Sheet 122 The Return of the Prince (Part II)

Madrid is boiling!

In fact, from the moment it became known that Atletico Madrid's opponent in the quarter-final of the Champions League was Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga, the atmosphere in the city became a little different from usual.

It's not dignified, it's anticipation, a very bland but lingering feeling.

For the people of the city, Raúl, Madrid, they are one. "Raul, Madrid" is not just a talk, it is a memory of a generation.

On this day, countless people walked out of their homes, took out the slogans, banners, and portraits they had prepared, and took to the streets. Real Madrid fans and Atletico Madrid fans rarely disagreed on one thing, and on the day of Raul's return to Madrid, they gathered in the streets at the same time to wait for the prince who was about to return home.

Yes, they will never forget the light figure in white, dancing like a fairy, they will never forget the prince's affectionate kiss after scoring a goal, and they will never forget his unafraid shut-up gesture in the face of nearly 100,000 people after scoring a goal in the first game against Barcelona.

Of course, they will never forget the lonely figure of Raul leaving Madrid.

Real Madrid owes the great player a farewell ceremony, and now, the prince is back, and they want to pay tribute to the legend in their own way.

The bus carrying all the members of Schalke 04 came slowly from far and near.

Countless fans poured up, they gathered around the bus, patted the surface of the bus, shouted loudly, shouted loudly, and many fans were already full of tears.

"Raul! Raul! Raul! ”

"Welcome home, our prince!"

"We never leave, we will always be by your side. Just like you, never left, always here! ”

There is a feeling called memory. There is a kind of love called deep love.

The reason why football is full of charm is because of its emotion and warmth.

It is undeniable that the world of football is cruel, when the years are gone, when the youth is gone, many good times are gone.

But football is also full of warmth, because those beautiful moments are hard to forget.

Right now. That's it.

Raul, who had been silent, was finally moved, and the moment countless fans flocked to the bus, he could no longer force himself to keep his mind calm.

He opened the window and stuck most of his body out.

The crowd's shouts grew louder again, and Raul waved his hand and said thank you.

"I'm back."

Raul shouted.

He was greeted by the cheers and roars of the mountains and tsunamis like a tidal wave.

"Yes, our prince is back!"

"You never left!"

"You're here forever and haven't left!"

In this already boiling city, screams and shouts are always lingering. And the tears of the fans and Raul are also the most touching scenes in this picture.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Calderón Stadium is as hot as ever, with nearly 50,000 seats filled for fans. Unlike usual, Atletico fans are not as good as they always have. The entire stadium was filled with slogans and banners of their blessing to the team, and in the huge stands on all sides, many fans held portraits of Raul and signs full of blessings to Raul.

If it weren't clear, this was Calderón Stadium. The uninformed would think this is Raul's home turf.

However, it is not an exaggeration to say that Raul is the home of Raul, after all, he is a superstar who has come out of the Academy of Atletico Madrid and is the pride of the city and the country. And before the game. Many Real Madrid fans have also gotten a lot of tickets through their own channels, and they also want to cheer for the returning Raul - but this feeling is really weird, on the territory of the rivals in the same city, cheering for their former golden boy, and the sworn enemies around them, they are also cheering and cheering, this feeling, this sourness, is really inexplicable.

When Raul came out, all the fans in the stadium rallied to applaud the former Spanish golden boy with their cheers and applause.

"Although this is Calderón, I want to say that they are just as deep in love for Raul!"

"He's a great player, he's a bullfighter who never gives up, he's brave and fearless! He deserves a standing ovation from everyone! ”

"Yes, in my opinion, he is the greatest player in the history of Spanish football, there is no one!"

The commentators at the scene, like the fans, gave Raul their admiration and applause. As they say, in Spain, Raul is a player who deserves everyone's respect, and his status can be shaken by no one, even if he is no longer in Madrid.

Not only the fans, but this Champions League match also attracted many big names, such as the king of Spain, Juan. Carlos I, a big fan of Real Madrid and a fan of Raul, was also in the stands as the head coach of the Spanish national team, Bosque, and Pep Guardiola, Baldano, Guti and ......

These people were once Raul's friends, rivals, and mentors, and they all wanted to see for themselves how their former friends did when Raul returned to Spain - or rather, it didn't matter how Raul played in this game, the important thing was that they came, and they only came for Raul's return!

A lot of Schalke 04's players were dumbfounded. Although they have long known Raul's status in this city, and when they entered Madrid, they also saw the scene of Raul's crazy pursuit by fans, but now this scene still makes them very "thrilled".

Yes, it's thriller. On the turf of the opponents of the game, not only did there be countless fans holding Raul's portrait and cheering, but also so many big people in person, they were really shocked to the point of being overwhelmed.

Huntelaar looked at Raul, who was constantly waving to the stands on the field, and sighed with a smile: "This is Raul, he is the master here!" ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"This is Raul. Gonzalez. Raul. Madrid, really, is not an empty phrase. ”

On the pitch, the Atletico Madrid players were also shocked, and if it wasn't for the fact that this was their home stadium, they would even think that their fans had defected.

Juanfran is a player who came out of the Real Madrid academy, and everyone knows very well that although Juanfran is now playing for Atletico Madrid, he has always regarded himself as a Real Madrid man in his heart.

Raul has left a number of records in Real Madrid's youth team that no one has been able to break yet, and in the hearts of these players who have come out of the Castilla academy, Raul is their idol and their god.

He looked at the figure of the former captain, his eyes were also a little red, and he kept clapping his hands.

Non-Spanish players like Courtois and Godin don't understand this sentiment, so Juanfran seems to them to be incredible.

Gabi also clapped in the direction of Raul, explaining by the way: "Although he has not led the Spanish national team to win any major honors, but in the hearts of most people, the national team with Raul is the real Spanish national team." In this country, he is the uncrowned king, he is the spiritual sustenance and spiritual leader of all fans. ”

Everyone nodded as if they didn't understand, but turned their heads to see people like Cork, Moya, and Raul. Spanish players like Garcia are all looking at each other with a fanatical face.

"Gonzalez has been my idol since I was a child, and I grew up watching him play! I'm his fan! In the hearts of those of us, the dream is to one day be like Raul and become a hero of Spanish football! ”

Cork said this, continuing to applaud wildly.

Although he may not be able to see the idol, he wants to applaud and cheer. His dream as a child was to one day be able to fight alongside Raul, and now that dream is half of the realization - it is a blessing not to be able to fight side by side, but to be able to compete with him.

Qin Shou also stared blankly at the boiling Calderon Stadium, but his heart couldn't stop surging with enthusiasm and pride - being a player and doing Raul's job is really worth this life.

This is the real football, this is the real superstar!

Give people strength, move people, give people faith!

Simeone's face was a little unpleasant, which was what he was most worried about before the game, Raul's prestige and influence in Spain was so strong that not only the fans, but also his own players had developed a feeling of admiration for him.

With that mentality, it's hard to say whether the players will be able to give their best in the game.

Simeone walked into the pitch himself, interrupted the players' thoughts, and under his reprimand, the players had to withdraw their gaze and start warm-up activities under the guidance of the manager.

The game will be played on time local time, and at 7 o'clock, the players of both teams have finished their warm-up preparations and returned to their dressing rooms.

Schalke 04 manager Magath stopped Raul before he entered the dressing room.

"Gonzalez, what do you think?"

It's asking Raul how he feels "coming home" and how he feels.

Under Magath, Raul is his most relied on player, and Raul has lived up to expectations, constantly destroying the city for Schalke 04.

"It feels good to be home." Raul smiled and walked side by side with Magath, the relationship between the two is on the surface a coach and a player, but in fact, the two are more of a relationship between friends, "I think I am also in good shape." ”

Magath didn't say anything more, nodded and entered the locker room.

Raul paused and looked back at the green field outside the players' tunnel that was unusually bright due to the lights. He clenched his fists, turned back, and then entered the locker room as well.

His football career has changed because of Atletico Madrid, and his return will surely be remembered here!
