A new coach.
Raul returns to the national team? Raul has never been selected for the national team since he played for the national team in Northern Ireland on September 6th, 2006. Madrid fans have repeatedly called on aragones to call Raul, but he has never been able to do so. Raul won the opportunity again with his performance. Last Saturday, Raul scored twice in the league match against Santander and topped the scorer list for the first time this season. Last Sunday, aragones said in an interview that if Raul is in excellent condition, he will play next year. Just after the results of the European Cup group draw were announced, aragones accepted an exclusive interview with Marca, which was the first interview after aragones publicized the "Law of Silence". The focus is nothing more than the European Cup group and whether Raul can return to the national team, although aragones's answer is more like diplomatic rhetoric. "The door of the national team is never closed to any player. If Raul is in good shape, he will represent Spain in the European Cup, as will other players. " But aragones's answer at least gave Raul's fans hope. If excellent form is the key to participating in the European Cup, then no one is more qualified to be selected for the national team than Raul. 14 league scored 8 goals, only twice in his 13 career. The last time was in 1998/ 1999 season.
Teammates are also building momentum for Raul. Casillas said that "the national team should not be short of Raul", while Heinze said that "if Raul was born in Argentina, he would undoubtedly become the number one in the world". On Monday, Raul, Morientes, Zapatel and Silva showed off their new boots together in a business activity, and inevitably they had to face questions about the national team. "I'm working hard every day, hoping it will help me return to the national team. I don't want to miss the European Cup, which is the dream of every player. " Raul said in an interview, "but now I am more concerned about my performance at the club." Our goal in the new season is only to win the championship, and we are working hard for this goal every day. " At Real Madrid, Raul has ushered in the second spring of his career. He and Ruud van Nistelrooy are now the most terrible striker combination in Europe. Will aragones continue to exclude Raul? At least the door of the national team has been opened. As long as Raul can continue this state, I believe the new coach has no reason to keep Raul waiting.
