Ever since his disastrous performance at the European Cup in 2004, he had been under scrutiny and had developed a habit of not easily crossing the halfway line since then.
Joe Cole received the ball and quickly twisted his body, his right foot sending the ball powerfully towards the left flank of the front field.
The ball cut diagonally across half the field, heading straight for the back of Real Madrid's defense.
"Don't be afraid, let's hold steady!"
Ramos shouted.
In front of the goal, only he and Pepe remained, as both full-backs had joined the attack.

Pepe and Ramos split up to act, Ramos clenched his teeth and charged towards the ball.
