There are so many tattoos on their bodies and they are sometimes made so skillfully that it’s just right to take excursions. That's what we did.
Sergio Ramos, Spain national team
Count yourself
Someday the Spain defender will be exhibited in a gallery in Madrid. There are dozens of drawings and inscriptions on his body. There are lions, all sorts of evil spirits, as well as crosses, prayers ... In general, everything is as usual with football players. Except for one detail: Ramos is crazy about numbers.
|
Okay, he has a four - under this number he enters the field, okay seven - many consider it a lucky number. But somehow Sergio Ramos knocked out a few numbers on his hand. Until now, fans of the Spaniard are wondering what exactly they mean.
"32", "35", "90+", "19"... "All these numbers mean a lot to me," Sergio did not reveal the secrets. And his biographers took up deciphering. The easiest was with "90+" - so in football they refer to stoppage time, and it means that you should never give up. Ramos himself is true to this principle and scored a lot of goals just in stoppage time. "32" and "35" - the numbers under which Sergio played at Sevilla, when he had not yet moved to Real Madrid and was not one of the main stars Spanish football. More difficult with "19". So far, the main version is this: Sergio Ramos was so old when he made his debut in the Spanish national team. But if you have your own version, you can also offer it. For example, write to the address: Madrid, Avenida Concha Espina 1. Personally Sergio Ramos in tattooed hands.
Neymar, Brazil national team
All family on the body

Forearm right hand the name of Davi Lukka's son and the date of his birth are written ... Almost the whole family is together.
Neymar has many other tattoos - a cross, soccer ball and a crown, a tiger ... But, perhaps, it should be said separately about the drawing on the leg - a little boy, surrounded by slums, dreams of victories. Of course, this is Neymar himself - so to speak, an autobiographical tattoo.

Lionel Messi, Argentina national team
Grandma sees everything
They say that the Argentinean invented all his tattoos himself. If so, then many drawings hint at Leo's exclusivity. Jesus Christ in the crown of thorns - sort of like a reference to the divine essence, the crown - and so it is clear, Sagrada Familia - the temple of the Holy Family in Barcelona ... Somewhere in Argentina there is a church of Maradona. If Messi goes on like this, then a sect dedicated to him will appear.
|
But Messi has a couple of tattoos that give him an ordinary person. On his leg he has a drawing of his son's small hands, and on his shoulder blade there is a portrait of his grandmother. It was she who brought him to football, and Leo continues to thank the woman even after her death. Do you remember how Lionel celebrates goals? Raises thumbs to heaven and looks up. Once Messi admitted that this is how he refers to his grandmother.

Raheem Sterling, England
Rifle almost kicked out of the national team
One of the most talented players in the England national team, Raheem Sterling, recently had an image of an M16 rifle on his leg. When the activists of the organization "Mothers Against Guns" saw the drawing, they demanded to expel the player from the national team!
But these people are clearly not familiar with Sterling and his history. He was born in the suburbs of the capital of Jamaica, in a criminal area, where the chances of survival were sometimes equal to the number of guys who are in the same gang as you. Rakhim did not have time to feel this - his very small mother took him to England. But when Sterling was only two years old, his father was killed in Jamaica. Shot in the back.
Raheem later took an oath never to touch a gun - he only shoots balls. "I kick with my right foot, so the tattoo has a deeper meaning," Sterling explained his tattoo and promised that the image would be completed soon.

It's a tribute to my father," explains Neymar.

You need to enjoy every moment in life." Roman numeral IV - on the neck on the right side. “Four is four. There are four of us in the family, so this symbolizes unity. Although many managed to reveal other meanings, for example, that IV is similar to N - the first letter of my name” “Endless love” (Neverending love). "I keep the meaning of this tattoo a little secret," says Neymar. But journalists made the assumption that this is a reference to ex girlfriend Brazilian, Brune Marchesini. "Rafaella" (Rafaella) - on the right wrist. This is the name of Neymar's younger sister. "One of my first tattoos," admits Neymar. On the right shoulder, in fact, Raffaella herself is depicted.

"Shhh" (Shhh) - on the index finger. It is very understandable - by doing so, Neymar silences his critics. By the way, singer Rihanna has a similar tattoo.
