Ramos won't discuss Mourinho
Posted Wednesday, September 26, 2012 by ESPN
Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has refused to be drawn on his reportedly strained relationship with manager Jose Mourinho.
The Spain international was surprisingly dropped from Mourinho's starting XI for last week's UEFA Champions League 3-2 victory over Manchester City. The decision prompted speculation that the 26-year-old defender had fallen out of favour with Mourinho.
However, Ramos was restored to the starting line-up on Monday as Madrid ran out 2-0 winners against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
"I don't know whether the decision to bench me against Manchester City was a punishment. These things are coaching matters," Ramos told AS.
"I'm talking about Real Madrid and what's in my blood. I will not discuss things that happen within the club.
"I really want to keep helping the team and doing everything to play my part.
Everyone likes to play and I'm happy to have come back to the team against Rayo."
Ramos signed for Madrid in the 2005/06 season and has over 200 victories under his belt since arriving at the Bernabeu.
