Ramires

[Barbara 15,149]

I used the image in an article, but I suppose not everyone reads those, so I'm posting the charts in the players' thread for those who might be interested.

The green and blue correspond the players's movement without the ball, the yellow corresponds to tackles, interceptions and prompt passes and the red ball possession

@bluefire: mind sharing the link to that article?

He said: "Mourinho is a manager that needs no further comments, I will learn a lot from him. Which player does not dream of working with a manager like him?

"Mourinho is an angry person, but if we do well what he asks, we will please him.

“English football is always hard, the big clubs sign a lot of players and Chelsea are no different.

I thought Mourinho said that he was calmer?!

Think Ramires might have meant something like Mourinho being a 'demanding' person as opposed to an actual angry one. Mistranslated possibly.

Yes, that was what I was highlighting, as I don't think Ramires would have meant to say that! Agreed.

[Stingray 9,441]

yea but saying he has the worst first touch in Brazil.. c'mon. Thats too harsh.

He has the worst touch in Brazil after @rmpr and @bluefire .... I think @dion actually has a better one.

Better?

Ramires believes Jose Mourinho can help Chelsea launch title challenge

Im beginning to change my mind about the all DM issue. I think Ramires can do the job next to someone like MVG who also knows the job of being a holder. Not like Modric for example. I think Mou can turn Ramires to a more responsible player, who sits at the back more and make his runs with a better timing. Lampard was never a very good partner for him, Lamps doesnt sits at the back and always like to put himself in dangerous positions, but they still did an ok job when it comes to defense.

DDR can still be a good edition instead of Mikel, and Gustavo, but i think we could do without them. Buying Khedira would be realy stupid, Ramires's better.

But rammy + khedira= insane engine room

One of the greatest goals ever. Honestly.

One of the greatest surprises also, I dont think anyone was expecting Ramires to flick it over the keeper.

Definitely. Plus given the fact we lost Cahill and JT got sent off AND we were 2-0 down... All these factors make it that great. That goal just warms my heart every time I see it.

It was an unbelievable moment that will live looooong in the memory.

The master of getting his toe to the ball before the onrushing challenge

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

When he split Milan open, was one on one with keeper, and chose to play Lukaku in instead I clapped.

Absolute selfless player and great lad. I hope he has a magical season, and gets to play in the world cup at home next year.

I hate seeing him under-rated because he's not technically all there. he's going to be vital for us especially in a Mourinho team.

The obsession with footballing footballers is beyond annoying.

[Spike 12,049]

Slap him in a three man midfield and you'll see what he is capable of. Smack him in a two man midfield with someone like Mikel and you'll see two players that don't look the part.

Regarding that chance, it's nice to see Ramires being selfless there but given that it was a great opportunity not to be missed and knowing that he can score himself, he should have netted it rather than trying to assist someone else. Missing chances like this could come and haunt us back in competitive matches.
