The ball leaves your teammate’s boot and in less than a second it’s flying over you. The defender follows you closely. But not close enough. Two yards of grass are enough to see you flying away. By the third step you’re in the air.
That's all Sergio Ramos needed to make the difference with the technical skill only the rare few could grasp. A perfect twist of the head, and the goal is finished off inside the far post. Ramos showed once again that he’s not just one of the best defenders in the world, but also one of the best masters of the header. The precision of his boots doesn’t limit him to making passes to his forwards – he also knows what to do when he’s on the receiving end.
Defense is in his blood. Precision in his feet. Goals in his head.
