All these tackles were clean and not fouls. However, Ramos and Pepe knew when to foul players. They got lots of yellow and red cards but this scared future opponents so it gave them a mental advantage in the future as attackers were scared to dribble near them haha. However, when it comes to world-class defenders these 2 were 2 of the best. Not nice guys of football but they were winners. I prefer defenders like Van Dijk personally as he is very clean and rarely fouls anyone he had 3 yellow cards in 70 games. Ramos on the other hand will rather break his opponent before letting him win even if he gets 20 yellow cards a season. Both are good and it is amazing to see that each footballer has his own style and personality in his game
Pepe and Ramos mastered the dark arts of defending. They knew when to play dirty all for that W. They also defended beautifully with clean tackles and acrobatic clearances. One of the best legendary CB partnerships of all time.
Sergio Ramos 1m84, Pepe 1m87. Both was fast, acrobatic, but both was not so good in aerial defense, like the today pair of Liverpool giants. Pepe and Ramos was one of the best pair ever existed in the ground game, but not in the aerial. In the aerial game, the pair i must like are the Liverpool one. Well, all 4 of the back line are tall. Matip 1m95, Van Dijk 1m93, and its hard to head strike score against Liverpool because of that. Even the new Konaté, 1m95... USA are a nation that waste too many talented Central Backs or GoalKeepers in the sports basketball and armored rugby. And they dont know it. Their national team are weak because they divert their best talents to sports that are not the main team sport of the world and that unite the world.
@@TheArsenal21 so what? I just use Liverpool to mention one pair of central backs that are better in the only level Pepe and Ramos was not. Do you know a today pair better than the liverpoo? I mean pair. 2.
Pepe and Ramos duo vs Pique and Puyol duo, with Messi vs Ronaldo, during Mourinho vs Pep Era made the clásicos during that time next level intense. So much tension aggression and passion to beat the other. Love the content, keep them coming!
All of those challenges were clean even though they may have seemed like fouls. In football shoulder on shoulder contact is allowed and you can send people flying if you’re playing the ball.
@@MrBrouwerPower yeah you can. You cannot block them from advancing or push them from behind but what he talked is totally legal. Can’t use your arms to hold the player tho
@@MrBrouwerPower watch it in .25 speed and if you still think it’s a foul go brush up on your rules. he hooks the ball cleanly and makes a great challenge and then puts his body between it and the attacker to maintain possession by then the speed has sent them about 5 meters away from the ball giving his teammate the time and spaceto clear
As a Real Madrid fan, in that era having Ramos and Pepe and Casillas as keeper was like having a wall in our goal. Crucial to have a good defence to win matches in football
I am sure a Barcelona fan did not put this together. They are two of the best, 2 aggressive, athletic, take no prisoners central defenders. They are also walking red cards. One of all time greatest defense tandems. Another duo like that were Nesta and Maldini, just more composed and smooth.
Miss this duo man nobody’s ankles were safe if Pepe was on the field bro either the ball passes or the player passes but both ain’t goin through together but probably the dirtiest player lmao
Man if you got a straight line to the goal and you hear ramos shout "kill him" behind you, you know pepe about to eat you and spit the scraps out haha. Such a scary duo, Best time to be a real fan when CR7 was at his Best as well.
pepe and Ramos pretty much tried to kill Messi every time they played, thats why it was a shock to the world when ramos joined Messi at psg. he probably still tries to kill him during training
Pepe was always the last man standing...You gotta react to Pepe individually ..didn't have Ramos flair or goal ability but was the best defendsively and also the meanest defender of his generation
Hey guys can you react to Kylian Mbappè 2021/22 - Crazy Skills, Goals & Assists by Thiago Productions? He is one of the best young players rn and a joy to watch🔥💫
Love this man! Been watching you guys for a while now, keep up the good work man yall have my support. And dont forget soccer is a very very physical sport, alot of body vs body to shield the ball
Hello there! Your are not realizing how difficult is to stop a ball that comes right up from thi air, right in to your feet. If you guys try it by yourselves you are gonna see that when you put your feet to catch de ball it bounces far away. Hugs from Spain ❤️
it seems like they're playing dirty and super physical, well because it's true, they were sort of "dirty". in football you can be as physical as you want in defense. you can send the attackers falling or even flying down to the ground. but this only happens if the first contact is against the ball, not the player. Ramos and Pepe mastered this defensive style. they mostly have clean hit to the ball and send the defenders flying 😂. They were also feared by most attackers because they're very strong and you don't want to get hit by them. that's why when they're tackling most attackers started to get out of the way
They were for sure one of the most hated duo in football because how aggressive and dirty they were but couldn’t really hate on them because they were also one of the best duos to ever do it. The Opposition completely despised them but their fans absolutely cherished them. they were very slick with a lot of their mind games during a match. But they also didn’t really give two f’s if they got caught or if they took you out. They really lived by that saying “either the ball passes or you pass but never both”.
real madrid main defence were 4 .. ramos..pepe..marcelo..carvajal.. the thing is marcelo is the best freestyler defender ever he is the Ronaldinho of defence plus he and cristiano chemistry was like Jorden and rodmen ,, please react to marcelo cause what u see on neymar and ronaldinho u will see it in defence ... he is debatable best right back position ever on history ..... even tho am real madrid fan .. barca fans will agree he was magician letsgooooo dnnnssson
If Mookie loves defense yall should watch some goal line clearences. Always hype. Also fun fact about Pepe. He can grow a full on fro if he wanted to but choses to be bald because hes just built like that
That was xavi iniesta and messi running riot in classicos BUT what about the performance in other matches??? They were beasts. Puyol used to get destroyed by dimaria does that make him bad???
I didn't remember all that clean tackles from Pepe 😂😂 nice video guys, The best defender duo ever is Maldini and Nesta in AC Milan for my point of view but they were amazing
You guys should react to Djalminha! He’s a player probably most people wouldn’t know but he was one of the most skill-full players to ever grace the game. U won’t regret it. (Btw keep up the good work love your videos!)
Ay yoo Mookie gotta get u a plain ticket for next year when the new Bernabeu opens…shit is gonna be lit!! Y’all should react(if u guys haven’t) to the New Bernabeu Stadium video.
All of these are clean tackles..you have no idea when Ramos and Pepe want to play dirty...oh god there would be blood on the pitch..let me assure you that
Loved them as a centre half pairing.... Only thing that pissed me off about Pepe.... His play acting.... Dude could be in the movies..... He'd fall over and roll about like he'd been shot... With the slightest touch on him.... Saying that.. They were superb together.... HALA MADRID
So u understand the fouls and the cards more, a tackle is generally allowed and not a foul if the player gets to the ball cleanly first, before hitting the player, so even if u take the man out, if u get the ball first, its fair, you are also allowed shoulder to shoulder contact, equally if you take out the player before the ball its a foul, also if ur like manhandling the player, pulling them back, pulling their shirt, or there's any flying elbows or arms to the face or something they are all fouls, idk the exact rules for the cards as u jus learn what is and isn't a card thru watching the game but generally a yellow card can be given for especially hard challenges, late challenges on a player where the ball has been passed away, maybe when the player has gotten past u and you take the player out anyway to try stop or slow down the attacking play, also if the ref a player has made a few too many fouls in the game, a red card if for very dangerous tackles that can injure a player, when the player is flying in with studs up, diving in with 2 feet off the ground, and not really goin for the ball, also if your the last defender back and you take out the player to stop the from scoring, or generally denying a clear goal scoring opportunity by taking them out, or of course, getting 2 yellow cards, hope this helps cuz I seen they were very brief when u were learning about the fouls and cards before in a video
The thing is you can tackle hard so long as u touch all ball first before the man so yuh foot must connect to the ball first while tackling hard hard tackle ramos and pepe
