2. Legend of Er
--------------------. In a small town called Castillon de Londra Mota in Valladolid, a famous city in northern Spain, a young couple, whose husband is a railway worker and whose wife is a cook, made an important decision. While the male owner was still working on the railway, the train ticket was exempted, and their 15-year-old son Pedro Gonzales was asked to leave the remote town and go to Madrid to find a life and future. After Pedro arrived in Madrid, he studied as an electrician in a company called Francisco Bennett and obtained an electrician's certificate. However, he has never been so obsessed with business football. In his hometown, most people are fans of Atletico Bilbao. Because Pedro often quarreled with a cousin who is a hardcore fan of Real Madrid, he unconsciously joined the Atletico camp opposed to Real Madrid and became an Atletico Madrid fan. His fascination with Atletico even influenced Maria Luisa Blanco, who later became his wife. The two often linked dating with watching Atletico Madrid. At the end of 195s, Pedro's company undertook the business of installing lighting at Real Madrid's home. Pedro reluctantly worked for his team's opponents every day, but he never imagined that more than 3 years later, it was the giant searchlight he personally installed that lit up a Spanish world-class star, a football player who had almost all the trophies at the age of 23, and this was his youngest son, Raul Gonzá lez Blanco.
In the 197s, great changes have taken place in the whole country of Spain. With Franco's death, autocracy is gone forever, and the country has embarked on the road of rejuvenation. However, all this doesn't make any sense to Pedro. He still relies on the electrician's notebook to make a living. Life is difficult, and soaring prices make him seldom go to the ball again, but his loyalty to Atletico Madrid and his love for football have not changed at all. He had high hopes for his eldest son, Pedro Jr., but he found that he was better at scoring than playing football, so he had to give up.
On June 27th, 1977, Pedro, who had two children, got another son in Biaveladi, a working area in the south of Madrid. After his brother Pedro Gonzalez Blanco and his sister Mariza Gonzalez Blanco, he was named Raul Gonzalez Blanco.
It can't be said that Pedro was particularly partial to his children. Jose, a priest who baptized Raul, recalled that "Raul loved to cry and made people upset, but his father always smiled and waited for him to cry, because it might be a vent, an unyielding vent." Pedro has endless respect for the priest who has prayed for Raul and his family, and he is noncommittal about his words, just adding: "Children crying is good for their health."
The trace of Raul's childhood behavior may be that he loves to cry, and there is nothing special. Perhaps this is the initial sign of his grumpy, stubborn and unyielding attitude, but there is no flash of football.
Like all children, Raul is old enough to go to school, so it is impossible for him to enter a private school. He entered a public school called Nava de Tolosa, and Raul, who came from a family with many children, began to have friends and partners other than his brother and sister. After listening to his father's talk every day and every month, Raul certainly knew earlier than other children that football is not only a sport, but also respectable. Raul wanted people to pay attention to him, so he began to join the ranks of his classmates who played football. On weekends, they could play football for one day.
This can only be understood as a gift. When Raul was 1 years old, he was already famous in Biavela, where he lived. Later, he joined the youth team of the club Deportivo San Cristobal de Los Angeles, and soon became the captain with his excellent skills and the trust of the coach. At the age of 13, Raul scored 65 of the 38 total goals in Spain's extremely popular national statistics of juvenile football matches. His father, Pedro, turned his eyes from Atletico Madrid star to his son at this moment, looking at Raul, who was thin and delicate. Some rough Pedro still didn't believe it, but he decided to pave the way for his son anyway. Raul will never forget that his father has been marking a price for him since then, with a bonus of 5 Singapore dollars (RMB 25 yuan) for every goal scored, and one day his father can only pay for it because Raul scored 17 goals. In order to let Raul absorb a lot of football oxygen, the father and son rushed to watch four games (not free) every Sunday. In order to make Raul have full confidence, Pedro often invited guests from his son's teammates. In order to make his son not be late for training, Pedro's classic car stopped at the school gate on time every day to pick Raul up. All this was too difficult for Pedro, who didn't have a regular job, but he just said faintly today: "It's all over."
Finally, one Saturday as usual, Raul and his teammates were fighting with their opponents. A gentleman sitting on the rostrum did not attract anyone's attention, but his deep eyes behind his glasses never left Raul. He was by no means an ordinary "talent scout", but Paco Paula, a celebrity in football, technical supervisor of Atletico Madrid Club and coach of Atletico Madrid Youth Team.
Raul was brought to Atletico Madrid by Pablo, and for his father, his dream for many years has come true. As early as when Raul was 4 years old, his father only hoped that his son would become a loyal fan of Atletico Madrid like him, and he also specially begged golfers to take Raul into the Atletico Stadium to take a photo with Atletico Madrid star Marcos (a teammate and close friend of Diego Maradona). < P > Now Raul has become a part of Atletico Madrid, how can Pedro be unhappy? In fact, Raul's former small club is also under the banner of Atletico Madrid, so Raul has been playing for Atletico Madrid for a long time, but now he is a member of Atletico Madrid's direct team.
Paco always had high hopes for Raul. When Raul was 14 years old, he foresaw: "Raul will become a great star, because he was made for football from any angle, and he is far more obsessed with football than his peers."
during Raul's playing in Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid's youth team, with Guti and Alvaro as the main players, was invincible, while Seville in the south was also a very strong team. However, Raul led his teammates to fight hard, and the results were quite good. At this time, Chairman Hill began to notice this competitive captain.
in the middle of the 9-91 league tournament, an important event happened at Atletico Madrid. Cano, the technical director and signing director of the club, who was Raul's decision-maker in Atletico Madrid's future, was ready to take the blame and resign because of economic problems.
People will never forget that after that game, Raul went straight to the gaunt Kano and shouted his name desperately, "Where are you going? Where are you going? " Since then, Raul has lost his strongest support. To this day, as long as Mr. Cano recalls this scene, he will burst into tears. He said with deep feelings: "We football players have always regarded our players as sons, and they also regard us as fathers."
too many realities have made Raul mature. He asked his father countless times, "How poor Mr. Cano is. People used to respect him, but now, how can we help him?" Pedro looked at the sensible child and said for the first time like an adult, "Raul, you must get ahead and be a first-class star to help him." "and our home!" Raul added. Pedro's heart sank. He could hardly have a fixed job for Raul, and his family expenses had reached the limit. But he resolutely persisted in the face of thousands of Spanish football teenagers who gave up halfway, only because he firmly believed that his son would succeed in the end.
Raul and his teammates didn't live up to people's hopes. In the junior championship in 1991, they broke the advantage of Real Madrid in one fell swoop and won his first Champions League in Denerife. Raul showed off in the center of the island wearing an Atletico Madrid jersey and almost missed his plane back to Madrid. At the same time, Atletico Club won the King's Cup led by Portuguese superstar Futre on the same day. Raul is so happy.
Raul, like his father and brother, was once the most loyal fan of Atletico Madrid, but he left and went to Real Madrid, which was at odds with Atletico Madrid at that time, so everyone had different opinions about this history.
Youlong. com visited Santi, the head of Atletico Madrid's football foundation department, and the key person who directly promoted Raul to join Real Madrid at that time. Today, it is still running for Real Madrid's Paco de Gracia in Argentina and Brazil, which clarified several readers' questions:
1) Atletico Madrid attached great importance to Raul and cared for him. At that time, there was a teenager named Gifaro (now a judge) in Raul.
2) Chairman Hill has nothing to do with Raul's departure. Because in his mind, there was only the red and purple Vtrey around him at that time, how could he have time to pay attention to Raul? If it was not for him, it might be that he didn't implement the plan to establish the youth team base as promised.
3) Raul's father knew all about Raul's switch to Real Madrid, and recorded the fact that his father and son went to Real Madrid Club together in Raul's diary published on July 7, 1992.
4) Atletico Madrid is also fully aware of Real Madrid's actions, because everything is open.
so, why on earth did Raul change his family? Let's start with the ringing of Raul's home phone on time every Monday afternoon from March to June, 1992. Raul knew that the caller was Paco Garcia of Real Madrid Football Department if he didn't answer it.
Today, Mr. Paco Garcia, who continues to be in charge of signing in the football department of Real Madrid Club, told us a scene eight years ago. In 1992, Paco learned about Raul in Atletico Madrid through Busque and Freiming (Raul's former agent), and heard a high evaluation of Raul from the talent scouts and agents gathered in the club every day. Paco, who has a keen sense of smell, decided to meet Raul and his son, but because they were in Atletico Madrid camp, Paco also knew the difficulty.
Mr. Paco recalled with pride: "It was a spring. In the spring of 1992, under the arrangement of my friends, I met Raul in a small bar in Toledo Street. He was shy and polite, and he smelled like a footballer all over his body. We talked about a game between Atletico Madrid and Zaragoza. Every time he talked about Atletico Madrid, he was so happy that he completely forgot that I was from Real Madrid. It's been a long time, but I clearly remember that when I asked him if he had the idea of joining Real Madrid, he shook his head. I decided to watch his ball and see if it was worth working hard for this teenager. "
Of course, Mr. Paco went to watch Raul play football, and informed Ramon, the technical director of Real Madrid, that Ramon never questioned Paco's eyesight, and ordered him to try his best to send the teenager to Real Madrid, so Paco's telephone offensive began.
15-year-old Raul has gradually matured. His sincerity and admiration for Atletico Madrid more accurately come from his childhood dreams, but finally this day has come. Raul has decided to take football as his career. He needs to improve. He needs by going up one flight of stairs, and he needs a place that people pay more attention to. In Madrid, what other options are there besides Real Madrid Club? He dialed Paco's phone and agreed to go to Real Madrid.
Raul first told his father about this decision. Pedro was really sad, and his sister's boyfriend (a member of Atletico Madrid) was even more opposed. But who knows his son better than his father? He didn't support but agreed with Raul's idea. As for the dispute between Pedro and Raul, it happened two years later when Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid really competed for Raul.
Mr. Cano of Atletico Madrid immediately responded when he learned of Real Madrid's intention, and offered Raul a monthly salary of 8, Spanish dollars (equivalent to 48 yuan at that time), but to no avail, Raul signed the first economic contract with Real Madrid Club with a monthly salary of 15, Spanish dollars.
