Ramsdale Earns Respect with Heartfelt Comments on England’s Number Two Spot
Aaron Ramsdale has once again won over many fans with his genuine and humble words on being England’s second-choice goalkeeper behind Jordan Pickford.
The 26-year-old, who had a tough season with Arsenal, opened up about his situation and revealed that he’s been working hard to remain positive. Despite being in a difficult position, Ramsdale showed great sportsmanship and maturity by praising Pickford for his impressive performance at Euro 2024.
"Out of a population in England of 60 million or whatever it is, I’m living all of their dreams. And then there is one man living my dream on the pitch, and that one person is doing a hell of a job," Ramsdale said.
The comments resonated with fans, who praised Ramsdale for his humble nature and willingness to acknowledge Pickford’s superior performance.
Here’s how fans on social media reacted to Ramsdale’s comments:
One fan tweeted, "You’re an amazing human being, Aaron Ramsdale. Your maturity and humility are truly inspiring!"
Another fan added, "He’s an excellent goalkeeper and an even better person! #GarethSouthgate #EnglandFootball"
Aaron Ramsdale’s Call for a National Holiday
Ahead of England’s Euro 2024 opener against Serbia, Ramsdale made another interesting comment, suggesting that the Prime Minister declare a week-long national holiday if England wins the tournament.
Speaking on the YouTube channel That’s Football, Ramsdale said, "It has got to be a national holiday hasn’t it… for a week, because nobody is working."
However, it’s worth noting that a national holiday would come with a significant financial burden. According to the BBC, a 2010 House of Commons library report estimated the cost of an extra bank holiday at £2.9 billion.
While the idea of a national holiday might be exciting, it’s essential to consider the potential impact on the economy. Nevertheless, the sentiment behind Ramsdale’s suggestion is hard to argue with.
