Spain Support David De Gea - Sergio Ramos

 

Sergio Ramos insists Spain's Euro 2016 preparations have not been affected by the allegations surrounding David de Gea. The 2008 and 2012 European champions were rocked on Friday by reports the Manchester United stopper had been sent home from the tournament following accusations about his private life.

The 25years old has since addressed the media to quash the rumours, branding the allegations as lies before reiterating he was focused solely on helping Spain win a third consecutive continental crown and Ramos has mirrored his compatriot's thoughts, maintaining the mood in the Spain camp has been unaltered, before setting his sights on winning the tournament.

He said “It was not very nice news to receive but obviously when you are with a team-mate he has the support of the whole group. The group has to support a player through a difficult situation. David has already spoken himself so we're not going to say any more about it. We are very motivated for the championship to begin, to defend our title and play the best we can possibly play. I don't think the controversy has changed anything. We had a good atmosphere in the squad and we still have a good atmosphere in the squad”
