Bernd Schuster: Real Madrid Defender Sergio Ramos Needs To Improve
Wednesday, September 2, 2009 @ 1:35 PM
Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster has told Sport that defender Sergio Ramos cannot afford a repeat of his 2008-09 campaign.
The German coach says that Ramos will need to improve greatly if he is to remain at the Bernabeu.
"Sergio Ramos needs to improve because he can't have another season like last year. At Real Madrid this is impossible," said Schuster.
He also believes that the arrival of former Liverpool full-back Alvaro Arbeloa will provide Ramos with the competition he needs to improve as a player.
"Alvaro Arbeloa brings competition, a player who is hungry and wants to prove he can play for Madrid after doing so at Liverpool. Arbeloa can help Sergio. If [Ramos] tries harder and is humble he can become a permanent fixture in the team," Schuster said.
