On the evening of July 10, the Spanish national team in the World Cup final at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, when the game reached the l16th minute, Cesc Fabregas scored the ball to the right side at the top of the penalty area, Iniesta successfully countered offside, stopped the ball with his right foot, and volleyed into the far corner about nine meters away from the goal, scoring a killer goal for Spain.

This goal not only made Iniesta famous, but also made the core of Tottenham Hotspur's midfield, the Spanish international Cesc Fabregas, rise in value like a rocket, but it also made a person sitting in front of the TV in a luxury villa in La Finca, a wealthy area in the west of Madrid, the Spanish capital 10,000 kilometers away, and couldn't help but burst into tears, with his whole head stuck into his legs, revealing only a full head of curly hair.

He has a name that is familiar to all fans around the world, Raul Gonzalez.

As the flag of Real Madrid, as the superstar of the Galaxy Battleship, Raul has been the main player of the Spanish national team since his debut, no matter how his teammates change or change, he is the hope of all Spanish fans.

But in the past, Spain has not been able to have too convincing results, but even so, Raul is still supported and loved by Spanish fans, who prefer to believe that this is not Raul's responsibility, but the responsibility of the Spanish national team as a whole.

When Raul was in Real Madrid, in order to make room for the superstars who joined him, he kept retreating, away from the penalty area he loved, and his task in every game also changed from the original goal to help the superstars score goals, and even help the team defend, but all this, he silently endured.

But behind this, it is with the blowout of Spanish youth training, the strength of this national team is constantly improving, Raul's performance in Real Madrid, and his age, finally made Aragonés choose to give him up in 08, but ironically, the Spanish national team without Raul won the European championship

That night, Raul asked himself countless times, was it really his own problem? Is he really a cancer for the Spanish national team? Was it really because of his expulsion from the national team that Spain won the European championship?

No one will believe this nonsense, and even after Spain won the European Championship, even if it already has top scorers such as Torres and Villa, there are still countless fans, countless media reporters, and countless professionals who are calling for Raul to be recalled.

"We owe Raul a championship and he should come back to the national team and enjoy what he is doing now, because without his hard work and dedication, the achievements of the Spanish national team would not be possible today"

History is moving forward, and all the rhetoric that tears history apart and forgets history is nonsense

If there was no Raul back then, one person supported the banner of the Spanish national team, whether there are still today's achievements in Spain, it is difficult to say, maybe today's Raul has become a burden to the national team, but it should never be considered that he is a cancer of Spain because of this, because Raul is not a problem for the head coach whether he is in the national team or in Real Madrid.

Therefore, after Aragonés won the European Cup, the former teammate and captain of Real Madrid, Hierro took over the management of the Spanish national team, and the former coach of Real Madrid Bosque took over the management of the national team.

In this case, one thing is clear to all the Spanish fans, and indeed to fans all over the world, that Raul is coming back

Bosque and Hierro's home, not far from Raul's home, they see each other often, and after they both took over the reins of the national team, Bosque gave Raul a promise that as long as he performs a little, as long as he can play and stay fit, he will definitely be in the squad for the trip to South Africa, which is what he deserves.

Raul knows Bosco very well, he is a typical Real Madrid person, who values feelings and traditions, so he understands Raul's situation and Raul's difficulties, so in the most difficult time for Raul, whether it is in Real Madrid or in the Spanish national team, there must be Bosque in the crowd who stand up to defend Raul.

Hierro also told Raul that the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Villa, is also very supportive of Raul's return to the national team, and Hierro is Raul's big brother in Real Madrid, the old captain, and the object and example that Raul has been learning from all his life. It is believed that Raul alone bears the fault of everyone at Real Madrid.

Raul found Florentino, found Pellegrini, and everyone sat down to talk, so there was news that Raul was leaving Real Madrid, and this was indeed an option at the time.

Frankly speaking, after the lesson of Hierro, although Florentino did not like Raul, because he always felt that Raul represented the Real Madrid of the past, not the current Real Madrid in his mind, but this time he did not embarrass Raul, and he even promised that as long as Raul wanted, he could stay at the Bernabeu at any time.

Manuel Pellegrini has also given his promise that he will give Raul a chance at a fair play.

As a result, Raul stayed, because he had spent his entire career at Real Madrid, and he hoped that he would be able to retire here, but as it turned out, he was wrong.

With the addition of one superstar after another, Raul has no place at all, and it is difficult for him to even get the opportunity to play, which makes Bosque have no reason to recruit at all, can he give up those main players who have played in the national team and performed well, and choose a Raul who can't even play in Real Madrid?

To some extent, it was Real Madrid, the love of his life, that completely ruined his last chance to play for the national team and completely lost the opportunity to touch the Hercules Cup

When Hierro left the team, the young Raul took over the captain's armband of Real Madrid under various controversies, and when he was challenged by a superstar, he did not cry; When he saw with his own eyes that Real Madrid was without a championship every year and stopped in the round of 16 of the Champions League every year, he did not cry; He didn't cry when he was cursed by his favorite Real Madrid fans, calling him a bully, calling him a cancer, and even telling him to get out of the Santiago Bernabeu

But now, when he watched Andres Iniesta score the winner for Spain in the final moments of the game, and when he watched the players of the Spanish national team reach the podium of the World Cup, he cried, cried loudly, like a child.

He will no longer have a chance to win the World Cup, and his life is destined to end in regret, this is fate

His wife, Mammon Sanz, fell asleep taking care of the children, and when she heard her husband's crying, she rushed out of the room and saw Raul huddled alone, sitting on the sofa, crying, while the TV was playing the scene of Spain winning the World Cup without emotion, and her tears couldn't help but fall down with the big ones.

She knew better than anyone what her husband had been through in the past few years, and he didn't deserve it.

If Raul had chosen to leave after Hierro and Bosque left the team, I believe his career would have been much better than now, and Raul had no shortage of homes at that time, and there were a lot of big teams that wanted Raul.

He gave everything for Real Madrid, including his youth, including his career, but what did he get?

Mammon Sanz walked over and sat down beside Raul, hugging her husband as if she were a mother comforting her wounded child, believing that Raul needed her now.

No one knows how long Raul cried, he didn't calculate, anyway, the live broadcast of the World Cup final ended early, and it is not clear what time it is in the middle of the night, and Raul is in the arms of his wife, sleeping deeply.

The next morning, it was another rare good weather outside.

Although they are located in the affluent neighborhood of Lafinca, they don't feel the atmosphere that the Spanish fans are crazy and clear, but they can imagine that all the Spanish fans will be like a holiday today, because Spain finally won a Hercules Cup.

Mammon Sans got up early to make breakfast for the children and her husband, and Raul, whom she had expected to sleep for a long time, also got up not long after she got up, her eyes bloodshot and her eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously left after crying last night.

When Raul got up in the morning, he didn't say anything, but he went out of the living room and sat in the garden for two or three hours, and when he got home, he went to the living room and got his phone

"Gines" Mammon O Sanz listened silently from the sidelines, while Gines O Caravajal, which was Raul's agent.

"Could you please give me a call to the Bernabeu and tell them that I want to be able to terminate my current contract early"

"What did you say?" Genes O Caravajal on the other side of the phone was visibly full of shock, it was too sudden.

"Yes, you heard it right, Gines, I'm leaving the Bernabeu" Raul was very sure, always giving people a very weak face, but at this moment it was full of seriousness, a kind of resoluteness.

Perhaps, this decision came a little late for him, but he knew he had to do something.

He is Raul Gonzalez, the Spanish golden boy, the captain of Real Madrid, he must use his own strength, use his performance, to tell everyone, to prove one thing, he is a professional player, only a professional player, he has never been Real Madrid or the Spanish national team, let alone a cancer

This is the only thing he can do now, and he must do

The World Cup has not yet ended, Tottenham Hotspur's training camp has already begun, and with the end of the World Cup, the transfer market has also begun to surge, and Tottenham Hotspur will receive some transfer faxes almost every day.

Ye Qiu is still the same as in the past, and handed over everything to Peternien to be responsible, and he specially arranged and supervised the team's pre-season training at the Theobald training base丨 And considering the large number of international players in Tottenham Hotspur participating in the World Cup in South Africa, Tottenham Hotspur will no longer go abroad for training this summer

But on this day, he left the training camp and drove back to downtown London on his own, and came to the Bulgari Hotel in the south of Hyde Park, which is one of the most luxurious hotels in London, and what appeared here today are all big people who can cause earthquakes when they stomp their feet in the Premier League.

Before the start of each season of the Premier League, there will be a summit meeting, which is basically arranged for the chairman or CEO of each club to attend, and the Premier League is responsible for organizing it, in order to coordinate the cooperation between the clubs, and also arrange everything for the new season.

The FA often invites clubs to meetings, but it is basically the agents or managers of each club who attend, but this time the people who showed up at the Bulgari Hotel were obviously different, because he was not only a summit meeting, but also the president of the club.

Ye Qiu's BMW stopped at the gate of the Bulgari Hotel, and immediately a service staff stepped forward to take his car keys, intending to drive to the parking lot, while Ye Qiu walked directly into the lobby of the hotel, and then, accompanied by the staff, entered the elevator and went directly to the private venue on the eighth floor.

Pushing open the door, Ye Qiu's eyes swept away, and there were many people sitting in the venue that was not spacious, and many of them he knew, such as the initiator of this party, Mr. Pete Hilwood, the chairman of the Arsenal club, and the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich, and the chairman of the club, Bruce Buck, old acquaintances.

There are also Manchester United's David Gil, as well as representatives of the Glazer family, as well as representatives of the Abu Dhabi consortium at Manchester City, such as Mubarak, the agent of Manchester City's Abu Dhabi consortium, and the club's chief executive, Tim Cook, Premier League upstart West Ham United's owner, Rebonorev and so on.

Each of these figures is a real power in the Premier League, and being able to invite so many people to the Bulgari Hotel at the same time shows the influence of the two Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United, the initiators this time, and as the newly rising giants, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are still a little lacking in this aspect.

Tottenham Hotspur under the leadership of Ye Qiu is rarely involved in these aspects, and is more focused on their own development, but it would be a mistake to ignore Tottenham Hotspur's influence just because of this.

If there is a good description of the current influence of Tottenham Hotspur, it is that Tottenham Hotspur may not have the right to decide on the agreements reached between all Premier League clubs, and what they say may not count, but if Tottenham Hotspur does not speak, then any decision must not count.

Ye Qiu was able to attend such a meeting, mainly because Tottenham Hotspur has always had a good relationship with Arsenal and Manchester United, so Ye Qiu attended this meeting at the same time as Peternien this time

"Thank you very much for taking the time to participate, Mr. Ye Qiu" Pete O Hillwood and David O Gill walked up side by side and greeted Ye Qiu at the gate, don't look at Manchester United and Arsenal are mortal enemies, but in fact, the relationship between the top management of these two clubs is still very good, after all, they have quite a lot of common interests.

"You invite, I will definitely come" Ye Qiu smiled and shook hands with Hillwood and David O Gill respectively.

Pete Hillwood suddenly felt embarrassed, and there happened to be a few people who saw Ye Qiu entering the arena and came closer, plus the venue and organization were all organized by him, so he naturally assumed the role of host.

"Come, Mr. Ye Qiu, I'll introduce you" Pete Hilwood pointed to a young man nearby, obviously not like an Englishman, although he had a thick beard, a bit like a German, but Ye Qiu heard him speak with an accent just now, not like a European, it should be a foreign boss.

And the answer is already very clear, either it is the spokesperson of Liverpool owner Ambani, or the spokesperson of the Qatari royal family, the owner of Newcastle behind the scenes, because only these two groups Ye Qiu do not know.

But the answer made Ye Qiu a little surprised, because the one in front of him turned out to be the crown prince of Qatar, Tamim River Le Thani.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ye Qiu, I'm your fan and your challenger" Tamim River Le Sani seemed to know how to socialize, and the first thing he said after meeting was a joke.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Ye Qiu was neither humble nor arrogant, maintaining a polite manner.

"Even though I studied in the UK, I still speak a little English," Tamim said with a laugh, laughing at himself.

"No, I think it's OK," Ye Qiu replied with a smile.

He has previously seen media reports that the Qatari crown prince graduated from the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst, less than 50 kilometers west of London, which claims to be on a par with the United States Military Academy at West Point, the Russian Frunze Military Academy, and the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy, ranking among the four major military schools in the world.

And Ye Qiu was also thinking that maybe it was because of his previous relationship with his study in the UK, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qatar was so interested in Premier League football, and after not being able to buy Manchester United, he finally bought Newcastle after moving to teams including Liverpool and Arsenal.

Of course, Ye Qiu will definitely not be stupid enough to think that this is purely an interest, no one will have such an expensive interest, no matter how rich he is, so Ye Qiu has no doubt that Tamim River Le Thani acquired Newcastle and landed in the Premier League, and he also has his goals and interests, such as advertising for Qatar to win the right to host the World Cup, etc.

"Mr. Ye Qiu, to be honest, I admire you very, very much," Tamim Le Thani said in a joking tone, "not only have you successfully run a great company like Leaf Technology, you have also built Tottenham Hotspur into a giant team, and I have always made you my goal since I bought Newcastle." ”

Ye Qiu listened with a modest smile, he didn't know what reaction to give, and he didn't know if what this guy said was true or false.

Sure enough, he changed his words, "So, I really hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ye Qiu and you, for example, in the transfer of players, I hope that you and your team can consider our sincerity."
