RealMadridConfidencial Del Bosque weighs in on Real Madrid's next coach and gets confused: 'I don't want to talk about it.'
Del Bosque has spoken about Real Madrid's bench and got involved in a controversy
Vicente del Bosque, a legend of Madridism, has spoken about Real Madrid's next coach. He did so with words that left more than one person speechless. When asked, he mentioned Xabi Alonso as a key player and part of a generation that is producing great coaches, but when it came to talking about Raúl González, he got tangled up.
"I prefer to keep quiet about this matter... I don't want to upset anyone. It made me smile, but I don't want to go into details," was his response when he remembered the eternal Madridist number 7. In contrast, he praised Xabi Alonso: For us, he was a key player; he and Busquets played an essential role. He always had a great understanding of team play... that generation is producing great coaches."
At Real Madrid, some people also miss the club valuing Raúl's figure more. He has been working with the reserve team for many years and has never had the opportunity to move up to the first team. He hasn't been on the list of favorites, and that is something that has hurt the Madridist legend a lot.
A new stage
This is what Raúl will soon have at another club, because several clubs have shown interest in him. It is true that he hasn't achieved Castilla's goal, which was to move up to the Second Division... But there are those who value the influence he has had on the development of some players. Among them is Raúl Asencio, who has acknowledged it himself.
His priority has always been Real Madrid, and that's why he has turned down better offers from teams competing in higher leagues. His dream is to coach Real Madrid's first team, and he will have to wait. At least until Florentino Pérez leaves.
He has no hopes
Now almost all media agree that Raúl is going to leave Real Madrid in search of opportunities. It is practically impossible for him to take over the first team until Florentino finishes his term. The best thing he can do is keep growing in his career and take on a second or first division team.
