Football is more than defending, even for CBs. Sergio Ramos has played a pivotal role in 4 CL titles. Often scoring huge goals, which is inherently more valuable than superior defending btw...As I'm aware that Ramos is good defenders but I think he is only the far most overrated defenders in history. He's like Dani Alves of CB who get into the world's best XI for years in position when there are a couple of defenders who is better than him at one point. In the next 20 years, people would be talking about him as if he's best CB in history based on his honors.
Ramos would be more highly rated in term of his defending if he wasn't committing a lot of fouls and didn't get red.
Just watch difference Rio and Ramos in term of defending. Rio hasn't committed foul in 40 games for almost year and kept a lot of clean sheets, he's always clean and making defending look so easy, I'd feel more confident with him leading the defense. I get the same vibes with VVD. Do I get the same vibes with Ramos? No, he looks like he has mistakes in every game, doing reckless challenge/foul due to his poor positioning and poor reading of the games.
Also, you talk about world best XI, honestly, if there was a RB you's rather have over Dani Alves because of defence, i don't what to say. Sergio's impact on his team and its success speaks for itself
