What Raul Has To Say

Raul, 29, said he respected Aragones’ decision and would work hard to regain his place.

“It’s the coach’s decision and I have to keep working,” he was quoted as saying on the website of sports daily Marca. “The national team is more important than any individual interests. I will be supporting the team with all my heart from my home. I will always be the national team’s number one fan.”

Common Raul, prove your coach wrong. Prove it to him during the Atletico Madrid match. Score and show the whole world what you are made of. I still believe in you. And all your fans around the world too. They believe and have a lot of faith in you.
