Well, add a little bit to Raul's interview in China.

This magazine once published a biography of Raul with the title "Love Raul". The word "friendship" is a vivid expression in China. Now, a China female fan named Zhou Quan finally realized Raul's deep affection and righteousness. The Bernabeu Prince not only showed the best hearts of the Latin people to the China fans who have been following him, but also presented a victory gift to the Real Madrid fans in China on July 23rd. Putting on the captain's armband and coming to China may be Raul's best gift. Through our reporter's follow-up visit, you will know that Raul will bring us more surprises in the future.

"I really can't believe he kissed me! Raul kissed me! Raul. He kissed me! " This is the heartfelt words of a female fan named Quan Zhou at the happiest moment.

Real Madrid came to China twice, leaving behind numerous autographs and photos. Most of the beneficiaries are relatives in the name of the staff member. Maybe they are the people who don't bother players the least, but in fact they bother players the most. The author deeply regrets this lack of professional respect. But it can be said with great certainty that no girl named Zhou Quan is as happy as how many autographed photos these people have, because she is respected and loved by a superstar.

The birth of fairy tales

19-year-old girl Zhou Quan made a special trip from Anshan, Liaoning. Raul is his eternal idol. In order to make Raul feel his love, she made full preparations: she is the initiator and administrator of Raul Fans Chinese Network (www.raulfans.com), wearing a specially printed "Raul Fans Chinese Network" T-shirt and holding a beautiful Raul photo plaque in her hand.

At 3 am on July 20th, Zhou Quan and his companions were already waiting outside the VIP exit of the airport. "I only saw half of his back!" But no one knows whether Raul has seen her. At this moment, I can only confirm that Zhou Quan represents the image of a loyal fan. However, from the airport to the first city in the world and then to Kunlun Hotel, Zhou Quan always waits inside and outside the hall. He hoped Raul could see her and pay attention to her. But in public, players are accompanied by many security personnel to pass quickly, and players can always see the fans for only a moment. Players can never meet the crazy demand of dozens of signatures per person. Many times, they can only choose to stay away.

At this time, the only thing that can impress them is enough respect and sincerity. This is the so-called sincerity, the stone is open. Zhou Quan didn't wait for her signature with a few balls and notebooks in his hand. She carefully chose her own clothes, and she has the most professional fan equipment. The rest is to let Raul see her and let Raul know her love. She is showing, paying, and her equipment and waiting have fully proved this, instead of taking it from one direction. Once, twice and three times, the goddess of luck finally took care of this 19-year-old girl. When Raul saw this special girl many times, he already felt that he should do something.

"I think she is very kind and I can't refuse," Raul said. Just when Raul decided to express something to the girl, on the morning of the fourth day (July 23), Zhou Quan was almost desperate, and she was worried that her idol had never noticed her. When Raul came back from the International Club Hotel, she watched her idol pass by and wept bitterly.

The miracle happened at the moment when tears blurred: a few minutes later, Zhou Quan saw Real Madrid bodyguards go downstairs and pull her out of the crowd. Then he quietly took Zhou Quan to the player's floor. After a while, Raul came out of the room.

Zhou Quan couldn't believe what happened next: Prince Bernabeu, who had been missing for a long time in his dream, kissed her with tears in the warmest way in Spain. Later, Raul picked up a pen and signed his name on the plaque and clothes for Zhou Quan. Zhou Quan took a film camera. Because I installed it in the wrong direction in advance, I was very anxious.

"It doesn't matter," Raul said. Later, Zhou Quan watched his idol personally install camera film for himself, and then asked security personnel to help him take pictures. "Why does the newspaper say that Raul can't speak English and he speaks English very well?" Zhou Quan later said to his fans, "But my English is not that good, and I didn't mean it from beginning to end."

After getting off the elevator, Zhou Quan cried even worse than before 10 times, just like a crybaby (Figure 2), "It's incredible! It's incredible! Raul is really a great guy! I can't believe it! He kissed me! Raul kissed me! Raul he kissed me! " It was because I was so excited, but also because I didn't expect such a fairy tale to happen, I forgot to give Raul my own gift: Raul T-shirt exactly like myself. I had to write a congratulatory message quickly and entrust the reporter of Football Weekly to hand it over.

T-shirts that come in handy

After that, the reporter and Raul went to the coastal city of Siro to participate in business activities. In fact, it is unthinkable for a team like Real Madrid to arrange players to participate in any activities unrelated to the game on the day of the game. But in order to fulfill the commercial contract with China, captain Raul became the only one who had to sacrifice himself for the waiting China fans. In AS's words, "Raul's schedule is as full as that of the head of government, and it's all diplomacy."

Let's take a look at Raul's itinerary on the day of the competition: after breakfast, he met with the Madrid government delegation who was visiting Beijing, and held talks with Vi Lannois, the Economic Commissioner of the Madrid government. Then go to China World Hotel with Beckham to participate in the exhibition activities of the sponsoring company. Then he rushed to the International Club Hotel near Jianguomen and had an informal meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero and his wife. Then return to the hotel, and then set off for the opening ceremony of the fan club in the coastal city of Siro.

The heavy rain on July 23rd made some potholes more muddy. Real Madrid's entourage worried that Raul would catch cold, but Raul tried to joke and comfort that it was no problem. The author told Raul that the little girl forgot to give him the clothes just now. "That's great," Raul said. I made an appointment to give it to him at lunch (2: 30 p.m.) because I will take part in the activity soon.

During the rainstorm, Raul still smiled brightly and respectfully completed the activities such as unveiling, leaving fingerprints and signing the plaque. Back on the bus, he was soaked to the skin.

On the way to the garage, Raul asked the people around him if there were any extra dry clothes to change for him temporarily. The photographer has a real Madrid coat. When Raul is ready to put it on, the author reminds him that there is also a dress from a little girl from China. Raul opened the bag and immediately put on this T-shirt happily. He is very proud. He showed this dress to everyone in the car and asked the author to explain the Chinese characters such as "Raul Fans Chinese Network" and "Love You Forever".

When the bus arrived at Kunlun Hotel, the gate was already full of people. When Raul got off the bus, the fans went crazy. They witnessed Prince Bernabeu, Raul Gonzalez and No.7 Real Madrid, the first idol in Spanish football, coming down from the car. It was not a club jersey or any other famous brand clothing, but a T-shirt with the simplest texture and handwritten Chinese. Then, Raul wore this dress and took photos with all the wives of the Spanish government delegation.

Zhou Quan, who continued to wait, and her colleagues who co-founded Raul Chinese Network witnessed this scene with their own eyes. They hugged and cheered, and they had every reason to be proud of themselves. Because they have no shortcuts, no business contracts, no titles, and no use of media resources to accuse "Real Madrid superstars of playing big cards", they only have sincerity and patience, but only they have really touched their idols and made their dreams come true.

Raul will visit their website, and this dress will become a precious collection in Raul's home.

Flash in the heavy rain

Later, in the game in the heavy rain that day, like Zhou Quan, many fans got a comfort after some regrets: heavy rain and crude turf made C Ronaldo unable or unwilling to start; Zidane lost his inspiration and interest in performing stunts; Carlos wants to assist but can't run; Owen's thoughts still seem to belong to next season. Beckham and Figo simply joined the "fans" from the beginning.

But the fans are still intoxicated, which is a rare group in the world, cheering for the other team. As the game went on, many people found that there was only one person in Real Madrid. To be precise, only one of the seven superstars lit up the sky above the Workers' Stadium. Raul's absolute professional attitude, fierce fighting and tenacious running completely covered up Real Madrid's absentmindedness. He defended the white flag of Real Madrid while performing the duties of captain.

After the game, many journalists in Spain praised Raul, saying that he was the only white soldier who ignored the weather, environment and whether he would be injured or not. However, Raul actually cares. The Madrid man who timidly attacked Europe's top scorer at the age of 17 became more and more sensitive. He is very concerned about his decline in the past two years and the pain caused by staying away from the champion. This kind of pain that can't be relieved by physical therapy has given Raul a long time.

He has been avoiding, has been reluctant to speak, and has been lowering himself into people's vague memories. However, no one can capture the enthusiasm of Raul fans. At the Kunlun Hotel where Real Madrid stayed, reporters often met the begging of girls: "Please write more about Raul, I want to know more, and please give my blessing to Raul."

Football Weekly shouldered the expectations of many readers, and used all its "free" time to indoctrinate Raul with stories that happened in China, and finally completed this interview.

I care about love from China.

Football Weekly: You have been in China for several days. What impressed you the most?

Raul: There is no doubt that there are fans of Real Madrid everywhere, especially those who support me. I knew Raul's Chinese pronunciation as early as seven years ago. Therefore, I am luckier than many people, and I can understand them calling my name. "Raul" is the kindest and most familiar cry I have ever heard in China.

How do you feel whenever you hear such a voice?

This feeling is wonderful. If you can hear someone calling your name 10,000 kilometers away, it must be a friend or relative. At this time, in addition to full of happiness, I also have a kind feeling.

Can you feel the feelings and persistence of those fans?

Not only can I feel it, but I am also deeply intoxicated. To tell the truth, I have done little or nothing for them. It's great to meet them in Beijing and exchange greetings with some of their friends, which is also the biggest gain of my coming to China.

I just came downstairs, and a fan pulled me and said, it's been three days, and she hasn't had a chance to meet you face to face, and she's been begging someone to wear a Real Madrid uniform, you know?

What can I do for her? Can I have my signature? To be honest, I can't go downstairs every minute to take care of all my fans.

She already has your signature, but she wants to see you more. It is stipulated in the team that you can't go out alone. So I really want to ask, is this cruel to you and your fans?

I don't think it's that serious. Some China fans come from far away, and I came here from the United States, so we are very lucky to meet. For various reasons, I can't communicate face to face with every fan, but we are already in one place, and they can see me playing football and talking in public. I think this is a gift from God. In fact, what I want to hear more is what fans say, and I will listen directly. Because of the relationship between time and language, it is difficult for me to do this. Please tell those friends who can't get what they want that I have many small regrets like them, but time and football connect us.

We have given some of your Real Madrid badges to some fans, and they hope you can accept special thanks. This kind of thanks is to hope that you can lead Real Madrid to create more glory. Do you accept it?

This is the most precious gift. For me and many people, it is the most important thing for Real Madrid to win the championship again. To tell the truth, Raul is nothing without the fact that Real Madrid has won the Champions League three times and won the championship again and again. So, I accept this gift and take it back to Madrid.

What do you want to say to your fans before you leave?

Love your career and family. I am going to be the father of four children, so I hope young fans must learn to listen to their parents' voices.

I am very concerned about the mistakes of the past two years.

Real Madrid this time is very different from 2003. People welcome a luxury team, not a champion team. Do you feel uncomfortable as a captain?

I wonder what China fans will think of us. But for me personally, this is really different from what I felt in China two years ago. We can only make the fans proud of the championship, and many teammates and I feel guilty. With this feeling, looking at those staunch supporters is an invisible encouragement to me. I think we can know what they are thinking, and we also know what they are thinking after we lose the championship or a game.

I took a look at your visit to China. Do you have any objection to such an intensive activity arrangement?

It is false to say no objection, but I am the captain and must take the lead in carrying out the orders of the club. Here, the biggest motivation for me to accept these arrangements is the enthusiasm of fans. I'm not afraid of being tired. It's most important to meet the requirements of fans as much as possible.

You have had three presidents at Real Madrid: Mendoza, Sans and florentino. Now the old people in the sports department say that everything has changed. Do you feel this way?

I think every chairman wants the club to be good, and everyone has different ideas about running the club. As a player, I don't care much about the management mode of the team. Compared with the past, it is really different now. In the past, only two managers were responsible for our training and life, namely, the technical director and the spokesperson. There are more than five people who often tell us what to do now. At first, I was a little uncomfortable. After all, they sometimes collide with each other. In this case, I must do more things.

Don't you think this non-competitive factor has a great influence on the performance of the club?

I think it will definitely have an impact, but the chairman has talked to me about this more than once. He said that the development of the club should give consideration to both competition and economy, and the unfavorable economic situation will directly affect the competitive performance. So he asked me to take the lead to meet the promotion requirements put forward by the business department.

People say that Raul's portrait right does not belong to the club. Why did he take part in this promotion?

I have no choice. I can't ask for rewards everywhere. Besides, sales promotion is my job and it is stipulated in the contract. Most importantly, I am the captain.

Real Madrid's trip to China was criticized by some media for being too commercial. what do you think?

I think this is a very normal thing. After all, Real Madrid already has a very important business development plan. To complete this plan, it is natural to take some commercial measures. In fact, there is no trace of escaping from business in the competitive field, and the signing fee and liquidated damages are getting higher and higher, which is the basis for promoting the commercialization of football.

Once the business affects the competitive performance, what kind of "appeal" method will you take as the captain?

I have communicated with the chairman on this issue. He said that in the future, the world will be influenced by business to varying degrees, and football is no exception. When all clubs encounter the same problem, the cost of business affecting competition will become smaller and smaller. I believe the fans can understand the new challenges we are facing.

Salgado has begun to publicly accuse business of affecting players and preparations for the new season. Do you feel the same way?

Salgado is my good friend, but his words speak for themselves. Some things need time to prove.

I can still get back to my best.

You know, many fans who have always supported you have a tenacious belief that Raul will definitely return to the best state at the end of last century. What do you think of this?

I think the same as them. For a long time, I have been dissatisfied with myself, and I am always at a loss in the idea of doing my best for the club. I tried to adjust the training mode and intensity, and applied to the head coach to reduce the competition time in order to show a better level in an effective time, but everything seemed to show no signs of improvement. The new season is coming, and I will invite the best physical fitness coach and psychological counselor with the sole purpose of meeting new challenges. One thing is certain, Raul can't return to the state of 18, but that doesn't mean I can't play a role.

Whether in the national team or the club, there are many controversies about whether Raul must start. What do you think of this?

I have said this question many times on many occasions. Because I hope I can give full play in the national team and the club. Therefore, whether it starts or not becomes less and less important. On the contrary, I think it is the most important test for a professional player to resolutely implement the intention of the head coach. So I repeat, I don't care if I can play the leading role.

Figo is your best friend. How did you feel when you saw that he was a substitute and his future was uncertain?

I understand Louis and the head coach. Both of them are strong people. But after communicating with Louis several times, I found that his mind was very peaceful. He even advised me not to care too much about external reactions and internal arrangements. Football is a competitive sport for young people. After the prime time, you must face new pressures and meet new challenges. I remember Figo telling me that it was much more difficult to be the main force than not to be the main force, so we succeeded.

10 For many years, Raul has participated in most competitions almost every season. Do you feel tired?

I'm not tired. For me, I feel particularly tired without playing football. Maybe this rule can be applied to every professional player. Now, Lei Dongduo plays football in the suburbs every weekend, and he plays a major role. Every run is a whole race.

What are the hopes for the new season?

All my teammates and I have only one idea, to try our best to win the championship back. No one says that we lack hunger now. All the players in Real Madrid are hungry, and the championship is our only answer to the fans.

Thomas, an expert on Raul in Spain, said not long ago that you have reached a stagnation period. Can you break this prediction?

Thomas is my good friend. This is his use of provocation. I will definitely prove it to him. Because only I know, I have never been tired of football and never lost confidence in myself. I think there is only one reason why I can get back to my best: two years is too long.

There are signs that you don't quite agree with some actions of the chairman, such as going from Lei Dongduo to Figo. Is that so?

I only consider the interests of the club, and everything between individuals is a trivial matter. Florentino is an outstanding businessman, and I think he also wants to be a successful president in the history of Real Madrid. In order to achieve this, we must make some new attempts. Some practices may be against tradition, but I will support him, at least in the development of the club.

Can you talk about Beckham?

David has many advantages that are not easily perceived. As an athlete, he won everything. As a friend, Beckham is a very easy-going and responsible person, and we maintain a good professional and friend relationship.

What about Ronnie?

A person who has created a shooting realm that is difficult to surpass in the world, our cooperation is particularly tacit.

Heartache for Guti's current state and situation?

I know Goody too well. He will shine again at any time.

Will Raul leave Real Madrid?

There is only one possibility to leave: Real Madrid fans no longer need me. I will never leave this great club.
