Chapter 162: The Situation of Real Madrid's Legend (First Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Everyone is saying, "Raul, for the future and revival of Real Madrid, you sacrifice yourself to fulfill your ego ()!" "Raul, you are old, and it is time to consider making room for young people......" "Raul, as long as you are willing to retire, the position of the club's top management, except for the chairman, you can choose!" "Raul, please recognize the reality and accept the fate of being a substitute......" "Raul, this Spain has won the European Cup and the World Cup without you. So, without you, this Real Madrid may have achieved the Champions League 10 crowns? ”
But no one ever considered Raul's own mood ().
Whatever the purpose, Raul has a deep affection for the team he has played for more than a decade, and he feels that as the captain, he should be dedicated to everything he does for the team.
Ball tyrant? I'm the leader in the locker room, who will do those things if I don't do them?
Fill someone's shoes? I was going to play as a substitute last season, so I didn't say anything to the outside world, did I? I didn't have a problem with the club, did I?
Ronaldo and Kaka? No problem, I'm friends with them, they're great people to get along with, and so am I!
I really just want to stay at Real Madrid......
Not long after Mourinho arrived, Raul announced his unconditional support for the new manager in the media, saying that "I am ready to play as a substitute. Bench? For me, that's not a problem at all! ”
Cristiano. Ronaldo's fans breathed a sigh of relief. Kaka's fans breathed a sigh of relief, and even the fans of Higuain and Benzema breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Raul's fans burst into tears - Raul, Raul, you are a living legend of Real Madrid, you are the proud flag flying forever over the Bernabeu, and now you are willing to be a substitute, what a huge determination you need to make for you who are as proud as a prince! Although they all say that this is the normal metabolism of a team, it is an inevitable law. Can...... Why do we feel so sad?
They were sad and felt that Raul had put on such a low posture, so he could still stay at Real Madrid, right?
Didn't Mourinho also say: "Me and Raul? We can get along perfectly well without any problems. I have a lot of respect for him, he's a legend of Real Madrid. In addition, he has problems with other players...... Ah, we'll talk about that then......"
Raul fans in the outside world are still fantasizing that Raul and Mourinho will put on a good show that will reconcile, after all, he is the head snake of Real Madrid, and if the outsider Mourinho wants to control the dressing room and integrate the team as soon as possible, without Raul's cooperation, it will be difficult to move an inch (). If Mourinho is a smart man, he should work with Raul......
But they all forgot that there was another way to solve this matter. That's ...... Simply kicked Raul away.
So in fact, many people in Real Madrid already know that Raul's days in this team can really only be counted down.
Those who are well-informed have naturally started to contact Raul for a long time - of course, in fact, it is actually contact with Raul's agent.
Among them, the current dominant team is Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga. The team temporarily has a leading position in Raul's mind due to the relationship of German player Metzeld in the Real Madrid team.
Metzelder boasted very well about both the Bundesliga and Schalke 04, and even said that if Raul was interested, he was willing to match Raul, and even acted as a translator!
Just when Raul was about to fall in love with Schalke 04, a phone call came from Italy.
Raul, who picked up the phone, was a little surprised, because it was his former teammate at Real Madrid, Antonio. Cassano.
※※※
Cassano has been recuperating at home during this time, but in fact, he has not been idle at all. So a few days after the start of the team's training camp, he slipped to the Voltuno Castle training base and suddenly appeared in front of his teammates, which surprised and delighted his teammates.
Chen Yingying met him on the way from the locker room to the training ground and talked to him for more than ten minutes. After a heart attack, the relationship between the two is better. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an iron buddy.
After saying hello to everyone, of course, I went to see the coaches.
When Mazari saw Cassano, Mazari, who was worried about Chen's replacement for Hero, suddenly had a bright eye and asked him: "Antonio, how is your relationship with Raul?" ”
Cassano was asked so violently, and he didn't react for a while: "Raul? Who? ”
"Who do you say?"
"Huh? Ahh Oh he! Cassano smiled, "Okay." When I first went to Real Madrid, he took good care of me, as captain he was really speechless and a good person. You know, although my career at Real Madrid was more ...... Well, but I still met a lot of friends, and Real Madrid's players are all good. ”
Mazzar then smiled and asked him, "Would you like to do me a favor, Antonio?" ”
Hearing Mazari's sweet and greasy voice, Cassano suddenly shuddered. Mazari in front of him was like a strange man who wanted to coax the little girl to go home with him......
※※※
"Antonio?" Raul was a little surprised, because they hadn't actually been in touch for a long time. Later, because of Cassano's heart attack, Real Madrid wore a T-shirt to cheer for Cassano before the game, and at the same time, the club official also sent greetings, Cassano returned the salute, and then made a phone call to him, the titular captain of Real Madrid.
It was Cassano's only contact since he left Real Madrid.
"How's your heart?" Raul was concerned about Cassano's heart disease. He also admitted that Cassano is a very rare genius, but he was tired of his personality in this life, and it was difficult to see that he was going to play in Naples, but he had a heart attack. During this time, Raul happened to be sad about his future, a little sentimental, and felt a little "the same as the end of the world" for this Cassano, and deep down, he unconsciously got closer.
"I'm recovering well and I'll be able to train physically in a few days." Cassano is honest.
"That's a good thing, congratulations!"
"Ha, thank you, Raul ()."
Even if Cassano had another heart attack, he would have been cured now, and he was only twenty-eight years old. There is also time to wait, to recover. But what about yourself?
Raul thought of himself from Cassano in this way, which shows that he is really melancholy and sentimental enough during this time......
He couldn't help but sigh at the thought of his situation.
This tone was neither light nor heavy, and it happened to be heard by Cassano.
Cassano was ordered by Mazari to be a lobbyist, so how could he not know that this was an entry point?
He asked, "Why sigh, Raul?" What's upset? ”
Raul smiled bitterly: "What else can you worry about, the media outside have all said it, right?" ”
Cassano pretended to be surprised: "Huh? No way? Are you really leaving Real Madrid? ”
"Of course I don't want to, but ......," he sighed again. During this time, he sighed significantly more often.
"But you are the flag and the legend of Real Madrid, the captain forever. There's absolutely no way they'll let you go......"
"I wish the reality was what you said, Antonio. But the reality is that I'm old. Raul said this sentence is extremely lonely.
The helplessness and unwillingness in his tone were heard clearly by Cassano on the other end of the phone. He suddenly remembered that he had just learned that it was not a stroke, it was not a viral flu, but a heart attack, and it seemed exactly the same as Raul's at this moment. Unwilling, but helpless in the face of the cold reality.
This is fate, what can you do?
This empathy suddenly made Cassano eager and enthusiastic (). He had promised Mazari that he was only going to complete a mission, and he didn't really care if Raul could come. Whether you can come or not, what does it have to do with me as a player. Anyway, I'm just in charge of matching the two of them......
But now, he suddenly felt that Raul should come to Naples, and only coming to Naples would be the best result. Because Naples has allowed itself to rediscover the second spring of his career, why can't Raul find his dignity in Naples?
What the? Chen Yingxing's understudy? Damn, our team is a team that is going to compete in the Champions League and the league, we are fighting on two fronts, how can one Chen Hero be enough? Is Raul still afraid that there will be no position and no game to play? Of course, the absolute main force will definitely not be able to do it, after all, the age is there......
Mazari's heartfelt words made him blurt out: "Come to our Naples, captain!" ”
He used the title of "captain...... This is enough to show his respect and sincerity for Raul.
Raul was stunned.
Naples?
※※※
Raul never considered Napoli as a destination, and he didn't even put them on his shortlist.
At this moment, there are several roads in front of him, and going to Schalke 04 is the best choice, because Schalke 04 is a Bundesliga powerhouse and qualifies for the Champions League, which is also the most important point for him. He is the all-time top scorer in the Champions League, and he has every chance to continue to record his goals in the Champions League, so if he really leaves Real Madrid, he will definitely have to go to a team that can play in the Champions League, Schalke 04 is.
In addition to going to Schalke 04, it is to go to the West Asian League to pan for gold, and I will definitely not consider looking for him, it is too cheap. Or learn from Beckham and go to Major League Soccer for retirement, but Beckham called him a few times and strongly invited him to come to the Los Angeles Galaxy. But...... After all, it's still a football desert, and it's not at all comparable to Europe, and he won't go until he has to.
In addition to continuing his football career, another option is to retire directly at Real Madrid and announce his retirement now. In this way, Real Madrid will hold a decent farewell match for him, invite celebrities in world football, and ensure that he will be held in a beautiful scenery. After retiring, he can directly join the top of the Real Madrid board, or he can be a coach if he wants to, or he can go directly to coaching, and he always chooses what he wants.
But Raul didn't want to choose this path either, he still wanted to play. He was only thirty-three years old, and he didn't think he was old at all.
Schalke 04 because he can play in the Champions League and at the same time have the instigation of Metzeld, he thinks this is a good choice.
But now Napoli has come in with a cross-bar......
Oh, he suddenly remembered that Napoli also qualified for the Champions League, but they had to start from the Champions League qualification......
"Qualifying?" Cassano sneered on the other end of the phone, "That's not a problem at all, it's not difficult for us to play a Champions League qualifier with the strength of Napoli." Anyway, I think Napoli is a thoughtful person from the owner to the manager, and the teammates get along very happily, and the dressing room environment is relatively simple. I don't think you'll regret coming to Naples! You think about it, if you're interested, I'll give you the phone number of our manager, and he talks to you about specific things, that ...... It doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, I can still translate for you! ”
Raul laughed.
That's what Metzelde said to himself.
Why do everyone like to work as a freelance translator?
But this Napoli ...... How?
