As a character he talks to everybody on the team personally. He is a man who tries hard and wants to help the team very much. He's the perfect one for the job.
Berbatov's words of praise come after Ramos engineered a vibrant display against a lacklustre Wigan. He has now won three of his four games in charge but it is still too early to evaluate the impact he has had on the team. Changing manager usually has the effect of energising a team that are buoyed by a new routine but the football we played on Sunday, which was, at times, scintillating, was not uncommon when Martin Jol was in charge. In fact the Dutchman's record against teams in the bottom half of the table was impressive. Where he struggled was against teams in the top four and it is his team's performances against the likes of Liverpool, Man United and, perhaps most importantly, Arsenal that Ramos will be judged. Even Jermaine Jenas, who played particularly well at the weekend, felt that the question of Ramos' impact was a "difficult one" with the England midfielder at pains to stress that the previous manager was someone he respected.
The impression given by players like Berbatov and Jenas is that the new coach adopts a far more serious and business like approach than his predecessor. Perhaps one criticism of Jol is that the team spirit he garnered whilst at the club was perhaps too laid back, that he was too friendly to some members of the squad, making him more reluctant to drop them when their performances waned. It's no secret that Jol was a big admirer of players like Jenas and Paul Robinson and that he showed an impressive degree of loyalty towards these players when other managers who prefer a different approach, such as Sir Alex Ferguson, would not have been so generous. Though Jol should be praised for the spirit he instilled in the players Ramos' strict, no nonsense disciplinarian attitude may gain him more respect within the team than the Dutchman. Considering our current league position, that can only be a good thing.
