Ramos surprised by Bale talent

 

By Kevin Palmer

 

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos admits he is surprised by the impact Gareth Bale has made in his first few days as the world’s most expensive footballer.

 

Bale scored on his Real Madrid debut at Villarreal on Saturday and Ramos conceded he has been taken aback by the Welsh midfielder whose talents have been overlooked by some in the dressing room he now frequents.

 

“The truth is because he (Bale) did not play for a team in England that played in the Champions League, we did not know that much about him,” stated Ramos about the former Tottenham star.

 

“We know if the coach wanted him that strongly he must be a good player, but nobody was prepared for how special he is. We are glad now that he is with us.

 

“It has only been a few training sessions we have seen him in, but some of what we see we can’t believe.

 

“He is so fast, so tricky, and the frightening thing is that he is not even 100 per cent game fit yet.”

 

Interesting! You would have thought Bale played for Reading or something.

Lowy added that FIFA should not make a decision on shifting the seasons for the Qatar tournament until FIFA’s ethics committee, chaired by Mr Michael Garcia, finished its inquiries into the 2022 World Cup bidding process.

 

A "FIFA Ethics Committee". Interesting concept. What's next? An Ethilic Sobriety League?

Ramos is w*****, tbh.

 

Is he one of these players that just turns up as it's his job then when he leaves training he has no interest in the game? Because that is obscene football knowledge to seemingly not have a single clue what Gareth Bale was about?

1) It's established knowledge that Ramos' ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

2) He's just bigging up his teammate. "He's even better than we thought!", just choses a clumsy way to justify it.

The Football Federation of Australia is demanding $43 million in compensation from FIFA, for the whole world cup bidding debacle.

 

FOOTBALL Federation Australia have requested FIFA provide compensation for the $43 million spent on Australia's unsuccessful World Cup bid.

The FFA’s bold move comes in the wake of FIFA manouverings to play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar during the winter months to avoid the Arab state’s searing summer temperatures.

Australia’s bid was predicated on the tournament being played during the European summer, as per tradition, to avoid a clash with lucrative club competitions.

 

The FFA have asked FIFA to make “an in-principle decision that just and fair compensation should be paid to those nations that invested many millions, and national prestige, in bidding for a summer event” if the tournament is shifted to Qatar’s winter.

Australia’s football governing body has also suggested that, should FIFA shift the tournament to Qatar’s winter, “a transparent process should be established to examine the scheduling implications for all leagues and a method developed for agreeing appropriate compensation for those affected.”

“We will be seeking compensation for the full amount spent, every cent, if the tournament moves (to Qatar’s winter),” an FFA source said. “We’ll be looking for a full refund.”

FFA chairman Frank Lowy advised FIFA not to rush a decision on shifting seasons for the 2022 World Cup at their executive committee meeting on October 3. Lowy clarified Australia’s position in a letter to FIFA president Sepp Blatter in July.

“Australia invested heavily in the World Cup process and the entire nation was behind the bid,” Lowy said. “Since December 2010 Australia has been careful not to let its misgivings about the process be interpreted as sour grapes.

 

“But now, with increasing speculation about a change that will impact on us as one of the bidding nations, and because our competition will be affected, we have made our position public.

“Our season takes place during the Australian summer to avoid a clash with other local football codes, a move that was necessary because the A-League simply could not get access to the high standard stadiums required as they were being used by other codes during the Australian winter.

“If the World Cup were to be staged in the middle of our A-League season it would impact on our competition, not just for 2022, but for the seasons leading up to and beyond that date.

“Clubs, investors, broadcasters, players and fans would all be affected.

“FIFA has an opportunity now to make the best of a bad situation by embarking on a transparent and orderly approach, unlike the process that led to the original flawed decision in December 2010.

“FIFA champions the notion of ‘Fair Play’ and that principle should apply to the decisions it makes in the coming months.”

 

Lowy added that FIFA should not make a decision on shifting the seasons for the Qatar tournament until FIFA’s ethics committee, chaired by Mr Michael Garcia, finished its inquiries into the 2022 World Cup bidding process.

“Better to let the independent investigative process run its natural course and then, with those issues settled, make a clear-eyed assessment about rescheduling and its consequences,” Lowy said.

“He is so fast, so tricky, and the frightening thing is that he is not even 100 per cent game fit yet.”

So let's look at what Ramos "said" in July, when Bale was a Spurs player (http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/gareth-bale-transfer-real-madrids-2109687):

 

“Bale is an excellent footballer. I have viewed many Tottenham matches in the past season and he was excellent on the pitch. A player with his characteristics would be great for our squad. I always prefer to play with the biggest players, rather than as rivals.”

 

Spot the contradiction. I really wouldn't pay too much attention to any of it - it's all manipulative bullshit.

More great stuff from NUFC TV, now they have the players saying 'you're watching NUFC TV' at the start of each piece. Also, the video 'behind the scenes' of the team photo has a song in the background which says 'fucking' at one point. Instead of using a different song or missing it out, they just turn the volume down a bit, but you can still hear it. Who the hell is behind this rubbish?
