Chapter 489 He will be reborn in Naples (third update, ask for a monthly pass!)

On July 2010, 7, a news that was neither unexpected nor shocking to countless Real Madrid fans came.

Real Madrid's Raul Gonzalez has officially transferred to the Serie A team Naples on a free transfer. He will report to his new club on the 27th.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation.

In fact, before this, many voices were saying "Raul is leaving!" "Raul is leaving Real Madrid!" "Real Madrid don't want Raul anymore!" "Florentino failed to complete the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, and will definitely complete it in the second phase!"

For a while, the city was full of turmoil, and everyone thought that Raul disappeared the next day.

But when this day really came, everyone was shocked.There are even many people who think this must be April Fool's Day news.

But the traditional April Fool's Day in Spain is December 28, but now it is July 25!

So this is true and reliable news.Because this is news from the official website of the Real Madrid Club.

Raul really left?

The legend that once caused countless people to flock to the Bernabeu just to shout his name really left?

Real Madrid general manager Valdano was surrounded by reporters. He squeezed to his car with some difficulty in the encirclement, and at the same time he had to constantly deal with reporters' questions.

"Yes... yes, it's true. Raul left the club... We will hold a special press conference to inform you about this later, so please stay safe..."

Florentino pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the TV screen, his face full of regret: "I personally regret it very much. But I will say that Raúl came up with it all. Yes, he is a man of great respect and on his last day at Real Madrid he deserved the great title of 'captain'..."

Mourinho wore a training suit with Real Madrid's logo and sponsor logo, stood on the edge of the training ground, and was interviewed by reporters: "I respect his personal choice. I want to say that I have nothing to do with him. Contradictions, not what you think. We had a deep conversation... I wish him luck. What I want to say is - whether at the Bernabeu or in Naples, he will always be the same Raúl..."

Casillas, the current first captain of Real Madrid, was blocked by reporters in the parking lot. It is obviously impossible to leave here if he does not answer questions.

"Raúl was my big brother forever, he was the spiritual leader of the team. That will not go away with him. He will be missed by all of us, he was my guide at Real Madrid... I am very grateful to him..."

"Look, Raul. You haven't left yet, and these people are in a hurry to give a eulogy."

When Raul Gonzalez looked up and focused on the TV, his manager Gines Carvajal (Gines_Carvajal) hummed disdainfully beside him.

"Especially the new captain!"

Just after the World Cup in South Africa just ended, the well-known agent in Spain was fired by Casillas.So his relationship with Casillas is very bad. He even thinks Casillas is ungrateful, because he was the one who took care of Casillas' career for the previous 14 years.

Raul didn't respond, he just stared at the TV screen absently.

On July 26, Real Madrid arranged a farewell press conference for Raul at the Bernabeu. The club president, head coach and Raul were all present.

The media gathered, all wanting to hear what Raul had to say about this matter.

In just one day, there are many versions of the reason why Raul left.Some say he left voluntarily, some say he was forced out by Mourinho, some say it was Florentino's ruthlessness, others say it's part of a change of power in the Real Madrid dressing room, Casillas I also played a not-so-glamorous role in it...

There was no sound at all.

Rumors are flying.

At this time, everyone wanted to hear what Raul had to say.

Raul was sitting on a high platform, and in front of him were all microphones and recording pens with various logos, tape recorders, and mobile phones on hold...

He looked down at the black microphones pointed at him.

"Thank you very much for sending me, the decision to leave was not easy. But it is really my own decision, no one has ever forced me. I am very grateful to the Real Madrid club, to President Florentino, Thanks also to Mourinho..."

Someone below pouted: "I knew it, I want to hear him say bad things about Real Madrid, unless it's the end of the world!"

"This is the spirit of Real Madrid! No pure Real Madrid player will speak ill of her after leaving Real Madrid. They have not received such an education since Castilla..."

"You are right, this is the spirit of Real Madrid. But I don't believe what he is saying now. Everyone knows that he has conflicts with the club..."

"Hush! Don't say anything, keep listening!"

Raul continued on the stage.

"I admit that I wanted very, very much to stay, until now, at this moment, I also want to stay, dreaming of one day wearing a Real Madrid jersey and waving goodbye to tens of thousands of fans at the Bernabéu...but unfortunately, I You have to leave early."

Speaking of this, some old reporters in the audience couldn't help but wipe their eyes.Which of them has not been interviewing Real Madrid for decades?Almost watching Raul grow from a young boy who was promoted from the second team to the first team to a world superstar, he has a father-like affection for Raul.The scene Raul just mentioned was obviously something they had imagined countless times.

But unfortunately, this scene will not have the opportunity to be staged.

This scene has appeared on Zidane, but why can't it appear on Raul?
"I used to say 'I love Real Madrid, no one thinks I want to leave, and I never want to leave, but if I have to sacrifice myself for the team so that the team can do well, then I will Willing to leave', I still say this now, and I really think so. If my departure can make the team better, then I will change clothes and leave. I would rather not retire at the Bernabeu. I only hope that Real Madrid future will be even better.”

Many Real Madrid fans who were watching the live broadcast of the press conference in front of the TV, especially those over 30 years old, couldn't help but burst into tears and began to cry.

Raul really said such a thing, at first everyone thought he was just for show.But now, no one treats him as a show.But how much everyone hopes that this is really a show...

"Of course I can choose to retire at this time. But I can't. Because I can't betray my true thoughts. The true thoughts are that I still want to continue to play football. I don't want to leave too early. So I chose to leave the Bernabeu, Go to Naples. Because Naples is willing to give me this old guy such a chance, I am not going to retire.” Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Mourinho who was watching with a serious face, and smiled at him: “I like Mourinho very much. A word from Mr. Neo, whether at the Bernabeu or in Naples, I am that Raul. Thank you."

A smile quickly appeared on Mourinho's face, and he nodded to Raul.

Raúl continued to turn and look at the camera, continuing: "So sorry, I have to wear another club's jersey. But my heart will always belong to Real Madrid."

He raised his hand and beat his chest a few times.That is his celebration after scoring a goal now. He no longer kisses his fingers very much, beats his chest with his hands, and then makes a "V" gesture, which is what he uses most now.

Finally, he said: "Don't worry, I will return to Real Madrid, to the Bernabeu. Because I am Raul Gonzalez, I am Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid. Thank you! "

During the whole process, there was a warm smile on his face, just like the impression he used to give people, he was humble and polite, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, not annoying.

Even when he announced his departure, he was unwilling to leave a bad impression in people's minds.It is such a player who cares so much about his own image, and finally for the future of the team, he left the aura of "Real Madrid flag", "Real Madrid legend" and "Real Madrid spiritual leader" and chose to leave.He gave his number to Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been spying on him for a long time, gave the name of the boss of the locker room to his former younger brother Iker Casillas, gave Mourinho the authority of making promises, and gave all Controversy and blame are taken away, only my own love is left behind.

Some people may have a lot for Raul, but they cannot deny and slander this point, that is, his unreserved love for this team.For love, he can stay, but for love, he would rather leave.

I have to say that sometimes, it takes more courage to leave than to stay.

When he stood up, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he shook hands with coach Mourinho, general manager Valdano, and club chairman Florentino in turn, and then turned and left the press conference.

On October 1994, 10, the flag that had been flying over the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium for 29 years was lowered.

On the second day, Raul appeared in Naples. At the San Paolo Stadium, he performed a grand welcome ceremony specially prepared for him by the club. Ten thousand Naples fans came to support him. He was also reported in Spain yesterday. The media reporters who sadly bid farewell to Real Madrid went to Naples to report on the grand occasion of Raul's joining.

After the medical examination, Raul appeared on the court with a smile on his face holding the two Naples home and away jerseys. His name and number have been printed on the back of the jersey.

As in Real Madrid, he still wears the number seven jersey.

Real Madrid's white number seven has died, he will be reborn in Naples.
