On August 23, 2013, in the Bernabeu Cup match between Real Madrid and Al Sadd, Raul Gonzalez, the former "Prince" of Real Madrid and the eternal "Lord of the Rings" in the green world, returned to the Bernabeu after three years.

After the game, Raul looked at the stadium that had been with him for sixteen years, tears filled his eyes and he couldn't control himself. In the excitement of the moment, Raul fell to his knees and gave a deep kiss to the grass of the Bernabeu Stadium.

From his debut to becoming famous, Raul was dubbed the "Lord of the Rings" because of his signature celebration of kissing his wedding ring after scoring a goal.

Apart from the wedding ring wrapped around his finger, it was only at the Bernabeu that Raul gave his second kiss.

In his heart, the Santiago Bernabeu has the same status as his wife. It is the holy place where he has devoted his life.

That kiss condensed Raul's sixteen-year career in white clothes, and that kiss also brought the memories of the Meilingers who loved him back to the distant past...

Giggs said that Raul has a pair of legs that will always be seventeen years old.

Meilingers say that Raul has a heart that will always be seventeen years old.

When he was seventeen, Raul looked like the boy next door who had just grown up, with a charming smile.

His smile is intoxicating, like a clear water in a deep pool.

At the same time, this clear pool of water is also a bit cool, cold, icy, and cold. There is always a hint of melancholy and sadness hidden in Raul's pure smile.

So, later there was the famous saying about Raul, "Raul is a young man who can make countless women feel maternal love..."

These two temperaments have accompanied Raul throughout his career.

At the age of seventeen, that is, in 1994, two years after joining the Real Madrid youth training team, Raul met the man of his life. Valdano had a keen eye for gold and discovered Raul. He took Raul with him. To the first team.

From then on, Raul officially put on a white jersey as white as jade, and that white jersey stayed with him for sixteen years.

In the past sixteen years, we will never forget his bravery and heroism in blocking the arch-rival Barcelona for Real Madrid several times.

The 1994-1995 season was Raul's first season with Real Madrid. Raul, who had just joined Real Madrid, performed well. In his second appearance in La Liga, he scored his first goal in the league and broke the goal of his old club Atletico Madrid.

That season, the fledgling Raul scored nine goals and Real Madrid won La Liga, ending Barcelona's previous record of four consecutive La Liga titles.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2001-2002 season, Raul scored the goal of Barcelona and Real Madrid advanced to the final and eventually won the championship.

After Raul got married, he would kiss the wedding ring on his finger every time he scored a goal. This celebration almost became his label.

But there was one exception. In the La Liga match between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 1999-2000 season, Raul made a gesture to silence Camp Nou after scoring a goal. The scene is still talked about by fans to this day.

The second leg of the El Clasico in the 2004-2005 season had just begun. Raul was hit on the eyebrow by Puyol. He was bleeding and did not flinch. He returned to the court after a simple bandage. Raul, who persisted in the game despite the injury, scored a goal. Goal, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 4-2.

Although Real Madrid was completely suppressed by Barcelona that season, the Real Madrid stars won respect for Real Madrid in that game.

In that game, Raul, who was in white clothes and stained with blood, seemed to be Zhao Zilong, who was wearing a blood-soaked robe from Changbanpo and fought against Cao Jun, reappearing in the world. "A white robe stained with blood, Dangyang always has this heart."

Raul's daring loyalty to the Santiago Bernabeu and Zhao Yun's iron-blooded loyalty to the Shu Han are just like the white shirts they each wear, pure and flawless, shining brightly to the sun and the moon.

Raul scored a total of 15 goals in El Clasico during his 16-year Real Madrid career, which made him Barcelona's real nemesis.

In the past sixteen years, we will never forget his iconic move that shone on the court several times - "The Death String".

When the murderous Bayu dance music played by the "Life-Destroying Strings" gurgled out from Raul's feet, the opponent was inadvertently killed invisible and died under the strings.

In the first half of stoppage time of Schalke 04's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the 2010-2011 season, Raul received a direct pass from Jurado and drove straight into the penalty area. After that, he eased his waist and gently touched his ankle. With a flick of the musician's graceful action of plucking the strings, he easily passed Cesar and scored.

That goal was the last "life-threatening string" that Raul left on the green field, and that string also brought the memory of Raul to the very beginning of his time at Real Madrid.

Raul's opponents in his last game in La Liga and his first game in La Liga were Zaragoza.

In 1994, Raul made his La Liga debut in a match between Real Madrid and Zaragoza. In his first appearance in La Liga, Raul received an assist.

At the same time, Raul also contributed the classic "Death String". He cleverly passed the defender and then shot decisively and almost scored.

In the 1998 Toyota Cup final between Real Madrid and Vasco da Gama, Raul used the "Death String" action twice in a row to break through the defense and score. Real Madrid beat their opponent 2-1 to win the championship.

Raul's most classic "life-threatening string" occurred in the 1999-2000 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Valencia.

He strode from the midfield with the ball into the penalty area and then passed the goalkeeper to score. Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3-0. Raul's most classic "death string" won him his second Champions League trophy.

"The Death String" is Raul's signature weapon, which makes Raul unique. The terrifying murderous aura exuded by the "Death String" often knocks his opponent down.

The natural sounds of life played by the "Death Strings" seem to have become the symphony of destiny in Raul's Real Madrid career...

During his sixteen-year career in white, Raul left behind his hard work and tears, his own pursuit and yearning, his own joy, and his own sadness at the Bernabeu.

Before 2002, Raul was the most glorious and happiest time in Real Madrid. He won three Champions League titles in Real Madrid from 1997-1998, 1999-2000 and 2001-2002.

In those years, he was surrounded by Valdano, his first coach who became the general manager of Real Madrid and met him, Del Bosque, his favorite coach, Hierro whom he regarded as his elder brother, and his good friends Su Ke, The great Laudrup had his lifelong confidant Morientes. However, all this came to nothing after 2003. After that year, Real Madrid changed, so much that Raul felt strange and even frightened.

In 2003, Real Madrid began to implement the one-star-per-year policy. Hierro was kicked out by Real Madrid, Del Bosque was fired, and Morientes was loaned to Monaco.

In the 2003-2004 season, Real Madrid lost all four major players.

Giggs said that Raul has a pair of legs that will always be seventeen years old.

Meilingers say that Raul has a heart that will always be seventeen years old.

When he was seventeen, Raul looked like the boy next door who had just grown up, with a charming smile.

His smile is intoxicating, like a clear water in a deep pool.

In the European War, Morientes, who was exiled by Real Madrid, killed his old club. When Real Madrid was eliminated by Monaco, Raul and Morientes hugged each other and cried.

"It would be nice if we wore the same color clothes."

This sentence and the stories in the market about the four agreements between them sublimated Raul's complicated feelings towards Real Madrid to the extreme that year...

After that, Real Madrid began the most embarrassing period of the Champions League for six years.

Raul witnessed it all during his final period at Real Madrid. He witnessed the retirement or departure of the first phase of Galaxy Battlestars.

Witnessed Real Madrid winning the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 La Liga titles in the domestic arena during the downturn in the Champions League.

Witnessed the joining of Kaka and Ronaldo. Witnessed Robben and Sneijder, who were expelled from Real Madrid, meeting up in the Champions League final at the Bernabeu.

Witnessed the beginning of the formation of the second phase of Galaxy Battleship.

Along with this period of history, Raul gradually became marginalized in Real Madrid. His playing time became less and less. He went from the main player to the main substitute until he was completely reduced to a bench player. And he also changed from a young boy who was in the early days to a green world. The twilight people, their grace disappears and their youth fades away.

In April 2010, in Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Zaragoza, Ronaldo assisted Raul and scored Real Madrid's last goal.

On that day, the two stars completed the handover of Real Madrid's No. 7 jersey.

In July 2010, Real Madrid officially announced that Raul would transfer to Schalke 04.

On the day he left, Raul couldn't wipe away the tears from his eyes. He chose self-exile. He chose to leave Spain instead of playing for other teams in La Liga to avoid playing against Real Madrid. He only had infinite love for Real Madrid without any trace of it. He gave everything he had for Real Madrid. Behind Raul’s leaving figure are the three golden Champions League trophies he won at Real Madrid...

Mr. Xi Murong once said, "What I thought I gained was what I gave up. What I thought I gained was actually what I lost."

When recounted from Raul's club career to his national team journey, these words can't help but hit my heart.

After winning the UEFA Champions League in the 1997-1998 season, Raul went to France with Spain to participate in the 1998 World Cup.

In the first game against Nigeria, Raul scored his first World Cup goal.

However, during that period, Spain, known as the "King of Qualifiers", fell into a slump as soon as it entered the competition. In the 1998 World Cup, Spain failed in the group stage.

After winning the UEFA Champions League in the 1999-2000 season, Raul participated in the 2000 European Cup with Spain. The tragic Raul missed a penalty kick in the quarter-finals with France, and Spain stopped there.

After winning the UEFA Champions League in the 2001-2002 season, Raul traveled to South Korea and Japan with Spain to participate in the 2002 World Cup.

That was Raul's best tournament. Raul scored three goals in the group stage and Spain won all three games to advance to the top 16. Ireland advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Ireland in a penalty shootout in the 1/8 finals. But Raul was injured in the game against Ireland. In the quarter-finals, he sat on the bench and witnessed his national team die in the dark shadow of South Korea...

After winning the La Liga championship in the 2006-2007 season and the 2007-2008 season, Raul proved that his sword is still young and his heroic style is still there.

He was eager to use this to be selected for the Spanish team to participate in the 2008 European Cup, but his performance did not impress Aragones, and he did not appear in the Spanish squad for the 2008 European Cup.

Since then, Raul has completely bid farewell to the national team.

But the Spanish team began to sweep the world from that tournament, established a dynasty, and dominated world football for six years.

These illustrious honors that shocked the past and the present do not belong to Raul. Raul's national team career has only tragedy, only regret, only loneliness, and only sadness.

Every tragedy, sadness, loneliness and regret in Raul's national team career will often follow the glory, success, glory and gold cup of his club career. Perhaps this is the fateful knot of life and death that Raul will never be able to untie in his green career... …

Raul is the name of a football star, and Raul is also the name of a flower.

Looking back on Raul's green life, it's like watching "Those Flowers" or listening to "Those Flowers" in a dream. In the dream, the flowers are blooming all over the sky, and in the dream, there are countless flowers falling...

Cristiano Ronaldo has been making a splash all summer. It seems that Real Madrid is looking for a new superstar to replace the No. 7 position at the Bernabeu. But what makes me confused is that they didn’t buy a superstar!

Bought a Courtois?

What does Navas think?

Since last summer, I don't quite understand Real Madrid's series of operations. Maybe they are playing a big game?

If you don’t buy any of the superstars, why don’t you buy some Xiaoyao scratch-off prizes?

I can also guess that Zidane will leave. There are differences with FP on future development and signings for next season. Zidane wants Hazard for a day or two, and he doesn’t want Bale for a day or two. FP I've been liking Bale for a long time, and I've wanted to buy Neymar for a long time. The key is that Paris is not short of money, and Bale's soleus muscles are crunchier than his brittle bones.

Azar's attitude is simply that. Okay, do you want the core of other people's cars to kneel down and beg you to buy me?

What are you proud of?

You need results to be the chairman, and you need a stable lineup and superstars to achieve results.

Of course, I didn’t say that FP was going to be privatized. Everyone above is farting. Real Madrid’s nightmare second half of this off-season looks like shit. First of all, Spanish coach Lopetegui betrayed the national team. , causing Real Madrid to be denounced domestically.

This is also where I think fp is stupid. I looked up Lopetegui’s coaching experience. He has coached the Spanish national youth team, Real Madrid B team and Porto, as well as the national team. Next is Real Madrid. Awards include the European Championship U19 , U21, there is nothing to gain from the locker room and the honor of the fans. Secondly, tactical issues.

Since Lopetegui's coaching, the usual lineup has always been 4-3-3. Benzema and Bale are the absolute main players on the front line. Players such as Asensio and Isco continue to try to become one of the front three.

After losing Ronaldo, Real Madrid is actually more like playing a double forward. But after a short period of success at the beginning of the season, neither Benzema nor Bale has been able to become a key player. Lopetegui has actually been actively trying to reform tactics, and he also knows that Real Madrid without Ronaldo needs to change.

Therefore, he copied the tactics he used to lead Spain U21 to win the European Youth Championship in 2013 to Real Madrid: first, to press high; second, to use the full-back position as an attacker again. The most fatal problem is caused by the premise of the full-back position.

After losing Ronaldo, Lopetegui wanted to use Marcelo's premise to form a three-man attack group on the left with Kroos, Isco (Asensio) and others in the frontcourt, while Kavaha was on the right. The trio of Er, Modric and Bale. After the premise of two full-backs,

Midfielder Casemiro retreats to the central defender position most of the time, forming a back three with Ramos and Varane. Without Casemiro's support in the middle, it would be difficult for the left and right attacking groups to respond. In addition, the full-backs are too far forward, causing a serious disconnect between Real Madrid's midfield and backfield.

Once the opponent counterattacks, even if they don't concede the ball, it will consume too much physical energy of the full-back, which leads to Real Madrid's defense always going wrong. It relies on the goalkeeper's extraordinary ability not to concede the ball and the use of Vinicius.

Real Madrid fans were quite dissatisfied. Finally, after losing a big score in El Clasico, they dismissed class sadly. As for Solari, I have no time to analyze. , a Real Sociedad midfielder was crossed,

The backcourt was blown up. It's really sad. To be honest, Real Madrid's midfield level is no longer the iron triangle that it used to be. The Magic Flute is old and has lost money. Fat Tiger and Akuang also have no sense of presence. So strong, 3864 has no ability to take over, and is not as good as Kova. . .

It may also be affected by the hidden dangers of injuries on both sides. Fortunately, Oreo feels pretty good and Bell is still a glass player this season.

I want him to prove that he has the qualifications to be the boss, but he has this strength but not this life. His flounder does not agree. After all, the great sage returns. I feel that Real Madrid is already in its twilight years and has reached a point where it can neither be broken nor established. Unfortunately, some people don't seem to feel it. If a team loses and loses to the point where it doesn't matter whether they win or lose, then it's doomed.

Now many Real Madrid fans are numb from losing.

The unity meme was popular on the forum before, which also reflects Shui Ye's unqualification as a locker room leader, which affects the team's image.

You keep losing. Everything you say is an excuse and a joke. Only when you win can you be qualified to speak. What should you do if the non-Spanish-speaking people in the team have a bad relationship with Ronaldo?

Real Madrid is already fifth in the standings and has lost to some mid-table teams one after another. How will they prepare for the Champions League next year? Do they really want to go to the Europa League? It used to be dark enough for Nian Jukuro.

What a failure, really such a failure.

You said that even if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves, you should buy a superstar to take over. Even if Bale is supported, how can the lineup be thick enough to fight on multiple lines?

Did you buy so many little monsters because you wanted to become a little monster?

Real Madrid is not a small team, not a black club, not a mid-range team, and it is not here to train new players.

Even if you train new players, I can accept it. Originally, what we envied last season was the rise of young players like Axiao. But this season, you have eliminated this point?

Mariano wore No. 7 once for half a season?

Vinicius bought and transferred to the youth team and then recalled?

How to evaluate Real Madrid in the second half of 2018...

Real Madrid hasn't bought a star player for a long time, and its level has declined rapidly. The current performance is equivalent to its level, but the fans can't accept it for a while.

After oil capital enters the football market, teams like Real Madrid are simply unable to compete. Real Madrid will decline, and Barcelona will also decline. In the future, football will be dominated by oil. If there is oil, there will be balls. Without oil, there will be no balls.
