Sevilla defender Bade: Ramos plays like an on-field coach

Sevilla defender Loic Bade admits Sergio Ramos is making a huge on-field difference.

Bade says the veteran centre-half acts like an on-field manager during games.

“Sergio is like a second coach in the group. For me he is the best defender in the history of football. I work and try to do it just like him.

“I listen to him a lot," said Bade.

On new coach Diego Alonso, Bade also said: "The biggest difference for me is with the ball. We play more with the ball. He says it's okay to push high, but if we always push later we're going to be tired.

"So we have to know how to have the ball and with him we work a lot with the ball. I think it's a good thing for us. More similar to Sampaoli? No, he is not similar.

"That we have the ball, yes, the same, but in a different game."
