Luis Enrique Explain the reasons for dispensing with the captain Sergio Ramos Believing that the Madrid center back is not inSuitable conditionsAfter he’s not competing yet this year, he recommends that he be “selfish” so that he can get back soon.

Inform the trainer Ramos His decision in a phone call Sunday evening, “correct and courteous”, hours before the unveiling of the list of 24 selected in La Ciudad del Football. Aware of the impact of the decision taken, Luis Enrique He presented his explanation before the start of his press conference.

Special mention to Sergio RamosOur leader who I decided not to attend because he hadn’t been able to compete since January in the right conditionsAnd, he wasn’t able to train with the group. I told him last night, I had a phone conversation with him. It is difficult and difficult. Someone who has always been at his best and can help the team again in the future. “

“It is a complicated decision, but I always strive for the benefit of the national team and the group. I recommended him to be selfish, to think about him in order to regain his level and return to playing with his club and the national team,” he added, without closing the door. When they return to the final stage of the European Nations League or the 2022 World Cup.

I acknowledge Luis Enrique The injuries and situations are like the ones I suffered Sergio Ramos Because he could not get his coveted roster to face the European Cup, but he admitted he had no hope in the time remaining until the start of the tournament Ramos She would have got better after a series of injuries.

“I hope he is here. There was a possibility that he would recover to competition, but I think it is unlikely because he has not been able to compete in recent months,” he said.

The coach did not want to reveal anything about the phone call and only asserted that it was a “very polite and correct conversation, with great respect”, which he indicated that it always appears in public with praise for the player with the most international appearance in history for the national team. My appreciation and admiration for him was always clear, but I have to rely on what we consider to be the best for the national team.

Anything related to RamosWhatever decision he takes, it will spark controversy. When I put in 90 minutes because I didn’t rest, when I put it in a little bit because it was ugly and it was meant to add international character. I know the media hype that affects the coach, I accept it and hope it does not affect the team ready to compete, this is my goal. “

Absence Ramos In the European Cup he has nothing to do, as he explained Luis Enrique, With the decision on the Olympic Games, which the player also wanted to play. “I am not the one to decide anything about games. There is a coach like Luis de la Fuente.”

And the coach ruled out that in order to make a decision that he admitted he was “hoping a lot”, what happened in the last focus had something to do with him, when he recently recovered from an injury without the rhythm of the competition against Greece and to add him. International, the last five minutes before Kosovo.

He ruled out, “It has nothing to do with it.” “They were different positions, that came from not being called up with him Real MadridHe played the first half as we talked and we didn’t even play Kosovo for five minutes with the bad luck that he was injured. It had an effect before that focus, and after sharing it with his team, not having minutes, it got worse. That was what was decisive. “
