• Football René defends his management in LOC: the threads he moves in PSG's skid with the signing of Sergio Ramos

  • The Supreme Court agrees with Fran Rivera in his lawsuit against Sergio Ramos

When Sergio Ramos signed for Paris Saint Germain, many of us fantasized about a glamorous season on the banks of the Seine in which the defender, as he was already doing in Madrid, would combine the pitch with museums and training sessions with

la vie de bohème.

We imagined Ramos taking advantage of the opportunity not only to hold up the sheikh, as all his wardrobe partners do,

but also to follow in the footsteps of Máximo Huerta,

a lover of typical Paris who knows exactly where to buy the best baguette, in what florist to order a bouquet of camellias and where to look for some coveted André Gide first edition.

Ramos has always perceived himself as an esthete, as an elegant man - a Beckham from the south, who wears a bow tie and a vest just as well as green polka dot socks.

We must never forget that magical moment in the documentary about his life released on Amazon Prime Video in which, in a Thyssen museum open only for him, he admired the quattrocentista style of the Venetian Carpaccio.

Thus, Paris, the city of light that dazzled so many geniuses, was made for him:

Sergio could have entered the city and conquered it in a couple of days,

which would not be the first time in history that happened.

People expected everything from Messi, but we were from Ramos, someone who prefers a glass of calvados to a thermos with mate.

DISAPPOINTMENT

The expectations, therefore, were high: how easy it was to

imagine yellow cards at close range

and private visits to the Louvre to admire the Victory of Samothrace with a biography of Vivant Denon under his arm to guide him,

headers in injury time

and reservations in the best restaurants where they serve hare a la royal.

Ramos was called to turn his area into an impregnable fortification, and not another Maginot line, and his house into a new Versailles.

He could have had the year of his life, and sadly he has disappointed us.

In sports, the statistics are terrible.

Ramos arrived in Paris injured, he was slow to make his debut in Ligue 1 -he was never able to play in the Champions League-, and about to end the season, he has barely added four hours of play in five games, where he has been able to score a goal and win a resounding whistle of the Parisian crowd, easily distinguished by

their tendency to wear tracksuits and sneakers without socks.

So much so, that on the main floor of the Parc des Princes it is already taken for granted that there will not be a second chance: Ramos will have to leave the club next season.

In a recent video released by the PSG press service, Ramos apologized and vindicated himself.

He assured that

at 36 years old he is at the zenith of his career,

that football flowed torrentially through his veins, and that he wants nothing more than to demonstrate that he can leave his indelible mark on Paris, as Diaghilev, Henry Miller or Rossini did in the past. .

However, from the club they see him more as an extra from

The Walking Dead

: for a year, Ramos has not stopped injuring himself, unable to find continuity as he had had at the Bernabéu and, more than a sporting heyday, what observed in its evolution is the descending curve of the nadir.

Their possible future destinations are already beginning to sound:

the United States league, a return to Seville,

or a preventive withdrawal in Qatar to bill the last millionaire of his career.

One has the impression of PSG that it is an asylum for elephants,

the club where one can take it raw without

breaking the bank, because all the money that Al-Khelaïfi has has not yet been able to buy neither pedigree nor

grandeur

, so always you can accumulate another failure without lowering the payroll.

And Ramos has not done anything different than Neymar or Messi, comfortably installed in their status as candidates for withdrawal.

And in the same way that football is already beginning to dry up the defender, his tourist season in Paris has been even more disappointing.

At the end of 2021, in an interview with Amazon Prime France, Ramos answered 20 questions in the purest Proust questionnaire style and said

things like his favorite typical French dish was crêpes

-but let's see-, which he had not yet been able to upload to the Eiffel Tower, although he had "seen" it - all that was missing - and that Paris was attracted to museums and monuments.

In other words, he had barely left his house, like Albert Cossery, that lazy writer who lived 57 years in the same hotel room.

Staying at home can be another way of experiencing Paris - this is what happens in

The Dreamers

, Bernardo Bertolucci's film -, but for that you have to have seen all the films of Renoir, Carné, Godard and Truffaut, but there is no evidence that a subscription of the Fimothèque of the Latin Quarter, which also falls far away.

Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio settled, according to the French press, in the Neuilly-sûr-Seine neighborhood,

in the Île-de-France region, in a multi-storey house of which various details are known thanks to the publications on Pilar's Instagram: spacious rooms, refined decoration, large windows and private gym.

But life in Paris for the couple, as expected, can no longer be the same as in Madrid.

In addition to the change of scenery and the search for suitable schools for her three children, the signing of Ramos by PSG disrupted Pilar's work routine, which since then has had to pull a private jet -Ramos acquired one in 2020-

to comply with his professional commitments in Madrid

both as a

fashion

influencer and in his collaborations with Pablo Motos' production company.

Considering one more year in Paris would be lucrative for the footballer – his record amounts to 15 million euros – and affordable for the couple, since they are still young and can withstand the whiplash.

But as it is clear that Florentino is not going to ask Ramos to return,

the best destination for the defender would be to return to Seville, meet again with the Pizjuán fans

-if they want to forgive him, that some do not forget the betrayal of youth-, and to be close to his business in Spain again, which is undoubtedly what will occupy his time when he hangs up his boots for good.

Ramos' future balls will no longer be from the penalty spot, but by buying stocks,

opening gyms, collecting art, raising race horses

and investing in real estate.

Maybe he even considers recording an album of trap, rumba and flamenco, which, moreover, is undesirable.
