Sergio Ramos can become the best defender in the world, according to former AC Milan and Italy defender Paolo Maldini.
The left-back, who spent his entire career at the San Siro, is one of the most respecte defenders of all time and his words of praise will come as a boost to Ramos.
Speaking to Madrid-based daily Marca, Maldini said Ramos has all the attributes to become the best in the world, describing him as physically and technically brilliant.
But he warned him that in order to be considered the best, Ramos has a few mental issues to overcome.
Maldini said: “Sergio Ramos has everything to become the best defender in the world, if he is not already. He is very close, together with Thiago Silva, but he must perfect some things to be the undisputed number one.
“He must be ambitious and work more in his head, because on the physical and technical sides he already has plenty. I am sure that Carlo Ancelotti will be a big help for him in putting the final touches to this.
“He can play in various positions at the back, centre-half and full-back, but to be the best centre-half he must always play a perfect game. Always.”
