sevillian club was stronger than anything.
