He has written his first golden pages as a coach after writing entire platinum books as a player. Raúl González Blanco won the first Youth League for Real Madrid yesterday with the white youth team, the only trophy that the entity was missing.
Having the objectives of your life very clear is a fundamental fact to live success. A fact that marks the trajectory of Raúl is that he always knew what he wanted to do. Since he was a child he wanted to be a footballer and he managed to reach heights that when he was little seemed a dream. He enjoyed the biggest international victories with Real Madrid. He hung up his boots five years ago and since then he has set himself a goal: to be a coach at the same level he showed as a footballer. He knew that to achieve this he had to start from the bottom, know all the testaments of this sport alongside the kids, along with the modest ones, to get tanned and one day lead the first team of the company.
The myth that surpassed Di Stéfano as the club’s historic gunner, until Cristiano He broke all the molds, began his career on the benches under the command of Cadet B of Real Madrid. On March 1 of last year he was promoted to direct the youth B, replacing Álvaro Benito. He was proclaimed champion of group XII of the National Division, a title that he elegantly gave to his predecessor. A few weeks later, in the month of July, he was appointed coach of Castilla, the first subsidiary of the house. It was a very difficult mission in Second B, in a team full of young people that is totally renewed every season and that faces hardened rivals with many veterans in their ranks.
With this strange and discontinuous campaign over, defined by confinement, Raúl received this summer the mission to lead the youth team in the Youth League, the Junior Champions of the European football. He took the baton from Dani Poyatos, who left the Madrid youth academy linked to it after a quarter of a century to work for Greek Panathinaikos. The work of the great ex-footballer at the helm of Real Madrid youth has confirmed his evolution as a coach. His team has had a great competition in Switzerland, the best in the seven editions played by the club in this competition.
For first once in history, Real Madrid reached the final of the tournament, after those seven seasons in which he has played 61 games, has won 41 and scored 163 goals, record numbers. And for the first time he won the tournament. With the boys, Raúl complied with the rule that the company applies at the highest level: the finals are not to be played, but to be won. The Madrilenian has written a new legend in the entity, now as a coach. He eliminated Juventus 3-1 after having to overcome an adverse goal and stay with ten men due to the expulsion of Jordi Martín. He then beat Inter with a win, 3-0. They beat Salzburg in the semifinals, 2-1. And they defeated Benfica in the final, 3-2.
Raúl has managed to make Real Madrid a block, above individuals such as Miguel Gutiérrez, Antonio Blanco and Luis López. His path is laid out. It is forged over low heat to one day lead the first team Real Madrid. No hurry. It will be in the medium term future. It is your final destination.
