Juventus spent £105 million to bring Cristiano Ronaldo from Spain to Italy, playing for Real Madrid for 9 years, scoring 450 goals in 438 appearances for the Galaxy, winning the Ballon d'Or 5 times, the European Golden Boot three times, the Champions League Golden Boot six times, etc. 2009-2018, 9 years of Real Madrid career, leaving is already legendary. The 33-year-old Portuguese superstar will start a new journey!
While people are still talking about Ronaldo's 9-year achievement for Real Madrid, he has come to the Apennines and is ready to lead Juventus to the coveted Champions League. Ronaldo has left his own mark on the legendary No. 7 shirt of Real Madrid, and the No. 7 shirt of Real Madrid has never lacked superstars, before C Ronaldo joined Real Madrid, another man had worn the white and flawless No. 7 shirt, kissed the ring deeply after scoring the goal, and enjoyed the applause of countless fans at the Bernabeu... He was personable and mild-mannered, from which the Ten Thousand Armies took the first rank of enemy general, and his name was Raul Gonzalez Blanco, known as the "Lord of the Rings"
Born on June 27, 1977 in Madrid, Spain, Raúl's parents, like many Spanish parents who want to become Jackie Chan, hope that their children can become footballers or bullfighters, which is the most effective way to get rid of poverty. As the Raul family's early community was close to Atletico Madrid's home stadium, they were early supporters of Atletico Madrid, and Raul showed a football fanaticism earlier than other children of the same age, and on the weekend Raul went to play with friends, and the kick was a whole day...
In 1987, at the age of 10, Raul became famous when he joined the junior team of St Christopher's FC in his area and quickly won the trust of his coach with extraordinary talent. In 1990, the 13-year-old Raúl was discovered by Atletico Madrid's technical director and junior team coach Paco Paula, and immediately joined the Atletico youth team, and Raúl also lived up to the expectations of the youth teams at all levels step by step, but unfortunately the timing was not good, two years later, Atletico was financially strapped, the entire youth team was disbanded, the young Raúl also had to find another way, Atletico missed a generation of Spanish legendary strikers... Leaving Atletico, Raúl was quickly signed by real Madrid, a rival of the same city, and in 1992 Raúl joined the Real Madrid youth team, with his excellent performance in the Real Madrid C team, in October 1994, the 17-year-old genius was selected for the Real Madrid first team, and the legendary road began...
In that summer when you and I were young, the 17-year-old Raúl put on that white shirt for the first time, as pure as his heart, and Raúl became the youngest player in Real Madrid's history to represent a team to start the game, although he failed to score on this special day, this game Real Madrid lost to Zaragoza 2-3. On 5 November, raul made another start against his old club Atletico, and in the 36th minute of the game, Raul received a pass from Laudrup in the middle of the penalty area and scored a blast to score, scoring his debut la Liga goal and helping Real Madrid win 4:2 over Atletico
On 7 January 1995, Real Madrid played catalan giants Barcelona away, which was Raúl's first time in the Spanish national derby, but Raúl's performance was not satisfactory, and he was substituted in the 74th minute of the game, and finally Real Madrid lost 3-0 to Camp Nou, and Raúl's first derby also ended in failure. In real madrid's first season, Raul scored 9 goals in 28 appearances in La Liga, and won the la Liga championship with the team at the time, successfully elected the best rookie in La Liga, and Raúl became the "golden boy" of Spain.
On September 13, 1995, Raúl made his first appearance in the Champions League, but Real Madrid lost 0-1 away to Dutch powerhouse Ajax, and on October 18, Real Madrid bloodied Ferencvaros 6-1 at home, in which Raúl shined, scoring his first goal in the Champions League and scoring a hat-trick! Become the youngest player to score a hat-trick in Champions League history.
In the 96-97 season, Croatian legendary striker Davao Souk joined Real Madrid to partner Raul as a striker, and with the help of these two goalscorers, Real Madrid won the La Liga title again after two years, and Raúl became the new banner of Real Madrid. In the 97-98 season, Real Madrid only finished fourth in La Liga, but in the Champions League, Real Madrid successfully reached the final and met juventus of the Bianconeri. In the final final, with Mijatovic's goal, Real Madrid won a small victory over Juventus by 1 goal, and finally lifted the 7th Champions League trophy in the history of the team after 32 years, Raul fulfilled his dream, he held this trophy tightly in his arms and Real Madrid to the top of Europe.
In the 99-00 season, the 7th round of La Liga staged the Spanish national derby, Real Madrid drew 2-2 with Barca, this game Raúl achieved a double, scoring the second goal he put his index finger on his lips and made a shut-up gesture to the fans in the Camp Nou stands, this scene made the Catalans hate to the bone, but it also laid the golden boy's unshakable sacred status in the hearts of white fans, and also became the most classic picture of Raúl's career. Agile but elegant, elegant and domineering, Raul is on his way to becoming King of the Bernabeu...
In the 99-00 season, although Real Madrid could not achieve further results in the league, it became more and more courageous in the Champions League, Real Madrid eliminated many strong opponents all the way and reached the final to meet Valencia, which was a "Spanish civil war", in which Real Madrid scored 3 goals without mercy, and Raúl ran 50 meters on the Stade de France, and then gracefully swung past Valencia goalkeeper Canizáres like a violin, and finally pushed the ball into the goal with his right foot, which also became an eternal classic of the Champions League... Raúl won the Champions League Golden Boot with 10 goals to help Real Madrid win their second Champions League title in three years.
In the 00-01 season, Raúl transformed from a "golden boy" to a "prince", he helped Real Madrid win the La Liga championship with 24 goals in the league, won the La Liga Golden Boot for the second time, and scored 7 goals in the Champions League to win the Champions League top scorer. In the 01-02 season, Raúl once again set the lead for Real Madrid in the Champions League final, and then Zidane scored a goal from the sky, and finally Real Madrid defeated Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 to win the ninth Champions League trophy in the history of the team, and Real Madrid entered its heyday. Although Zidane's celestial flying fairy became the focus of the game, Raul was also indispensable, and he kissed the ring on his right hand deeply after scoring the goal, earning himself the reputation of "Lord of the Rings".
Raúl helped Real Madrid achieve their greatest achievement in nearly 20 years, winning the Champions League three times in six years, la Liga twice and even the European Super Cup. Raúl also won the La Liga Golden Boot twice and dominated the Champions League top scorers twice, which belonged to Raúl's era. In 2003, under Florentino's superstar policy, superstars like Hierro and Morientes left Real Madrid one after another, and at this time, the 26-year-old Raúl took over the captain's armband of the old captain Hierro and became the youngest captain in real Madrid history.
Real Madrid under the influence of Florentino's superstar policy, Zidane, Beckham, Carlos, Da Luo and other superstars have come to the Bernabeu, Real Madrid entered the "Galactic Battleship" period, this era of Real Madrid is very popular. With the arrival of various superstars, Raúl's position is becoming more and more "marginalized", at the peak of his career, the team has never found a tactical playing style that can maximize Raúl's ability and the combination of major stars, not only that, Raúl voluntarily sacrificed himself, he put down his forward talent, retreated, defended, and scrambled in the team where the stars gathered, constantly adapting to the new position he was not familiar with, to assume the responsibility of being the captain, he experienced the longest goal drought in his career, But he became the most active player in the team's running...
Even in such a situation, Raul is still playing the role of his captain, the role of leader. For Real Madrid fans, there can be many superstars, but there is only one captain. Raúl has never been portrayed by others, not anyone's prince, unable to speak sensational words, only when he danced that elegant bullfighting dance, did he find that the love had long been integrated into his heart, perhaps only because only he could truly understand the meaning of this white.
In June 2009, Florentino was elected president of Real Madrid, and in September, Real Madrid brought the 24-year-old C Ronaldo to the Bernabeu with 96 million euros, and stars such as Kaka and Benzema also joined Real Madrid, and the "Galaxy Phase II" set sail. But captain Raul has to face fierce intra-team competition, and the new season is more on the bench. On July 26, 2010, Real Madrid held a press conference at the Bernabeu to announce the official departure of captain Raúl from Real Madrid, Raúl hugged the Real Madrid celebrities, tearfully walked to the stadium to say goodbye to the fans, bid farewell to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where he had played for 16 years, and passed the No. 7 shirt to the young Crisano Ronaldo. In the long history of the White Army for 115 years, Raúl left his own No. 7 legend.
Remember the dancing teenager who made the shut-up gesture at camp Nou, remember the prince in white who kissed the ring after that goal, tomorrow you will remember that Raul was the captain of the Galactico, he was the elegant prince who came out of the Bernabeu, he was the Lord of the Rings who turned a thousand words into a kiss.
