The Italian legend praised Spanish international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096, for his defensive abilities in the heart of Real Madrid’s backline.
With Portuguese international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Ramos will move back to his natural position
as right-back.
However, Baresi has a totally different point-of-view. Reflecting on the topic, the former AC Milan centre-half stated that Ramos has all the qualities to play in central-defence for the Spanish Giants.
Baresi added that the former Sevilla player’s attributes naturally make a strong case for him playing as a central defender. He pointed out his composure under pressure and his tackling ability to prove his case.
"He has some qualities that make him different [to other defenders] and for this reason he can play multiple positions.
"I like him most in the centre: here, he plays like a champion. He is very strong in central defence.
"He plays in a more natural way and makes better use of all his qualities.
"He is good with his head, with his feet and is intelligent. Although I have to say, he is also a good full-back," the legendary central defender told Spanish sports daily, Marca.
Continuing on the topic, Baresi admitted that he likes to see Ramos on the pitch. The 51-year-old commented that it is good to see a talented individual play with his heart on his sleeve, rather than money.
"I like players who have a strong personality on the pitch," said Baresi, who labelled Ramos as "one of the best defenders in the world".
"It's clear that there may be more to come, but Sergio is already showing [his quality] now."
The Spanish international has been an important figure for Real Madrid in the current campaign thus far. In Los Blancos’ latest league match, Ramos scored the only goal against cross town rivals, Getafe, to give his team a slim victory.
