New Ramos appears in Real Madrid’s squad for Chelsea match in Champions League

Rafa Marin is considered the main surprise for Ancelotti in Real Madrid’s squad in the Champions League quarter-final second leg match against Chelsea, which will be held on Tuesday evening at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Andalusian central defender is one of the most outstanding talents in Raul Castilla’s team and one of the greatest talents in “La Fabrica”.

Despite the fact that his name will be new to many, Rafa Marin has been in the first-team orbit for several months and is one of the most used players by Ancelotti. The Andalusian centre-back is one of the most distinguished players in the reserve team and was recognized a few months ago as the white team’s future fourth centre-back.

Given the absences in the defensive line, the Real Madrid player Castilla was chosen to fill this gap in the team and be a substitute for Nacho and Alaba in the white defence. A call-up that surprised the player since Ancelotti called him to replace Vallejo at the last minute due to Corona.

Rough Diamonds

Rafa Marin is one of the rising talents of Real Madrid Castilla, led by Raul this season. The Andalusian central defender stands out for his 1.91-meter length, speed and cleanliness in the interception. Although he is right-handed, the player handles his legs perfectly and allows him to play on both sides.

The Spanish footballer is only 19 years old and has a promising future. Despite his young age, Rafa Marin is a very physical and strong defender in the air, both offensively and defensively. In addition, he is a skilled player in taking the ball out with good touch, which is very valuable today.

At Real Madrid, we are pleased with his performance and the club is considering including him in the first team for next season. The player has already received several offers to go out on loan this season, although he has decided to continue at Castilla and continue to develop as a Real Madrid player.

The new Ramos

Comparisons are inevitable in this regard, but both players are of the same origin and have very similar characteristics. His determination on the ball and leadership makes him stand out from the crowd and reminds many of what Sergio Ramos was like at Real Madrid.

In fact, Rafa Marine arrived from Seville in 2016 and was gradually burning white until it reached the top. The Spanish central defender is one of the most exciting projects in the white team and they want him to have more and more of a presence in the elite.

According to Jules, he is a player who does not forget where he grew up and whenever he can, he takes advantage and goes to Guadajoz in Seville. There he likes to live a quiet life, away from football and oblivious to the pressures of being at Real Madrid.

In addition, his move to the Spanish capital has helped his family financially and thus improve his family’s quality of life. Therefore, Rafa Marin is an example of sacrifice and work that has been rewarded with calls like on Tuesday, where he could even debut in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Defense: Carvajal, Alaba, Nacho, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy, Rafael Marin.
