Raul Speaks
By: Corey | September 25th, 2008I got this from goal.com (I am ashamed) but its a very important interview, because Raul addresses some of the issues surrounding him in the past few weeks. Very concise and poignant answers from El Capitan, which should lay to rest some of the Villa controversy as well as putting his recent performances in to perspective.
“I will have at least three more years in Madrid, which is what I have on my contract, and from then on I will go year by year and see how things go,” he began.
“But now, I am just taking things day by day, although it will become more customary to see me on the bench during games.
“I have spent 14 years in football, playing many games. I have always been there to help the team, sometimes coming off the bench, other times as a starter. There will be no problems,” he confessed.
“When I go five games without a goal, there’s always a debate. Everything else that I do on the pitch is never valued.
But this does not upset me. I will keep on fighting,” he added.
“Higuaín is enjoying very good form at present and he will be even better in the future,” he said of Pipita.
“Villa is one of the best strikers in Europe today. And it is not true that I prevented his move. I do not decide these things.
“I only have an opinion, which I must give as a player and the captain of this team,” he clarified.
“After our success in the Eurocopa, we have the possibility to triumph in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa,” Raúl beamed
I think thats all I need.

What’s wrong with Goal.com? I, for one, really like them - they translate the Spanish papers AS and Marca for us! Ok, they don’t have the highest journalistic standards, but where else would you find news on La Liga 24/7? Anyone care to recommend a better site?
And those are great words from Raul. Very classy!

I wrote a piece recently about the whole circus around Raúl for the past few years and some allegations that have been levelled at him and the people around him, which I think have no foundation. I’d welcome any comments you guys might have
