- The two best right backs in world football
First up is the right back position and I think the answer is clearly NOT OBVIOUS in this case as both are extremely good, extremely fit, extremely motivated and extremely competitive. One thing to note about both these defenders is that they both made their BIG money move (to Barcelona and Real Madrid) while playing at Sevilla.
For Sergio Ramos, I still remember the season where he scored a cracker of a long range free kick against Real Madrid and won the game for Sevilla. Next season, he was wearing the white shirt such was his impact. Sergio Ramos is 23 years old and already has played over 150 games for Real Madrid and is definitely one of those players who are looked upon as future Rauls for Real Madrid.
Daniel Alves on the other hand is 3 years Ramos’s senior and is equally as talented. I wanted him to come to Real Madrid for the simple reason that his arrival would have meant that Sergio Ramos would have moved in the central defense and Ramos Pepe pair would have been the best in Europe (assuming Ramos learns to keep his head). But, it was not to be and Daniel Alves signed for Barcelona (man I so wished Chelsea would have signed him, but they signed a pretty good right back themselves who goes by the name of Bosingwa).
Anyway, here are their individual stats.

I ll touch on few of these points briefly
SPEED:
Draw
Both of them a really really quick. There is one difference though. Daniel Alves runs with long fluid smooth strides (more like how Federer moves on the court, sorry for persistingwithFootballTenniscomparison)whereasSergioRamos
how can you give daniu alves better speed and dribbling????? are you blind??? ramos is proven to one of the fastest in world football, are u crazy??? and I don’t think that i need to talk about his dribbling skills which sometimes look exactly like cristiano ronaldos!! and his agility!! the only thing dani alves has over ramos is aggression and shooting….god you are one crazy person to deny stuff that stares you in the face
hi,
football is a very-very old and fantastic game.
thanks.
sergio ramos all day
for me sergio ramos is the best right back position in the world dan alves
Both are equally good but Ramos looks better physically, also Ramos has thebetter header.
in my opinion, in the right back position, alves can compete with ramos, but as a defender, ramos is better because he is more versatile, thus making him more valuable for the team, furthermore, the legendary maldini stated that ramos is his heir, so…
