Big news, but not that big. Sometime between the end of practice and the end of yesterday, Sergio Ramos decided to go to a beauty salon (he definitely goes to one of those rather than a barber shop) and chop off some of his luscious locks, and have his part moved from the center to the side, with accompanying bangs created. The result was, of course, posted on twitter (Sergio called it his new look).
I can’t say I’m a fan of the “new look.” For one, Sergio now looks like a million other boys in Spain (yes boys, not men, and Sergio is definitely a man), and it kind of screams “fashion victim.” And two, because it reminds me a lot of how he looked when he first came to Madrid, for the bangs and the length, and let’s face it, he wasn’t as hot as he is now back then (or as tattooed).
I guess we can take consolation in the fact that Sergio seems to like changing his hair a lot (he’ll take over for Guti in this department at Real Madrid) so in a couple of weeks he might have a new one that I like better.
And anyway, as long as he plays well, his hair takes a backseat to his performance for me.
In any case, the pressing question is, who took the picture that he posted on twitter? Judging by the reflection in his sunglasses, it appears to be a girl. And if it’s a girl, I think we all want to know more…
Keep reading for more from Madrid’s twitter fans yesterday…
Álvaro Arbeloa had a “fantastic” lunch with his “gran amigo” Filipe Luis, who, incidentally, was sporting one of Sergio Ramos’ old hairstyles. And of course, there was a picture to accompany the tweet. I guess they can now see a lot more of each other now that Filipe has moved to Madrid! They became good friends while playing for Real Madrid B; interestingly enough, both would go on to play for Depor after that.
Álvaro also responds to a tweet asking what Carvalho is like by responding that he’s “muy majo” (very nice).
And lastly, a picture of the four musketeers that wasn’t tweeted by Sergio or Álvaro? ¡Dios mío!
Maybe it was because José Mourinho wouldn’t have been very amused had they stopped the training session to ask him to take a picture of the four of them.
