The Spanish defender denied rumours of rift with manager Jose Mourinho after defeat against Barcelona.
Drama continues to engulf the Santiago Bernabeu as rumours of a conflict between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Ramos-c33096 and Jose Mourinho surfaced.
The said event occurred as Real Madrid were beaten by Barcelona in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final fixture.
In the wake of recent ramblings in the Spanish press, the former Sevilla stopper came out in the open and stated there have never been any ill feelings between him and the coach. Ramos praised Mourinho for his tactical prowess and insisted that he
only has admiration and respect for the Portuguese mentor.
"He's a great coach and brings so much to the group," the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 international told El Larguero.
"He is a person who one can learn a lot from in terms of commitment and professionalism. I never had any problem with him."
Ramos also took out time to quash speculations which said that he was called into Florentino Perez’s office to justify his actions. The Real Madrid star said that he has a good relationship with the Real Madrid president and his office only reminds
him of his contract renewals.
"He never called me to scold me," the defender declared. "His office always brings back only good memories for me because I almost always go there to renew my contract."
The 25-year-old also shared his thoughts on Real Madrid’s excellent league performances, which have seen them leapfrog http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 into pole position with a 10-point advantage.
Despite the lead, Ramos modestly reflected that they have their feet on the ground and will not celebrate until the title is secured.
"It will be tight," he argued. "Hopefully we do not lose points. We have our feet on the ground and going game by game with the utmost humility because they are all finals for us."
The flamboyant defender is currently away with La Roja squad and is preparing for their midweek friendly with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Venezuela-c3039. Ramos is expected to be back at the Santiago Bernabeu before the weekend, as Mourinho’s charges take on the challenge of Espanyol
in front of the home fans.
