In other words, his life under Florentino has been like this. During the first phase of Galacticos, Florentino purged Hierro, Morientes and others one after another.
Hierro is Raul's eldest brother, and Morientes is Raul's best friend.
Both of them have a very close relationship with Raul.
But Florentino did not hesitate to purge them. Including Redondo, the personal relationship with Raul is very good.[
Then the successive introduction of superstars made Raul's status worse and worse. If it weren't for Raul's huge influence in Madrid, Florentino might have even purged Raul.
Of course, in order to compete with so many superstars, Spain's local players consciously surrounded Raul and became a huge force.
This is also the emergence of local gangs.
There are many problems in the Real Madrid dressing room.
It has a lot to do with Florentino introducing too many superstars.
With the resignation of Florentino, Raul's influence at the Bernabeu has increased sharply again. Raul during the Calderon period was the only symbol of the Bernabeu.
And because Calderon failed to introduce a superstar to compete with Raul, Raul was shaken at the Bernabeu.
Some media even once believed that Raul was the emperor of Real Madrid.
But with Florentino taking over, Raul felt the pressure again.
Huge pressure.
Florentino is a strong person and will not allow a figure like Raul to exist in Real Madrid.
This season, under Pellegrini, Raul has been on the bench for thousands of years. This is the first time in Raul's career. Pellegrini, a coach with few championships, does not have the guts to put Raul on the bench.
On the table.
This must be what Florentino meant.
Raul understands this.
Of course Raul is old.
Raul, who is already 32 years old this season, is almost 33 years old this year.
In a giant club like Real Madrid, a club full of superstars, it is difficult for Raul to get a starting position. But Raul still wants to play games.
He refused to admit defeat.
But it doesn’t work anymore.[
Raul has communicated with Real Madrid's top brass.
Real Madrid executives don't want to keep Raul. Because Raul has too much influence in the Bernabeu, in the locker room, and among Real Madrid members. But Real Madrid executives don't want Real Madrid to have a locker room with Raul on the bench.
leader.
Real Madrid's top brass are currently cultivating a new local representative.
Casillas.
Casillas has all the achievements to succeed Raul. He is a veteran of Real Madrid and the main goalkeeper of the first phase of Galacticos. His achievements in recent years have also been outstanding, and he even won the European Cup as the captain of the national team.
It is a pity that as long as Raul is still around in Real Madrid, it is impossible for Casillas to truly become the leader of the locker room in the Real Madrid locker room.
Raul is blocking Casillas's way.
Therefore, the thinking of Real Madrid's top management is very simple.
Raul must leave.
But Florentino also doesn't want to be accused of forcing the hero. Because Raul is one of the greatest stars in the history of Real Madrid, and his influence is much greater than that of Hierro, Morientes, and Redondo.
Even Florentino is not willing to clean up such a player casually.
So we are negotiating.
I hope we can break up peacefully.
Raul knows his situation. Florentino is a strong chairman. Now that Raul has the sense to leave Real Madrid, he can still break up peacefully. Once he does not understand the situation, it may be purged.
At that time, both sides will look bad.
So Raul is also considering it.
Think about your future.
"Didi didi"
"Hello Raul."
While hesitating, Raul received a call from Su Yun.
"Hello, Sue."
Raul was quite surprised to receive a call from Su Yun.[
"Raul, is it true that you are leaving Real Madrid?"
Asking knowingly.
However, Su Yun still has to ask Raul. It is definitely not a simple matter for a club like Raul to leave.
After hearing Su Yun's question, Raul was silent for a while.
silence.
Although this is almost a well-known thing, it is a bit difficult for Raul to say it himself. In other words, Raul simply cannot say it. He cannot say that he is leaving the Bernabeu, so he can only remain silent.
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and Su Yun was completely convinced. So he continued: "Raul, what do you think of the Bundesliga?"
Only then did Raul understand what Su Yun meant.
Raoul didn't fully understand it at first, but until this moment he understood Su Yun's thoughts.
Su Yun is inviting himself to Dortmund.
Raul pondered for a moment and whispered: "Let me think about it, okay?"
Raul doesn't talk much.
But at this time, every word he said was important. Therefore, he did not dare to express his position casually.
"Okay. But Raul, now is the time for our Dortmund team to produce results. We need experienced players like you to take charge. Let our young players mature quickly. I need you."
Su Yun is very sincere.
But this is just the preliminary jehu. It is only April now and there is still some time before the end of the season. Su Yun is not in a hurry. Su Yun and Raul jehu now just want to seize the opportunity before Raul makes a decision.
Even though Raul is 33 years old and can't find a starting position in Real Madrid, there are definitely not just one or two clubs that are interested in him.
After all, where is Raul's reputation and where is Raul's strength.
There are many clubs interested in him.
"I will seriously consider it."
Su Yun and others are completely different.
The relationship between the two has always been good.
Raul has always had a good impression of Su Yun.
Therefore, Raul needed to think carefully about Su Yun's invitation. After putting down the phone, Raul was also thinking about the future.
He got many invitations.
Among them are invitations from Major League Baseball. The biggest advantage of their invitation is that the salary they offer is very high. There are also teams in the Middle East that invite Raul.
But Raul hesitated.
Because Raul does not think that at the age of 33, he has reached the point of retirement. He believes that he can still play games. He can still play games in the five major leagues.
Although the salary they offered was very high, Raul knew that once he went to Major League Baseball or the Middle East, he would completely leave the mainstream European leagues.
He also admitted to himself that he wanted to retire.
He doesn't want to, he doesn't want to.
He refuses to accept old age.
Besides them there are also some clubs inviting Raul.
Including Ferguson's Manchester United.
Ferguson invited Raul, hoping that Raul could come over to supplement Manchester United's current striker.
But Raul was even more hesitant.
Because Manchester United is also a giant. Although it is not as good as Real Madrid, the world's number one giant, it is also ranked among the top giants in European football. Their forwards include Rooney, Berbatov, and some young players from the youth training.
Although Raul has always been confident in his own ability, he is really not sure about being a regular at Old Trafford.
Even Raul seems, Manchester United and Real Madrid yyng.
Raul goes to Manchester United. It's just an emergency. Or it will be like Real Madrid's yyng, who will sit through the bench and get the chance to play in some garbage games and garbage time.
Raul didn't want this.
Therefore, he did not agree.
In addition to them, there is another Bundesliga team that invited Raul. That is Dortmund's rival Schalke 04. Their people are very enthusiastic. However, Schalke has little reputation in Raul's eyes.
The reputation is too low.
Although Schalke is a strong team in the Bundesliga, it has no achievements at all in European football. They haven't won a championship in many years, and there is no Bundesliga championship at all.
One of the reasons they convinced Raul was that Schalke is now third in the Bundesliga and qualified to play in the Champions League next season.
This was an attraction for Raul.
Because I can still play in the Champions League.
But Raul didn't expect that Su Yun would call him.
Dortmund is very strong.
Real Madrid have learned this. The important thing is that Dortmund's players are all young talents, and this season's Bundesliga championship is also within their grasp.
This has been the second consecutive season.
Won the Bundesliga title again.
This is an upwardly mobile team.
It would be great if he could join Dortmund. But Raul is still worried. Worried about his current age and condition. It will be difficult for him to get a starting position in Dortmund.
This is something he must consider.
But for Dortmund and Su Yun, Raul is willing to talk to them.
Su Yun's meaning is very simple.
It is absolutely impossible for Raul and Su Yun to promise him an absolute main position. But Su Yun can guarantee that when Raul comes to Dortmund, Su Yun will definitely give him sufficient playing time.
Especially in the Bundesliga, Raul's skills are absolutely outstanding.
Even Mata can't compare to him in this regard.
Where Mata surpasses Raul is that his passing is more lethal than Raul. Mata's fatal passing in the frontcourt is absolutely outstanding. In other aspects, Mata is really not Raul's opponent.
Even Mata's most proud running ability and awareness were not enough in front of Raul.
Therefore, if Raul comes to Dortmund, it will be a complement to Dortmund.
More importantly, Su Yun can let Mata study hard beside Raul. The biggest benefit of old teams to young players is that they can lead them.
Just look at Williams.
Williams and Deschamps only lasted one season together, but in just one season, Williams' defensive ability made a huge difference.
Credit to the veteran players.
Su Yun hopes Raul can give Mata more important experience.
Dortmund's invitation is sincere.
Su Yun's future planning for the team and Raul's use are very attractive to Raul. Although Su Yun did not promise the absolute main position, Raul still prefers Dortmund.
There's just one problem.
Raul's salary issue is plaguing negotiations between the two parties.
Because Raul's current salary is too high.
Raul is willing to cut his salary, but his request still makes it difficult for Dortmund to mny. Because Raul requires a pre-tax salary of 6 million euros, which is indeed much less than at Real Madrid.
Because Raul’s annual salary at Real Madrid is 6.4 million euros after tax.
But even so, it is a salary that is not acceptable to Dortmund.
Too high.
But now that the negotiations have reached this point, the difference in salary is not a big problem. Dortmund still needs to talk to Real Madrid's top management. After all, Raul's contract still has one year left.
Raul comes to Germany without too many problems. (To be continued...)
