Aaron Ramsdale: “I suffer when I don’t play at Arsenal”

The goalkeeper position is a lonely position as many goalkeepers are unable to cope with the competition in this position, especially if someone else leaves them on the bench.

Aaron Ramsdale, who took over from Arsenal in the summer of 2023, also falls into this category David Raya from Brentford, his appearances have declined, with the Spaniard now considered the Gunners’ main goalkeeper and has already made six appearances in the Premier League and Champions League since mid-September, when he took the gloves home.

“Whether it’s me or David playing, we have to have the ability to concentrate on the game, but at the same time it’s strange. We have to come to terms with it and that’s what we do“, the 25-year-old national player for the “Three Lions” first remarked.

Ramsdale, who saw that Southgate had not named him in the England squad for the games against Italy and Australia, added: “We work with Raya in an absolutely professional manner” and concludes with a reference to how he copes psychologically with the whole situation: “There are days when I go to training and I’m down because of the situation, but he helps me up. For whatever reason, there may be a day when he is down and even though I am suffering and hurting from not playing, I have to get up and be able to push him to perform“.
