Raul Gonzales, the captain of Real Madrid for the past decade has announced today that he is leaving the club after being there since he was 9 years old. This comes a day after his friend and teammate Guti also announced that he was leaving the club. It will be a sight to see Raul wearing another shirt this season. I think that it was the best choice, at least this way he will have a chance to keep playing, which if he stayed at Real, he was not going to get any playing time.
This kind of reminds me of Nuno Gomes at Benfica. Numo Gomes is an idol at the club, but he is not playing, and I believe that he still has a lot to offer. Imagine Nuno Gomes at Braga playing for the Champions League, or even for another club such as Guimaraes. I understand that Nuno wants to retire at the club, but it is such a waste of talent. He could always return later and do something else for the club, such as scouting, I am sure that Benfica will find something for Nuno Gomes to do.
Anyways, Raul, thanks for the memories, I will always remember what you did with Real.
