      Not really praised, just like a funny thing to note about him and his playing style.

      He certainly is a very dirty player, but it’s undeniable that even with the red cards, his presence on the field is tremendous. If you have a team that can fill in the occasional hole of a suspension by Ramos, like Real Madrid did, he shines through.

      Kinda like Romero right now, except Spurs don’t have the depth to cover for his suspensions.

        Yea, Ramos’ recklessness and aggression was part of the reason he was so good. The man went to war every single game for better or worse. His red card record is a byproduct of that. It’s not a bug, it’s intentional design lol.

      He shouldn’t be. Imo people consider him one of the greats because of his leadership on the pitch and his goalscoring ability. His defending is subpar compared with other defenders.
