Raul Gonzales

Spanish striker, one of the most valuable players in Real Madrid history. he's been already a legend for fans!

Raul is a striker and is able to link attack and midfield effectively.
At 1.80m in height and just over 68 kg, Raul is very mobile and light on his feet, and likes to switch positions or go out wide. He can put his team-mates through into great positions, and create chances for himself even against the toughest markers.
Many Real Madrid and Spain coaches have struggled to find Raul's most effective position. Although originally an out-and-out striker, his most prolific years were in the late 1990s partnered by Fernando Morientes, a taller and more natural target man. Since Morientes' departure in the summer of 2003, Raul has variously been played as a second striker off Ronaldo or Ruud van Nistelrooy, or as a left-winger. His ability to play as an Attacking Midfielder makes him an efficient passer and although Raul is most known for his scoring ability, he also has 130 assists for Real Madrid. For the Spanish national side at the 2006 World Cup, Raul pushed Luis García out of the side to play 'in the hole' behind two strikers, Fernando Torres and David Villa, with wingers José Antonio Reyes and Joaquín Sánchez kept on the bench.
Raul has a distinctive celebration, with each goal acclaimed by a kiss of his wedding ring, an acknowledgement to his wife Mamen Sanz. They have four sons: Jorge (February 25, 2000), named after Jorge Valdano, Hugo (November 20, 2002), named after Raul's childhood hero Hugo Sánchez and twins Héctor and Mateo (November 17, 2005). He likes reading, especially the books of Arturo Pérez Reverte, and listening to all sorts of Spanish music. He also enjoys hunting and watching bullfighting.
Fernando Morientes is a very close friend of Raul's. The two formed a very deadly striker partnership for Real Madrid and the Spanish national squad between 1998 and 2002, until Morientes was replaced by Ronaldo in the Real Madrid starting eleven. Morientes and Raul are still best friends, and Raul was often spotted at Anfield Road in the 2005-06 English Premiership season while he was sidelined with an injury, watching Morientes play for Liverpool. Morientes and Raul have also gone on vacations together, with their families.
