In a recent interview, Lovren said that he still believed in his own strength. He also said that he was no worse than Ramos, Ramos only received a lot of recognition when he took advantage of cheap Real Madrid.

Lovren claimed he was 'one of the best defenders in the world' before the World Cup final. source

Lovren said: "I said I was one of the best defenders in the world, I thought I was doing something wrong, of course, sunspots I always say that I don't deserve one of the best in the world. I can say this. What? Is there a perfect one? "

"People always scratch your shortcomings. Sometimes I don't deserve hatred. You see Ramos? He made far worse mistakes than me, but he was at Real Madrid, when you made your mistake, but the team lost 5-1 and winning 5-2, no one will remember those mistakes. I was a little lucky, when I made a mistake, we lost 0-1, but I will stick to it, there is no mistake. You can do this step now. "

"I have never said that I am the best. This may be one of the five best people. But you see, who else plays the Champions League final and enters the World Cup final?"
