Sergio Ramos and Nacho: Luis Enrique's double standards with the two Real Madrid players to avoid taking them to Euro 2020

Luis Enrique has decided to do without Sergio Ramos, captain of Spain, and Nacho Fernández, a footballer who has completed 90 minutes in 21 of the last 24 games that Real Madrid has played, for the European Championship. On the other hand, he has preferred to take Laporte, Eric García and Diego Llorente for the central position. In addition to Pau Torres, something that was within all logic.The numbers do not deceive and they say that Luis Enrique has led the centrals who in his opinion are the best for Spain to perform in the Eurocup, although they are not the ones who have made the best season, as reflected in the statistics. Nacho Fernández improves the numbers of all the centrals, while Sergio Ramos only has worse numbers than Laporte, despite the fact that the selection ensures that “he has not been able to compete in the right conditions.” The French centralized recently nationalized with Spain will debut with the national team after seeing how Didier Deschamps was not about to summon him. This season, Laporte has played 27 of the 60 games that Manchester City has played to date, as he still has to play the Champions League final, where he could not be a starter. Therefore, he has played 45% of the matches that the English have played. Translating his stakes into minutes, the figure drops to 42%. Eric Garcia’s numbers are even worse. He has participated in 12 of the 60 games that the team led by Pep Guardiola has played and only 16% of the minutes. Lastly, Diego Llorente’s stats at Leeds United don’t improve Real Madrid players either. He has played in 15 of the 39 games (38% of the duels) and has added 1,204 minutes, which translates into 34%.It is true that an abductor injury kept him away from the pitch for several weeks. Nacho Fernández’s numbers in 2021 are spectacular. It was difficult for him to have prominence at the beginning of the season, but the injuries that Real Madrid has suffered in defense have allowed him to play many minutes and the vast majority in important games, where the whites played the League and the Champions League. In total, the youth squad has participated in 33 of the 52 games, which is equivalent to 63% of the games. In addition, he has completed 59% of the minutes Sergio Ramos, more goals and assists Finally, Sergio Ramos, the great absence from the list, also has better numbers than Eric García and Diego Llorente and not much worse than Laporte. Despite the injuries, which have only allowed him to play five games in all of 2021 and have had to undergo surgery to cure the ailment he suffered in the knee, he has played 21 of the 52 games that the whites have played, which equates to 40% of the encounters. On the other hand, he has completed 38% of the minutes. In addition, Sergio Ramos has scored four goals, while Laporte and Diego Llorente have two goals, Nacho has one and Eric García none. In addition, the captain of Real Madrid and the captain of Alcalá have given an assist, something that none of the others have been able to do.
