Chapter 487 The Legendary Situation of Real Madrid (First update, ask for a monthly ticket!)

Everyone is saying "Raul, for the future and revival of Real Madrid, you sacrifice yourself and fulfill yourself!" "Raul, you are old, and it is time to consider making room for young people..." "Raul , as long as you are willing to retire, you can choose any position at the top of the club, except for the chairman!" "Raul, please recognize the reality and accept the fate of being a substitute..." "Raul, this Spain has lost you, and has taken it one after another." The European Cup and the World Cup. So, without you, Real Madrid might become the tenth champion of the Champions League?"

But no one has ever considered Raul's own feelings.

No matter what the purpose is, Raul has a very deep affection for this team that he has played for more than ten years. He feels that as the captain, he should think hard about everything about the team.

Ball bully?I am the leader in the locker room. If I don't do those things, who will do them?
substitute?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 any trouble with the club, did I?
Ronaldo and Kaka?No problem, I'm friends with them, they're great people, 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 at the same time said, "I am ready to play as a substitute. Bench? For me, that is not a problem at all!"

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

Only the fans of Raul burst into tears-Raul, Raul, you are the living legend of Real Madrid, you are the proud flag flying over the Bernabeu forever, but now you say such words that you are willing to be a substitute. You who are like a prince, what a huge determination you need to make!Although they all said that this is the normal metabolism of a team, it is an inevitable law.But... why do we people feel so sad?

They feel distressed, Raul has assumed such a low profile, he can still stay in Real Madrid after all, right?
Mourinho also said: "Me and Raul? We can get along very well without any problems. I respect him very much. He is the legend of Real Madrid. Besides, the problem of his coexistence with other players... ah , we'll talk about that later..."

Raul fans outside are still imagining that Raul and Mourinho will stage a good show. After all, he is the leader of Real Madrid. If the outsider Mourinho wants to control the locker room as soon as possible, integrate the team , Without the cooperation of Raul, it will be difficult to move forward.If Mourinho is a smart guy, he should work with Raul...

But they have all forgotten that there is another way to solve this matter.That is... simply kick Raul away.

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

Those well-informed people naturally started contacting Raul long ago—of course, they actually contacted Raul's agent.

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

Metzelder boasted about both the Bundesliga and Schalke 04 very well, and even said that if Raul is interested, he is willing to match Raul, even as a translator!

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

Raul who answered the phone was a little surprised because the caller was his former Real Madrid teammate Antonio Cassano.

※ ※ ※

Cassano has been recuperating at home during this time, but in fact he can't rest at all.So within a few days of the team's training camp, he slipped to the Fort Volturno training base and suddenly appeared in front of his teammates, which surprised and delighted his teammates.

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 has improved.It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to be an iron buddy.

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

When Mazari saw Cassano, Mazari, who was worrying about Chen Yingxiong's replacement, suddenly had a bright eye and asked him, "Antonio, how is your relationship with Raul?"

Cassano was asked abruptly, but he didn't respond for a while: "Raul? Who?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Ah? Ah! He!" Cassano laughed, "It's okay. When I first went to Real Madrid, he took good care of me. As the captain, he is really nothing to say, he is a good person. You know, although I My career at Real Madrid is more... well, but I still know a lot of friends, and the players in Real Madrid are all good people."

Mazari then asked him with a smile: "Will you do me a favor, Antonio?"

Hearing Mazari's cloyingly sweet voice, Cassano suddenly shivered.Mazari in front of him seemed to be coaxing the little girl to go home with him...

※ ※ ※

"Antonio?" Raul was a little surprised, because they hadn't contacted for a long time.Later, because of Cassano's heart attack, Real Madrid wore a T-shirt cheering for Cassano before the game. At the same time, the club officials also sent greetings. Cassano returned the gift, and then called him in his name The Real Madrid captain here.

This is 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 genius. He was tired by his personality in this life. After finally seeing him showing signs of playing in Naples, he got a heart attack.During this period of time, Raul was so saddened by his own future that he became sentimental. For Cassano, he felt a little bit like "the same people who have fallen into the world". Deep down in his heart, he unconsciously Get closer.

"I'm recovering pretty well, and I'll be able to train physically in a few days." Cassano said truthfully.

"It's a good thing, congratulations!"

"Ha, thank you, Raul."

Even if Cassano has a heart attack again, he is cured now, and he is only 28 years old.There is still time to wait and recover.But what about myself?
Raul thought of himself from Cassano in this way, which shows that he was really melancholy and sentimental during this period of time...

Thinking of 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 Mazari to be a lobbyist, so how could he not know that this is an entry point?
He asked, "Why are you sighing, Raul? What's bothering you?"

Raul smiled wryly: "Is there anything else that can bother you? The outside media have already talked about 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, the number of his sighs increased significantly.

"But you are the banner and legend of Real Madrid, and the captain forever. They will never let you go..."

"I really hope the reality is like what you said, Antonio. But the reality is that I am old." Raul said this sentence very lonely.

Even Cassano on the other end of the phone could clearly hear the helplessness and unwillingness in his tone.He suddenly thought of his state of mind when he just learned that it was not a stroke, nor a viral flu, but a heart attack. It seemed to be exactly the same as Raul at this moment.Not reconciled, but helpless in the face of the cold reality.

This is life, what can you do?

This kind of empathy suddenly made Cassano eager and enthusiastic.He had promised Mazari just as a task, and he didn't really care whether Raul could come or not.Whether you can come or not, it has nothing to do with me as a player.Anyway, I'm just in charge of connecting 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 allowed himself to find 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 a hero Chen be enough?Are you afraid that there will be no position and no games when Raul comes?Of course, the absolute main force definitely can't do it, after all, age is there...

What Mazari said made him blurt out: "Come to us in Naples, captain!"

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

Raul was stunned.

Naples?

※ ※ ※

Raul has never considered the destination of Naples, and he has not even included the other party in his shortlist.

At this moment, there are several roads in front of him, and going to Schalke 04 seems to be the best choice among them, because Schalke 04 is considered a powerhouse in the Bundesliga and is also 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 opportunity to continue to refresh his goals in the Champions League, so if he really leaves Real Madrid, he must 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 seek gold, and I will definitely not consider him, it is too low.Or learn from Beckham and go to the Major League Soccer for retirement. Beckham has called him several times and tried his best to invite him to LA Galaxy.But...there is still a football desert after all, and it is completely incomparable with Europe. He will not go there unless it is absolutely necessary.

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

But Raul didn't want to choose this path either, he still wanted to play football.He's only 33 years old, and he doesn't feel old at all.

Because Schalke 04 can participate in the UEFA Champions League, and at the same time Metzelder's instigation, he thinks this is a good choice.

But now Naples has stepped in...

That's right, he suddenly remembered that Naples is also eligible to participate in the Champions League, but it has to start from the Champions League qualifiers...

"Qualification?" Cassano sneered on the phone, "That's not a problem at all. It's not difficult for us to compete in the Champions League qualifiers with the strength of Naples. Anyway, I think, Naples has ideas from the owner to the head coach. People, the teammates are also very happy to get along with, and the locker room environment is relatively simple. I think you really come to Naples, and you will never regret it! You think about it. If you are interested, I will give you the phone number of our head coach , He will talk to you about the specific things, that... it doesn't matter if you don't understand the language, I can still translate for you!"

Raul just laughed.

That's what Metzelder told himself at the beginning.

Why do you all like to be part-time translators?
But what about Naples...?
