The Real Madrid defender is comfortable in his position

Sergio Ramos is training with Spain at Las Rozas Football City in the outskirts of Madrid. On Thursday they will travel to Reykiavik to face Iceland in a Euro 2008 qualifier.

Sergio Ramos with SpainThe tribute the Spanish national team is preparing in the memory of the late Antonio Puerta is a well concealed secret. The Sevilla player left his mark on the national team despite being called up only once by coach Luis Aragonés, who wanted him on the team for the forthcoming clashes. "It will be a beautiful tribute," said Ramos, "Unfortunately, Puerta could only play with Spain once, but at least he was lucky to have the experience. It will be nice to pay him tribute."

"It is important for Spain to win several games in a row. We hardly see each other, but it only takes us a couple of days to blend. This benefits us on the pitch. Let's hope we continue winning more matches."

"Winning the next two games wouldn't qualify us for the 2008 Euro, but it would be a great step towards being in the competition. We must remain calm because our first game will be away from home and we have to earn points."

"I changed positions a lot on Real Madrid last year, but Schuster seems to prefer me as a right back and I feel more comfortable with that because it makes it easier for me to attack. I've always liked that position, as I have always been a right back with Spain. I hope I don't disappoint those who have faith in me."
