Chapter 605 Raul's not retreating is a demon
When Premier League teams set off a huge wave of bottom-buying in the transfer market in European football, Tottenham Hotspur was also struggling to find alternative candidates in the transfer market after selling four leading stars.
Soon, Tottenham Hotspur posted a news on its official website that the team introduced Belgian goalkeeper Thibor Courtois, who was only 18 years old, from Genk, Belgian team. The Belgian goalkeeper who is 1.99 meters tall has only participated in one game for Genk and replaced him when the main goalkeeper was injured. However, Tottenham Hotspur introduced him to Theoborde and said that Courtois will have the ability to become a top goalkeeper in the future.
Although Tottenham Hotspur did not disclose Courtois' transfer amount to the outside world, it was revealed that the goalkeeper's value was very low, not even a million euros. The purpose of Tottenham Hotspur introducing Courtois was to find a suitable young substitute for Cech.
But Ye Qiu denied this statement on Tottenham Hotspur official website. He said that Courtois was a goalkeeper who was carefully selected by Tottenham Hotspur coaching staff. After careful selection, Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper coach Fris Hawk also highly praised Courtois, believing that the Belgian has a perfect goalkeeper body, and his reaction and goal line skills are excellent. With time, he will definitely have a chance to become a top goalkeeper.
In fact, when choosing a substitute goalkeeper, Ye Qiu had two choices. One was the youth training of Mönchengladbach in Germany | Player Ter Stegen, who is also 18 years old, has very good abilities, especially as a substitute goalkeeper, but Mönchengladbach rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s contact.
So in the end, Tottenham Hotspur chose Belgian Genk's young player Courtois Courtois. Fris Hawk is indeed optimistic about the goalkeeper. He believes that Courtois' future is very bright and there is even hope to challenge Cech.
Of course, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It depends on how much Courtois can learn from Fris Hawk. After all, Cech has benefited a lot from Fris Hawk. The Czechs can become the world's number one goalkeeper, and Fris Hawk has made great contributions.
In addition, Tottenham Hotspur also announced that it would introduce 21-year-old Spanish left-back Jordi Helba from Valencia for a net worth of 3 million euros, a deal that was made through the famous Spanish agent Maloro's tug lead.
Jordi Helba comes from Barcelona's youth training camp Lamacia. She stayed from ten to sixteen years old. Lamacia eliminated him from Lamacia on the grounds of being too short and having poor physical fitness. This was also caused by Lamacia's fierce competition.
After leaving La Macia, Alba continued to train in a local amateur team called Coneglia in Barcelona, and was valued by Valencia, who brought him to Valencia for 6,000 euros, and loaned him to the Tarragona club in the Spanish Second Division in UR year. In the process, Alba also joined Hll's Spanish national team one after another.
With his outstanding performance in the Spanish Second Division, Alba returned to Valencia and gradually gained a foothold in the second half of the 200910 season, but his performance was not very ideal. However, considering his age and technical characteristics, Alba is still quite favored. Because of this, Tottenham Hotspur is willing to distribute a transfer fee of 3 million euros to introduce this Spanish rookie to fill the loopholes left by Coentrand.
In Ye Qiu's view, after the defense line in the new season was supplemented by Nastasic and Varane, the strength of the defense line has been improved. Nastasic's defensive ability and his left-footed player can play on the left, so that if the team wants to adopt a defensive posture on the left, Nastasic will be a good choice
Therefore, Marcelo's substitute on the left was mainly focused on the ability to insert assists, so he introduced Alba.
After Marca and Real Madrid announced the news that Raul was about to leave the team, Tottenham Hotspur also accelerated the discussion of personal treatment with Raul. After all, Raul's personal annual salary in Real Madrid is as high as 6.5 million euros after tax. If this is put in the Premier League, it will indeed affect Tottenham's internal salary structure.
After all, when Raul came to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu could not promise Raul's main position, but after selling Falcao, the team's center was only Cavani. Raul could get more opportunities after joining the team. Ye Qiu himself was also optimistic about Raul. He always felt that Raul's ability was very outstanding, not only reflected in goals.
In the end, Raul reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur through his agent and agent Maloro. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement to transfer to Tottenham Hotspur at a price of 6 million euros before tax, according to the newly implemented tax rate in the Premier League, that is, the price of 3 million euros after tax. At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur obtained half of Raul's portrait rights, and half of all business operations were given to Raul.
During the negotiations, Tottenham Hotspur gave a business operation plan to Raul and his agent team. According to this plan, during the contract period, Tottenham Hotspur expects Raul's annual business operation income to be around 5 million to 8 million euros. After all, Raul has accumulated a considerable influence in Real Madrid over the years.
If the agreement between the two parties is divided by half, Raul can get the annual salary income of Real Madrid, which is just a conservative estimate. Of course, Raul is certain to join. After all, commercial income also has a share of the income in Real Madrid. However, Tottenham and Tottenham lower Raul's salary on the one hand, and on the other hand, it provides subsidies for commercial operations.
Moreover, from Raul, Tottenham Hotspur has adopted a floating salary structure. If Raul performs well in the team or the team can continue to win in the Premier League and the Champions League this season, Raul's salary can be up to 3.5 million euros after tax.
After going to London and signing a professional contract with Tottenham Hotspur, Raul returned to Madrid and participated in the farewell party prepared by Real Madrid for him. What no one expected was that Raul was recognized by all the fans until the farewell time. Thousands of Real Madrid fans were waiting at the Bernabeu Stadium and trying to keep Raul. Even the king of Spain called Raul himself and said goodbye to him.
At this farewell party, Raul expressed his gratitude to everyone. Although Florentino once again bears the infamy of driving away meritorious stars, he still gives Raul a very high evaluation. When Raul finally explained why he left Real Madrid, he repeatedly said that no one forced him or put pressure on him.
"The reason I chose to leave is because I think I am still a professional player and my physical condition is OK. I continue to stay in shape and continue to compete on the football field, so I chose to leave Real Madrid, but what I want to say is that my deep love and respect for Real Madrid, as long as I need it, Raul always obeys Real Madrid's call."
Raul's farewell will attract many Real Madrid celebrities to participate, including legends from clubs such as Piri, Butragno, Bardano, etc. Although Bosque, Jero, Redondo and others did not appear at the Bernabeu due to conflicts with Florentino, they still conveyed their support and affirmation of Raul through the media through phone calls.
"In my impression, Raul has never been a burden or trouble for anyone. He chose to leave the Bernabeu, which is a very brave decision. I firmly believe that he can show his strength in Tottenham Hotspur.
Compared to Boske's gentle remarks, Yero seemed a little empathetic.
"I absolutely believe that Raul can succeed at Tottenham Hotspur. He will make everyone who underestimate him regret it. At the same time, I also want to say that losing Raul will not only lose the fans of Real Madrid, but also all the Spanish fans. Those who have attacked Raul will definitely regret it."
Redondo also said in an interview that Raul's departure proved the loss of the traditional spirit of Real Madrid. He believed that no one in the current Real Madrid team could take over the flag left by Raul, even Casillas would not do.
"Jero can control the locker room because of his personal charm and appeal, which makes everyone convinced him. Raul is different. Raul convinced everyone that he is the tolerant and lead by example, which has won the respect and love of all his teammates, but after Raul, who can take over the banner of the Real Madrid captain?"
Real Madrid honorary chairman Distefano, who is in his eighties, is currently hospitalized due to illness. Raul went to the hospital to visit the idol. Distefano only whispered to Raul from beginning to end, but no one knows what he said. When Raul left, Distefano cried in front of the media.
It is obvious that Distefano was disappointed by Raul's departure, but both he and Raul refused to announce the words they said when they whispered to each other. Perhaps this would become a secret between the two.
After attending the farewell meeting at the Bernabeu Stadium, Raul went directly from Madrid to London. His agent had begun to find a house for him in London. At the same time, Tottenham Hotspur also said that Raul himself refused the appearance ceremony and hoped to greet Tottenham Hotspur fans with his performance in a game.
So, after arriving in London, Raul directly participated in Tottenham Hotspur training class.
The morning before Tottenham went to the Netherlands for the Amsterdam Invitational, Tottenham made an exception to let Theoborde shutdown, allowing all Tottenham members and fans to come to the training base to watch the team's morning training sessions, and everyone knew that this was Raul's appearance.
Because of this, this morning, the team training camp, hundreds of fans poured into the Theobord training base an hour ago. This was because Theobord controlled the number of people, and there were dozens of media reporters, all of whom came to the Theobord training base early to prepare.
According to the news released by Tottenham Hotspur’s official website, in the past two days, Tottenham Hotspur has sold 150,000 Raul’s home and away jersey orders in London’s fan shops and online shops. However, unlike his No. 7 jersey in Real Madrid, Raul chose No. 24 jersey, just after Beckham of No. 23 jersey.
As early as Tottenham Hotspur announced the jersey number for the new season, Raul smiled and explained the reason for choosing No. 24 in an interview. "When I talked with Mr. Ye Qiu, which is our head, he joked with me that my name is very destined to be the same as No. 2 in Chinese, and my good friend David, chose No. 23, so I chose No. 24."
"You know, he went to Spain before, and that was my territory, so he had to give in to me, and now I came to England, his territory, so I had to give in to him, because I was worried that he would take this opportunity to retaliate against me." After saying that, Raul's face showed a brilliant heart-felt smile that was rare in the past few years.
But in fact, when Raul and Beckham, two former superstars, met in front of the first-team training building of Theobord, they said nothing, walked over and hugged each other tightly, with a very good gay friend's rhythm.
According to the Times, not only did there be no problem between Raul and Beckham, after Raul's family came to London, Beckham invited them to visit Beckingham Palace, and temporarily lent a property in London to Raul, and then moved away after they found the house.
Judging from this series of actions, there is no problem between them.
Just when everyone was looking forward to whether something would happen in Raul's first training class to Tottenham Hotspur, they saw Raul enter Theoborde and greeted Tottenham Hotspur players such as Beckham, Messi, Fabregas, David Silva, Ribery, Cavani, etc., and said for a while near the training building. Fabregas and others also took a few photos with Raul on their mobile phones and posted them on Weibo to show off.
Then everyone entered the locker room, changed their clothes, and returned to the first team training ground.
Soon, Ye Qiu and the coaching staff also entered the training ground on time, and he did not specifically introduce Raul, but just asked everyone to train as usual, and the training events were not much different from those of normal times.
In the second half of the morning training class, Ye Qiu arranged an internal confrontation game, but this internal confrontation game was not distinguished by strict main players and substitutes. Raul was assigned to the group with Neymar, Messi, David Silva, Thiago Silva and others, and Raul acted as the center forward of the offensive trident in the frontcourt.
When Cavani played center, he used his active running and pulling in the frontcourt to disrupt the opponent's defense line. However, when Ye Qiu arranged a group confrontation, he specially called Raul to the side and kept explaining something to Raul's ear. This was also the only exchange between the two in the whole training class.
Ye Qiu's intention is that Raul should not push too far, because he is not the type of powerful center, and he should retreat in his position and become a supportive striker. His main task is to receive passes from the midfield and support both wings at the same time.
The reason why superstars are superstars is mainly because their technical characteristics are very mature and stable. Although Raul was participating in Tottenham Hotspur's team training for the first time, he still showed his superb footwork skills. Especially as a player in the center, Raul does not lack the opportunity to retreat back and get the ball, but he rarely conceded the ball under the defense of Kompany and Varane.
At first, no one noticed it, but as the competition progressed, everyone began to realize one thing, that is, after Raul adapted to the beginning, he quickly proved himself to everyone.
When he was retreating to meet David Silva, Raul received the ball and faced the attacking side. When he saw Neymar had already reached the position, Raul pushed the ball with his left foot and directly sent the ball into the penalty area in a straight line. However, this time Neymar's running position was not smart enough. He was always pressed by Varane to the inside and could not receive Raul's wonderful pass.
If this scene is seen by fans, they will definitely think that it is Raul's pass mistake, but in the eyes of some more professional reporters, Raul's pass is the best way to deal with it. Neymar just needs to catch the ball from the outside and hit the goal with his left foot, which is very convenient, and Varane cannot stop it.
So I saw the reporter applauding, and the fans also applauded after seeing the reporter applauding.
After a useless sprint, Neymar made an apology gesture to Raul while running back, and the Spaniard also made a move to the left toward him, saying that he should have just gone a little further, so that it is convenient to catch the ball and kick.
After all, Varane limits the chance of passing to Neymar's feet, so if you want to catch the ball, you have to use your speed and running position to create space instead of following Varane so that you can't run out of Varane's defensive area at all.
Soon, Raul seemed to feel that it was not enough to pass Neymar. Yu Qian went up by himself. When he was retreating to meet the midfield, Coutinho chose to cooperate with Messi, while the Argentinian took the ball and cut inside on the right. Raul chose to directly hit the opponent's left post from the left side of the top of the penalty area.
Messi quickly passed the ball with his left foot and passed it to the left side of the other side. Raul was not very fast, especially Varane who was defending him. But strangely, he cleverly blocked Varane with his body, making it difficult for the young French central defender to hinder Raul from receiving the ball. Raul seemed to know Varane's thoughts very well. After chasing the ball, he directly buckled the ball with his left foot and hit the right side behind Varane instead of hitting the ball. This made Varane, who suddenly wanted to stop suddenly, lose balance and fell on the grass.
After Raul quickly hit the right, Cech reacted very quickly and attacked immediately, but this was obviously within Raul's expectations. He took a step forward and poked the ball directly at the toe of his left foot. The ball was moving directly into the right post and hit the side net.
The ball has entered
At this moment, Raul showed everyone the strength of his top superstar
Even though he is thirty-three years old, he has never been a player who relies on his youth, his health and his speed to make a living.
For a player like him who lives on the court based on consciousness and wisdom, the older he is and the more experience he is, the more terrifying he is, the more he is.
In Ye Qiu's motherland, there was a saying that old but not dead is a monster
