Chapter 162: The Situation of the Real Madrid Legend (First update, please vote for me!)

Everyone is saying, "Raul, for the future and revival of Real Madrid, sacrifice yourself and fulfill the greater self!" "Raul, when you are old, you should consider making room for young people..." "Raul , as long as you are willing to retire, the top position of the club, except for the chairman, is yours to choose!" "Raul, please recognize the reality and accept the fate of being a substitute..." "Raul, without you, Spain has taken it one after another. European Cup and World Cup. So, without you, Real Madrid might have won ten Champions League titles?"

But no one ever considered Raul's own mood.

No matter what the purpose is, Raul has very deep feelings for the team he has played for for more than ten years. He feels that as the captain, he should give every effort to consider everything about the team.

Ball tyrant? I am the leader in the locker room, who will do those things if I don’t do them?

Substitute? I was going to be on the bench last season, and I didn’t say anything to the outside world, right? I didn’t have any trouble with the club, right?

Ronaldo and Kaka? No problem, I am friends with them, they are easy 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 head coach in the media and said at the same time, "I am ready to come on the bench. Bench? For me, that is not a problem at all!"

Cristiano Ronaldo fans breathed a sigh of relief. Kaka's fans breathed a sigh of relief, and even Higuain and Benzema's fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Raul's fans were in tears - Raul, Raul, you are a living legend of Real Madrid, you are the pride flag that will always fly over the Bernabeu, but now you have said such words that you are willing to be a substitute, this is a sign for pride. As a prince, you need to make such a huge determination! Although they all say that this is the normal metabolism of a team and an inevitable rule. But...why do we people feel so sad?

They felt sad that Raul had already assumed such a low profile, so he could still stay in Real Madrid, right?

Mourinho also said: "Me and Raul? We can get along very well without any problems. I respect him very much, he is a legend of Real Madrid. Besides, the problem of coexistence between him and other players...ah , we will talk about that when the time comes..."

Outside Raul fans are still dreaming about a reconciliation between Raul and Mourinho. After all, he is Real Madrid's boss. If Mourinho, an outsider, wants to take control of the locker room and integrate the team as soon as possible, , without Raul's cooperation, it will be difficult to move forward. If Mourinho is a smart man, he should work with Raul...

But they all forgot that there is another way to solve this matter. That is...just kick Raul away.

So in fact, many people within Real Madrid already know that Raul's days in this team can really only be counted down.

Those well-informed people have naturally started contact with Raul a long time ago - of course, they are actually in contact with Raul's agent.

Among them, Schalke 04, a team from the Bundesliga, currently has the advantage. This team temporarily has a leading position in Raul's mind due to the relationship with the German player Metzelder in the Real Madrid team.

Metzelder boasted that both the Bundesliga and Schalke 04 were very good, and even said that if Raul was interested, he would be willing to match Raul, and even act as a translator!

Just when Raul was about to fall in love with Schalke 04, a phone call came from Italy.

Raul was a little surprised when he picked up the phone because the caller was Antonio Cassano, his former teammate at Real Madrid.

※ ※ ※

Cassano has been recuperating at home during this period, but in fact he can't stay idle at all. So a few days after the team training started, he sneaked to the Fort Volturno training base and suddenly appeared in front of his teammates, which surprised and delighted them.

Chen Yingxiong met him on the way from the locker room to the training ground and chatted with him for more than ten minutes. After the heart attack, the relationship between the two became better. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a close friend.

After greeting everyone, of course I went to see the coaches.

When Mazzarri saw Cassano, Mazzarri, who was worrying about Chen Yingxiong's replacement, suddenly brightened up and asked him: "Antonio, how is your relationship with Raul?"

Cassano was asked so fiercely that he didn't react for a moment: "Raul? Who?"

"Who did you say you were?"

"Ah? Ah! He!" Cassano laughed, "It's not bad. When I first went to Real Madrid, he took good care of me. As the captain, it's really nothing to say. He is a good person. You know, although I My career at Real Madrid was a little... so-so, but I still made a lot of friends, and the players at Real Madrid are all good people."

Mazzarri then asked him with a smile: "Would you like to do me a favor, Antonio?"

Hearing Mazzari's sweet voice, Cassano suddenly shuddered. The Mazari in front of him seemed 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 contacted each other for a long time. Later, because of Cassano's heart disease, Real Madrid wore a T-shirt to support Cassano before the game. At the same time, the club officials also sent greetings. Cassano returned the gift and made a phone call on his behalf. The captain of Real Madrid is here.

This was their only contact after Cassano left Real Madrid.

"How is your heart?" Raul was very concerned about Cassano's heart disease. He also admitted that Cassano is a very rare talent, but he has been burdened by his personality all his life. He finally saw signs that he was about to play in Naples, but he suffered from a heart disease. During this time, Raul was very sad about his future, and he was a little sentimental. He felt a little bit like "the same person who has fallen from the world" towards Cassano. Deep down in his heart, he couldn't help but feel sad. Get closer.

"I'm recovering well. I'll be able to do physical training in a few days." Cassano told the truth.

"That's a good thing, congratulations!"

"Ha, thank you, Raul."

Even if Cassano suffers from heart disease again, he is cured now, and he is only twenty-eight years old. There is still time to wait and recover. But what about yourself?

Raul just thought of himself from Cassano, which shows that he was really melancholy and sentimental during this period...

When he thought about his situation, he couldn't help but sigh.

This tone was neither light nor heavy, and it happened to be heard by Cassano.

Cassano was ordered by Mazzarri to serve as a lobbyist. How could he not know that this was an entry point?

He asked: "Why are you sighing, Raul? What's bothering you?"

Raul smiled bitterly: "What else is there to worry about? The media outside have already explained it, right?"

Cassano pretended to be surprised: "Huh? No way? Are you really going to leave Real Madrid?"

"Of course I don't want to, but..." He sighed again. During this time, his sighs increased significantly.

"But you are the flag and legend of Real Madrid and the eternal captain. There is absolutely no way they will let you leave..."

"I really hope the reality is like what you said, Antonio. But the reality is that I am old." Raul said these words extremely lonely.

The helplessness and unwillingness in his tone could be heard clearly even by Cassano on the other end of the phone. He suddenly thought of his state of mind when he had just learned that it was not a stroke or a viral cold, but a heart attack. It seemed to be exactly the same as Raul at this moment. Reluctant, but helpless in the face of the cold reality.

This is life, what can you do?

This empathy suddenly made Cassano eager and enthusiastic. His previous promise to Mazzarri was just to complete a task. He actually didn't care whether Raul could come or not. Whether I can come or not, it has nothing to do with me as a player. Anyway, I'm just responsible for connecting the two of them...

But now, he suddenly felt that Raul should come to Naples. Only coming to Naples was the best result. Because Naples allowed him to rediscover the second spring of his career, why can't Raul find his own dignity in Naples?

What? Chen Yingxiong's substitute? Damn, our team is going to compete in the Champions League and the league. We are fighting on two fronts. How can one Chen Yingxiong be enough? When Raul comes, are you afraid that he won't have a place and won't be able to play in games? Of course, the absolute main force will definitely not be able to do it. After all, age is there...

Mazzarri's inner thoughts made him blurt out: "Come to our Naples, captain!"

He even used the title "Captain"... This is enough to show his respect and sincerity for Raul.

Raul was stunned.

Naples?

※ ※ ※

Raul has never considered Naples as a destination, and he has not even included the other party in his alternative list.

At this moment, there are several paths in front of him, and going to Schalke 04 seems to be the best choice among them, because Schalke 04 is considered a strong player in the Bundesliga and is qualified for the Champions League. This is what he values ​​most. a little bit. He is the top scorer in the history of the Champions League. He has every chance to continue to refresh his number of goals in the Champions League. Therefore, if he really leaves Real Madrid, he must go to a team that can play in the Champions League, and Schalke 04 is it.

Apart from going to Schalke 04, or going to the West Asian League to look for gold, I would definitely not consider looking for him. It would be too low. Or follow Beckham's example and go to Major League Soccer to retire. Beckham called him several times and strongly invited him to come to the Los Angeles Galaxy. But... it is still a football desert after all. It is completely incomparable with Europe. He will not go there unless he has to.

In addition to continuing his football career, another option is to retire directly from Real Madrid and announce his retirement now. In this way, Real Madrid will organize a decent farewell match for him, invite celebrities in world football, and guarantee that it will be a glorious one for him. After retiring, he can directly join the senior management of Real Madrid's board of directors, or if he wants to be a coach, he can also directly become a coach. It is always up to him to choose what he wants to do.

But Raul doesn't want to choose this path, he still wants to play football. He was only thirty-three years old, and he felt that he was not old at all.

Because Schalke 04 can participate in the Champions League and also has Metzelder's instigation, he thinks this is a good choice.

But now Napoli steps in...

Yes, he suddenly remembered that Naples is also qualified to participate in the Champions League, but they have to start from the Champions League qualifying rounds...

"Qualification?" Cassano sneered on the other end of the phone. "That's not a problem at all. With the strength of Naples, it's not difficult to qualify for the Champions League. Anyway, I think Naples, from the owner to the head coach, has ideas. Man, the teammates are very happy to get along with each other, and the locker room environment is relatively simple. I think you will definitely not regret it if you come to Naples! You think about it, and if you are interested, I will give you the phone number of our head coach , he will talk 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.

Metzelder told himself the same thing at the beginning.

Why does everyone like to be a part-time translator?

But what about Naples...?
