Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter 164: He will be born again in Naples (third update, ask for a monthly pass!)

On July 25, 2010, an unexpected and shocking news came to countless Real Madrid fans.

Real Madrid's Raúl Gonzalez has officially moved freely to Serie A team Naples, and he will report to his new club on the 27th.

The news caused a sensation when it came out.

In fact, before this, many voices were saying "Raul is going to **** off!" "Raul is leaving Real Madrid!" "Real Madrid doesn't want Raul anymore!" "There is no room for two tigers, Mourinho will definitely drive Raul away!" "Florentino was something that could not be completed in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, and it will definitely be completed in the second phase!"

The city was full for a while, everyone thought Raul would disappear the next day.

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

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

So this is true and reliable news. Because this is the news from Real Madrid's official website.

Raul really left?

The legend that once caused countless people to flock to the Bernabéu just to chant his name is really gone?

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

"Yes...yes, it's true. Raul has left the club... Later, we will hold a special press conference to inform you about this, so stay tuned..."

Florentino pushed his gold-rimmed glasses on the TV screen, full of regret: "I personally regret this. But what I want to say is that Raul took the initiative to propose everything. Yes, he is a very respectable person. On his last day at Real Madrid, he is worthy of the great title of'captain'..."

Mourinho, wearing 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. The contradiction is different from what you think. We had an in-depth conversation... I wish him the best of luck. What I want to say is-whether in Bernabéu or Naples, he will always be the Raul..."

Real Madrid’s current first team captain Casillas was blocked by reporters in the parking lot. If he didn’t answer questions, he obviously didn’t want to leave here.

"Raul is my forever elder brother, he is the spiritual leader of the team. This will not disappear with his departure. All of us will miss him, he is my leader in Real Madrid... I am very grateful to him..."

"Look, Raul. You haven't left yet, these people are already anxious to deliver their eulogy."

When Raúl Gonzalez looked up and focused on the TV, his agent, Ginez Carvajal (gines_carvajal), hummed disdainfully.

"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 has taken care of Casillas' career for the previous fourteen years.

Raul didn't speak up, he just looked at the TV screen in a dream.

On July 26, Real Madrid arranged a farewell press conference for Raúl at the Bernabéu. The club chairman, head coach and Raúl all attended.

The media gathered, all want to hear what Raul said about this matter.

This is only one day, and there are many versions of the reason for Raul's departure. Some people said he left voluntarily, some said he was forced away by Mourinho, some said it was a ruthless hand under Florentino, and some said it was part of the change of power in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Casillas I also played a less glorious role in it...

Anyway, there is no sound.

Rumors are flying all over the sky.

At this time, everyone wants to hear what Raul said.

Raul sat on a high platform, with microphones and voice recorders with various logos in front of him, voice recorders, and mobile phones holding calls...

He glanced down at the black hole microphones directed at him.

"Thank you very much for sending me off. It is not easy to make the decision to leave. But it is really my own decision. No one has ever forced me. I am very grateful to the Real Madrid Club and to President Florentino. Thanks also to Mr. Mourinho..."

Someone curled his lips below: "I know, 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 would say bad things about 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. He and the club are at odds with each other, everyone knows..."

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

Raul continued on the stage.

"I admit that I want to stay very, very much. Until now, at this moment, I also want to stay, dreaming that one day I can wear Real Madrid jerseys and wave goodbye to tens of thousands of fans at the Bernabéu Stadium... But unfortunately, I Must leave early."

Speaking of this, some old reporters in the audience can't help but wipe their eyes. Which of them hasn't been interviewing Real Madrid for decades? Almost watching Raul grow from a young boy who was only promoted to the first team from the second team to a world superstar, he has the same feelings for Raul as his father. The scene that Raul said just now was obviously what they had imagined countless times.

But unfortunately, this scene will not have a chance to be staged.

This scene has appeared in Zidane, but why can't it appear in Raul?

"I once said,'I love Real Madrid. No one thinks I want to leave, and I have never thought of leaving. But if I have to sacrifice myself for the team so that the team can achieve good results, then I 'Willing to leave', I still say so now, and I really think so. If my departure can make the team better, then I change my clothes and leave. I would rather not retired at the Bernabéu, I only hope Real Madrid The future will be 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 burst into tears.

Raul really said something like this, at first everyone thought he was a show. But now, no one regards him as a show. But how much do you hope 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 thought is that I still want to continue playing, and I don't want to leave too early. So I chose to leave the Bernabéu. Go to Naples. Because Naples is willing to give me this old guy such a chance, I am not going to take care of it." At this point, he turned to look at Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, and smiled at him: "I like Muri A word from Mr. Neo, whether in Bernabéu or Naples, I am the same Raul. Thank you."

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

Raul continued to turn around and look at the camera, and continued: "So I'm sorry, I have to put on the jerseys of other clubs. But my heart will always belong to Real Madrid."

He raised his hand and beat his chest several times. That is his celebration after scoring a goal now. He doesn't kiss his fingers much anymore, beat his chest with his hand, and then compare the "v" gesture, which is what he uses most now.

Finally, he said: "Please rest assured, I will return to Real Madrid, to the Bernabéu. Because I am Raul Gonzalez and I am Raul Gonzalez of Real Madrid. Thank you! "

Throughout the process, there was a warm smile on his face, just like the impression he usually gave people, humble and polite, like the spring breeze, 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 image. In the end, for the future of the team, he left behind the halo 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 watching for a long time, gave the name of the boss of the dressing room to his former brother Casillas, gave Mourinho the authority of all words, and gave all The controversy and blame are taken away, and only my love remains.

There may be people who have a lot of this for Raul, but they can't deny and slander him, and that is his unreserved love for this team. For love, he can stay, 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, watched by everyone, shook hands with head coach Mourinho, general manager Valdano, and club president Florentino in turn, then turned and left the press conference.

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

The next day, Raul appeared in Naples. At the Sao Paulo Stadium, he gave up a grand welcoming ceremony specially prepared for him by the club. Ten thousand Naples fans came to join him. Yesterday he was reported in Spain. Sadly bid farewell to those media reporters from Real Madrid, and went to Naples to report on the grand occasion of Raúl joining.

After undergoing a physical examination, Raul took the two Naples jerseys at home and away and appeared on the stadium with a smile. His name and number were printed on the back of the jerseys.

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

Real Madrid's white shirt No. 7 has died, he will be reborn in Naples.
