Jacobo Ramon Thanks Cesc Fabregas for Spain Call-Up After Leaving Real Madrid
Jacobo Ramon has expressed his gratitude to Cesc Fabregas for his pivotal role in earning his first senior call-up to the Spain national team, stating that the decision of Como to sign him from Real Madrid has proven to be a wise one.
As reported by AS, the 21-year-old centre-back learned about his inclusion in the national squad from coach Luis de la Fuente through a message from his Como teammate Assane Diao.
“Coming in here for the first time is a huge honour, and I’m really proud to be with the Selección,” Ramon said at Las Rozas prior to the team’s departure for Prague. He recalled the moment he received the news: “I was at home and Assane Diao messaged me telling me to look at my phone. He sent me a photo of the list, and at first I couldn’t believe it.”
Turning to his new club environment, Ramon stated, “If I’m here, it’s thanks to the faith he’s shown in me and what I’m doing with Como. I want to keep going down this path.” Having left Real Madrid for Como last summer, Ramon has quickly established himself as a key player under Fabregas. Como currently sits fourth in Serie A and achieved a historic 9-1 victory at Lens in the Champions League last week.
“I left Real Madrid to carve out a place for myself at the top level. I can’t say I’ve reached my goal, but I’m on the right path,” he added, acknowledging Fabregas’s early support. “Cesc believed in me straight away. He explained the project to me, and his way of seeing football suits my qualities perfectly. I’m really grateful to him.”
