Being a Hero often means being exceptional at one thing. Being Ramires meant excelling at everything. Box to box he went, running every phase of the game—expertly reading attackers, endlessly pursuing opponents, effortlessly carrying the ball forward. And just when you thought you’d seen every facet to his game, he’d add another.
His unforgettable chip in the UEFA Champions League epitomised his ever-evolving abilities, hanging in the air for an age before dropping in behind the keeper. It was a goal that any striker would be proud to call their best ever. But for Ramires, it was just another part of being an incredibly versatile player. He made sure his trophy cabinet was just as well rounded, housing every domestic honour in England alongside a UEFA Champions League title he hoisted with Chelsea in 2011-12. Ramires proved that there’s more to being an Ultimate Team Hero than being the best around—it’s being the best all-around. |
