There are stars without which you cannot imagine their representation. Like Spain without Sergio Ramos.

“Due to injuries, he could not train properly with the national team. It was a difficult decision, but it is mainly a team, “coach Luis Enrique explained why he omitted the 35-year-old quarterback in his nomination.

“It hurts me not to represent my country at the European Championships. But in this case, it is better to rest, fully recover and return in full form next season, “said Sergio Ramos.

EURO 2021

The European Football Championship, which was originally scheduled to be played a year ago, it starts on June 11 and ends on July 11.

“I spent a lot of stupid months, the whole season was atypical. Every day I fought and worked on body and soul to be 100% fit for Real and the national team. But things don’t always go the way you want, “Ramos complained.

The Spanish defensive star is not the only football superstar who will not play at EURO. Whether for health reasons or because they did not fit into the nomination of national team coaches, many rosters are missing from the rosters … Or they are just unlucky that their country did not make it to this year’s tournament at all.

Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus Turín, Itálie)

Squadra Azzurra without Gigi in the gate? Unthinkable until recently! But you can’t stop age … He caught the current season in the colors of the Old Lady and at the age of 43 years and 104 days he became the oldest goalkeeper of the Italian league, who caught a penalty. He ends up in Juventus, although he has not yet announced the end of his career, younger goalkeepers are already in the national team.

Erling Haaland (Dortmund, Norway)

In just twenty years, the Star Gunner became the top scorer of last year’s Champions League, breaking records. He scored forty-one goals during the forty-one matches of the whole year. But Norway did not advance to the championship, so the gunner Dortmund has a holiday …

Edin Džeko (AS Roma, Bosnia and Herzegovina)

He is as unlucky as Haaland, his country did not make it to the championship. He played at least at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Seven goals in the last season of the Italian league is significantly below the standard of an exteplical gunner, but in the tournament he would still be one of the contenders for the crown of the king of shooters.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan, Sweden)

At the age of 39, he would be one of the oldest players in the championship, but at the same time undoubtedly one of the biggest stars. The renowned gunner was among the chosen Swedish coach Janne Andersson, but in the end the attacker apologized for his injury and did not expand the balance of sixty-two goals in one hundred and eighteen matches.

Isco (Real Madrid, Spain)

Representation with the nickname La Furia Roja without a single representative of Real Madrid? Impossible! And yet, no representative of the White Ballet fit into the nomination of coach Luis Enrique … Not even an offensive midfielder, a four-time Champions League winner who was not one of Coach Zidane’s key men in the club.

Jesse Lingard (West Ham, Anglie)

One of the opponents of the Czech team has a rich selection, yet the absence of the 28-year-old midfielder is a surprise. During a successful spring, he was a guest from Manchester United in West Ham, in 16 competitive matches for Kladivář he scored 9 goals and 5 assists. Nevertheless, coach Gareth Southgate did not include him in the nomination.

Jan Oblak (Alético Madrid, Slovenia)

The 28-year-old star goalkeeper has long been Samir Handanovic’s double in Slovenia’s national team, and when he pushed his way to number one, the national team from southern Europe has not qualified for any major tournament since 2010.

Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid, Spain)

The defender is a two-time European champion, world champion and has played 180 matches for the national team, losing only four matches to the world record holder in the number of starts of the Egyptian Ahmad Hasan. He hasn’t missed a single major tournament since the 2006 World Cup. He played four times in a row at the World Championships, three times in a row at the European Championships … The eighth will not add due to a long injury.

Marco Reus (Dortmund, Germany)

Captain Borussia’s football role model was Tomáš Rosický. With the national team, he became world champion in 2014, this year he helped Dortmund to the Champions League or to win the German Cup. However, coach Joachim Löw did not include a versatile 32-year-old midfielder in the nomination.

Marc André ter Stegen (Barcelona, ​​Germany)

The 29-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper was supposed to be a substitute for long-time number one Manuel Neuer, but in mid-May he had to have knee surgery and thus lost the opportunity to represent at the European Championships. The 25-time national team member was a member of the German team at the 2016 European Championships and the 2018 World Championships.

Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool, Nizozemsko)

Captain Oranje gave up the start of the championship. The 29-year-old Liverpool defender preferred to rehabilitate his knee before the top tournament, in which he tore his front cruciate ligament in October during a league match with Everton. Since then, he has not appeared in any match and is working hard to return to the lawn.
