When Raul joined Naples, he was considered the biggest star to join the team since the Maradona era. What about Cassano and what about Arshavin? There is no comparison between these people and Raul!

Florentino spent all his time building a Galactico, one superstar a year, poached Luis Figo from Barcelona, ​​bought Zidane from Juventus for the world's most valuable player, and brought Ronaldo from Inter Milan. , and pried away Beckham from Manchester United. These people were all well-known figures in the actual football world at that time. If there is a list of the top ten martial arts masters in world football and martial arts novels, these four people are undoubtedly on the list.

But no matter how many people come, Raul Gonzalez's status in Real Madrid cannot be shaken. Whether he is the former captain and leader of Barcelona, ​​the core of Juventus and the French national team, or the "new ball" "King" alien Ronaldo, or "heartthrob" Beckham, in front of them, Raul is the real boss.

Real Madrid promoted that they had seven superstars at the time, and Raul was the only Spanish player.

Suffice it to say, what has Raul not seen in his career? Big winds and waves have come, and no matter how famous the big guys in the world are, he can't meet many of them, or even work with them. His temperament and reputation are truly unparalleled in today's football world.

So Raul coming to the team is a very sensational event.

The sensation was felt not only by the 10,000 Napoli fans who came to the Stadio San Paolo to welcome him, but also in the dressing room within the team.

Raul hasn't even arrived yet, and the locker room has already talked about him many times. Some people also watched Raul's press conference. The transfer and departure of a player can cause a giant club like Real Madrid to hold a special press conference. The club president, general manager and head coach are present at the same time. Dozens of media swarm in. This face, this air, this score... …Tsk, tsk, I’m really speechless.

Only by comparing yourself with others can you know what a true "world-class star" is.

To put it bluntly, Naples is really a country bumpkin.

Of course, there are many voices praising and envying Raul, but there are also voices full of worry.

Who is Raul? A world-class star, captain of a giant like Real Madrid, and the flag of the Bernabeu, the temple of football.

Everyone is the boss in Real Madrid. When you come to a small place like Naples, are you willing to be subordinate to others?

Besides, there are many rumors outside that Raul is... a "ball tyrant".

Everyone knows what the concept of ball dominance is.

This is not unusual for a leader in the locker room, but it is not good if he has the word "tyrannical" attached to him. Being too domineering is annoying.

If there is really a "ball tyrant", there will probably be no peace in the locker room that Naples finally united...

The current captain of the team is Paulo Cannavaro, who is a qualified and capable person. He was originally from Naples, and he is also the younger brother of former Italian national team captain and world footballer Fabio Cannavaro. He comes from a famous family and is well-respected in the Naples area. He is the oldest member of the current team, so he Everyone is convinced when he becomes the captain.

The team's captain is Cannavaro, but the leader of the locker room is not him, or not just him. Chen Yingxiong is young, but because he is particularly valued by head coach Mazzarri, he is very powerful and is the "godson" of the club chairman. In addition, he is generous, generous, charitable, likes to make friends, and has a lively personality. As the hottest star of the team at present, he still doesn't put on airs... Such a rare person in heaven and earth, of course he is one of the leaders in the locker room.

Another leader in the locker room is the relatively low-key Hamsik.

These three people are the talking heads in the Naples locker room. When Chen Yingxiong first came, there were still three leaders in the locker room. Apart from Hamsik and the captain, the other one was Lavezzi. However, Lavezzi failed in the team's political struggle and was sold to Juventus by the club. It is said that his time at Juventus was not very satisfactory.

Among these three people, Hamsik is the leader of Chen Yingxiong’s eating, drinking and playing band. He is always in charge. Of course, he is sitting next to Chen Yingxiong, so when talking in the locker room, it is still the voice of Chen Yingxiong and his gang. maximum.

Fortunately, Chen Yingxiong and the others didn't do anything bad other than making some jokes or playing pranks, so everyone didn't think it was a big deal.

But now that a world-class star has arrived, many people are not sure whether the balance in the locker room will be broken.

What if Raul comes and wants to be the captain?

What if Raul comes and wants to be the boss?

What if he conflicts with Chen Yingxiong?

Will there still be Ning Ri in this locker room by then?

If a team is no longer united, can it still be effective?

These questions are in the minds of every Napoli player.

With all kinds of questions, they finally met their new teammate Raul Gonzalez.

※ ※ ※

Mazzarri fully learned the lesson from the last time Cassano came. In order to avoid completely unpredictable unexpected situations, he would tell captain Paul Cannavaro in advance before introducing new teammates to everyone. Then the captain tells the whole team the news.

That means - there is a new person coming, you'd better control your mouth and don't gossip behind others' backs.

What happened with Cassano last time was really embarrassing for both parties.

So the Naples players also know it.

So when Raul appeared in the locker room with Mazzarri, there was no disturbance.

Raul was still introduced to the captain first, and then Paul Cannavaro introduced the players on the team.

Since Raul does not speak Italian and Cannavaro does not speak Spanish, the translation job fell to Chilean winger Sanchez. He is Chilean and the official language of Chile is Spanish. Sanchez has been in Italian football for a few more years and can speak Italian, making him a suitable translator.

With the introduction of captain Cannavaro and the translation of Sanchez, Raul met every player, introduced each other and shook hands.

Throughout the whole process, Raul had a humble and gentle smile, and did not put on the air of "I am a world-class star, so I am the boss." Seems very approachable.

Many Naples players who were watching with cold eyes secretly breathed a sigh of relief - such a big star seems to be quite easy to get along with? How can you tell that he is a "ball tyrant"?

Of course, if he was a true ball lord, you wouldn't be able to tell it even by just looking here.

Kaka has both good appearance and skills, but he was really a "ball tyrant" when he was in AC Milan...

When Paul Cannavaro introduced Chen Yingxiong, he felt a little uneasy. He didn't know how Chen Yingxiong would feel about Raul. But after Naples defeated Real Madrid in an away game last season, Chen Yingxiong expressed his disdain for Real Madrid in an interview in the mixed zone?

What if he hated the whole house and looked down upon the Real Madrid captain who raised his head and looked at people with his nostrils? Didn't this ignite the conflict in the locker room from the beginning?

But he was overthinking it.

The meeting between Chen Yingxiong and Raul was very ordinary. Chen Yingxiong smiled and shook hands with him.

Raul also seemed to know other teammates and had to say a few words: "Your three goals against Barcelona were all beautiful! It's just that the result... is a pity."

But Chen Yingxiong shrugged: "There is nothing to regret, we will have to spit it out one day!"

Only then did he have a look of unruliness on his face.

Laudun was immediately impressed by Chen Yingxiong.

He praised Chen Yingxiong for his beautiful goal. It was just a way of saying hello. Most people would just say "thank you", but Chen Yingxiong's answer was extraordinary, very arrogant and arrogant.

But Raoul didn't hate it, he even liked it. Why?

Because this temperament is actually the temperament of Real Madrid. Real Madrid is the world's top club, and it should have such pride - no matter who the opponent is, I am not afraid of you! Even if I lose, I will take revenge if I have the chance!

It's just that Real Madrid, which has been firmly suppressed by Barcelona for several consecutive years, is no longer qualified to have such a temperament - for the winner, it is just the air of a king. For losers, doing so would be overestimating their abilities and being arrogant.

Real Madrid can be confident but must not be conceited.

Raul saw the temperament of Real Madrid in a Naples player. He was a little emotional. He held Chen Yingxiong's hand with one hand and patted Chen Yingxiong's arm with the other, and then let go to see the next person.

※ ※ ※

In this way, Raul became a member of Naples and officially began his two-year life in Naples. His first training session after joining Naples attracted hundreds of Naples fans to watch, scrambling to catch a glimpse of this former one of Real Madrid's seven superstars.

Raul is currently staying at the Paradise Hotel.

Considering the uneasy security situation in Naples, he did not let his wife and children come with him. He only visited him occasionally, but did not live with him permanently. So he is here alone for now.

The club is helping him find a house. Keeping people in hotels is not a way to keep them. In order for a new player to stay in the team with peace of mind, of course, he must solve his worries. If Raul brings his wife and children, it will include helping his children find schools.

Italian clubs have dedicated personnel in charge of such matters, so the players themselves don’t have to worry about it.

Some clubs even let the wife of the club president be responsible for this kind of thing. For example, the proprietress of Udinese, Ms. Giuliana, the wife of boss Pozzo, is responsible for these specific affairs. Giuliana's first job was to be responsible for the "Lifetime for Udinese" charity plan, which she started in 1998. The current amount of online funds raised has reached one million euros, which is similar to Leonardo's initial official work in Milan. Other tasks, such as the proper placement of new players include finding houses, enrolling their children in schools, finding nurseries, arranging Italian courses for players, hiring teachers, and social integration among players. Although these are small things, they are important. It is also a major event that affects performance. When necessary, she has to step in to mediate the players' marital crisis...

She doesn't care about any of this.

Naples owner De Laurentiis also has such a helpful wife. His wife Jacques Quelin is not responsible for the specific operations of the club, but she takes care of the family issues of the player team, especially those that may affect the entire team. When it comes to family harmony, she is even more obligated.

Criscito came, and so did Raul.

Napoli's transfer activity continues.

The club's experience is that they are busy and the players are not relaxed. They are tortured by their coaches on the training ground and have to pay the price for their indulgence during the holidays.

Naples' pre-season preparations are slowly unfolding in such a busy but not panic atmosphere.
