Sergio Ramos, Spanish central defender, said farewell via video to Mexico’s Rayados de Monterrey, for whom he signed on February 6, and their fans, noting that he had “a wonderful experience in an enchanting country.”
“The Mexican experience is over, today we say goodbye to Monterrey. These are a bit nostalgic days because we came with great longing and great hope for success. That could not be, we could not achieve our goal, but I have a wonderful experience in an enchanting country, by people who treated me wonderfully and by a club that, in my opinion, has a very great prognosis for the future,” he explained.
Ramos, who had already announced his departure on December 7, also said: “Life goes on and I want to thank the whole country for the affection, for the respect they showed me in the smallest details. And especially the fans, because from the first day of my arrival I felt supported and loved. Thank you to everyone who defended this shield with this passion, in the same way, all together. I wish you always the best. Thank you.” Mexico. Long live Mexico, taxi…! “A big kiss.”
Since his arrival, the 39-year-old defender, who was one of the four survivors of Spain’s World Cup victory in South Africa 2010 along with Raúl Albiol, Pedro Rodríguez and Juan Mata, played a total of 34 games in which he scored 8 goals, with his team being eliminated by Toluca in the Clausura quarter-finals and the Apertura semi-finals.
