Chelsea midfielder Ramires happy to avoid spotlight

Chelsea midfielder Ramires is happy to avoid the spotlight.

The Brazilian has been a key player for manager Jose Mourinho this season.

Ramires told the London Evening Standard: "I'm a very shy person. I like to be in my own space. It's hard but I have always been a calm person and maybe that has helped me manage different situations. I have always been down to earth but I hope to stay the same and that it will help me have a great career.

"It doesn't really bother me that I don't get much attention. I'm not a vain person and I like to keep my focus. Obviously a lot of people talk about players like Neymar because the things he does are very impressive.

"Also because I'm shy and don't give a lot of interviews I'm not so involved in marketing and don't get to appear as much. But I just have to do my job well and concentrate on what I have to do."
