Spain coach, Luis Enrique has described captain, Sergio Ramos as a chosen one who has surpassed his expectations ahead of his side’s Nations League clash with England on Saturday at Wembley.
Enrique, a former Barcelona boss, replaced Julen Lopetegui following his 2018 pre-World Cup dismissal.
“Being a captain in the national team is because, among internationals available, you are the player with the most personality team,” Sportskeeda quoted Enrique as saying at a press conference on Friday.
“When you see him [Ramos] compete, he understands that he is a chosen one, he already knew that.
“He is a great leader in any situation, a person who drags in and out. I am delighted with him. I expected a very high level, but in this case he has surpassed my expectations.”
he added, “It was a spectacular week”.
“I cannot wait for it [the match]. I have no doubts about the XI playing tomorrow, but I have been surprised – for the better – by things that I have seen.
“I’ve seen such great attitude. It’s one thing to see them from the outside and another to see how they react to what you ask them in training. I’m optimistic and I’m excited to see them compete.”
