What do you do after retirement?

The 33-year-old Redondo has certainly considered this issue.

He considered becoming a coach and continuing his football career in this way, he also considered taking over the family business, or focusing his life on his family, on his children.

But no matter what it is, in his future life plan, there is no such option as "President of Real Madrid"!

Is this what normal people think?

He questioned the little devil who teased him with his eyes.

Yet the temptations of the devil continued.

Raphael first looked around the legendary stadium, and then looked at Redondo, "This is the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium."

This instead made Redondo raise his eyebrows.

Yes, he was deliberately using this someone's signature move to taunt someone.

He wants to say—

[Little lunatic, of course I know this is the Bernabéu! ]

Raphael didn't care about his sarcasm. To be honest, this senior didn't have any talent for using his face to draw hatred.

He just said in the most flat tone: "Santiago Bernabeu, he is a Real Madrid youth trainer, he is the captain of Real Madrid, and after that, he became the chairman of Real Madrid."

After saying this, he smiled with satisfaction.

Because this middle-aged man who had been looking at him with the eyes of a "little lunatic" after he made a bold assumption was finally moved.

The arc of Rafael's mouth is still deepening: "Found the Champions League, signed Di Stefano, let Real Madrid stand on the top of Europe, and after that, he named his beloved club after himself."

Redondo pursed his lips.

This is the life of Santiago Bernabeu, and every Real Madridist knows it by heart.

And he knew everything about this legendary chairman long before he joined the team.

Before that, Redondo had only respect for the Bernabéu chairman.

However, today, the little lunatic in front of him made him start to evaluate the chairman from a new perspective——

Real Madrid youth training, Real Madrid captain, Real Madrid president...

Real Madrid's home stadium is named after him!

This should be the object that every Real Madridist wants to emulate, and what he has achieved should also be the goal they want to achieve!

However, reason is also desperately tearing at Redondo, it is constantly reminding him——

Wake up!

Wake up!

You're just an Argentine, the president of Real Madrid, you can't be Argentine!

But at this moment, the little lunatic in front of him has been promoted to Smiling Satan, and said slowly: "You know? The legendary Bernabéu chairman got a law degree when he was in his 20s."

Has anyone seen Redondo like this?

Raphael thought with a smile.

He knew he had succeeded because he knew that Redondo's heart throbbed for it.

Yes, the seemingly inadvertent sentence "he even got a law degree" made Redondo realize again that he and the legendary chairman have so many similarities.

There are many difficulties in running for president of Real Madrid, but he is not hopeless, is he?

This made him take the initiative to meet Raphael's gaze.

Raphael appreciated the choice he made at this moment, and decided to omit the nonsense that each other knew well, and turned to the most critical point——

"Louis told me that Fernando Jr. and Rodrygo are both members of Real Madrid, and they showed him their membership card. Then I think, as the 'Prince of the Bernabéu', you should have already registered as a member of Real Madrid?"

Redondo nodded slightly, and said frankly: "When I chose Real Madrid."

Such arrogant words also made the corner of Raphael's mouth curl into a mocking arc——

Look, he chose Real Madrid, not Real Madrid chose him.

This is Redondo.

Redondo after throwing away those rhetoric that fools the world and conforms to social rules.

Redondo's gaze stayed on the corner of his raised mouth for a second longer, and he reminded the younger generation: "Remember, we are Argentines."

The arc of Rafael's mouth deepened instead, and he asked, "If it wasn't for the existence of the Bernabeu, do you think Di Stefano would become the coach of Real Madrid, or the chairman?"

Di Stefano is also an Argentinian.

An Argentine who also holds Spanish nationality.

Redondo did not continue this topic, his eyes have already covered the stadium——

With a new perspective never before seen.

This is the stadium he is most familiar with, but it has become so strange during the year he left.

He hated the feeling, absolutely disgusted.

He belongs here and should come back here.

After stepping on the field, they saw countless Real Madrid fans waiting for Redondo outside the Bernabeu.

It was the Real Madrid fans who had never had time to accept his departure. After saying goodbye to him, they could only helplessly watch him join another team.

Such scenes are always moving.

Toshack graciously told Redondo that he could sign autographs for those fans, and he could also stay a little longer before returning to the hotel by himself.

And the hotel they stayed in was not far from the Bernabéu.

Redondo stayed and the bus drove away.

确信自己不会挨揍的胡安也悄悄地凑近了拉斐尔，再次感慨：“他们真的很爱费尔南多。”

After Simeone in the back seat heard this sentence, he gave the back of Juan's head a blank stare.

It's a fact, everyone has seen it, there is no need to repeat it.

Already, Atletico Madrid fans still like him very much.

But at this moment, Raphael's voice also came from his ears, it was so mocking.

"Yes, they do love him. But it was also the chairman they elected themselves, who personally cleaned their beloved players."

This made Simeone laugh, and then he stared at the back of Raphael's ponytailed head and thought——

Boy, are you complaining about someone?

But he didn't need to ask this sentence, he knew the answer.

This also reminded him of 8 years ago.

The 16-year-old Rafael was selected for the national team for the first time, and Redondo called him endlessly like a mother chicken.

Talking so much is actually telling him over and over again how good Rafael is and that he will be the future of Argentina, but this kid has the same personality as Maradona.

Simeone scoffed at this at the time——

This kid's debut in Deportivo was to kick your Real Madrid, but the next step is to kick our Atletico Madrid, you know, don't I know?

I am still the captain of the national team, so of course I will cover him.

But now Simeone feels that Redondo did nothing wrong.

Look, the kid you covered back then can already complain about you.

Simeone saw the truth in the ruthless years and was full of emotion.

Naturally, Raphael didn't know his tough tenderness. After answering Juan, he was busy coaxing his wife.

He played for Real Madrid and contributed to Varen's championship career, so he should be rewarded with some encouragement, right?

Aimar had just finished training and took a shower at this time. After changing clothes, wiping his hair and taking out his mobile phone, he was bombarded by a bunch of coquettish text messages.

He's used to someone acting like a baby, but what's the matter with this sentence?

[I told Redondo that he could run for president of Real Madrid, and I could give him a guarantee...]

Redondo, Real Madrid president?

Aimar thought the idea was whimsical at first. Real Madrid is a club deeply bound to the Spanish royal family and politics.

If you apply Barcelona's famous saying, then it is——

Real Madrid, not just a club!

And Redondo is an Argentine!

But Aimar soon realized that someone's vision was not impossible.

Because Real Madrid is still a membership club, its chairman is still elected by the fans!

After realizing this, Aimar's mind was a little messed up, and he couldn't help but reply——

[Mr. Villain, do you want to manipulate the entire football world behind the scenes? ]

When seeing this text message, Raphael immediately laughed.

Him, manipulating football?

That's a nice proposition, um, pretty cool, hahaha!

Juan breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Raphael's expression at the moment.

Well, now he is sure, Rafa is in such a good mood, he will definitely not be beaten.

At 4 pm on April 24th, Inter Milan arrived at the Bernabéu Stadium on time.

At this time, this legendary stadium is no longer empty like it was when they stepped on the field yesterday. When they left the field, they felt the vitality brought by the fans.

It was also at this moment that everyone realized who is the absolute protagonist today!

Not Rafael and Ronaldo, nor Raul, whom the Meilingers put on top of their hearts, but Redondo who got off the bus with them!

Even if there is still an hour before the game, these hard-to-please Real Madrid fans are already calling the prince's name affectionately.

Over and over, over and over again...

In such a call, Raphael has already stepped off the bus with his head held high in the posture of a peerless villain, ignoring the call of the media, and walking towards the direction of the special passage familiarly.

This is the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, and it is also his battlefield with Ronaldo and Zidane!

The battle drum in Raphael's heart was beating, and his adrenal hormones were also soaring. Just when countless photographers were lamenting that he was so cool, an arm held him back.

Raphael glanced back and frowned.

This disgusted look made Simeone unhappy: "What kind of look do you have?"

However, what responded to him was only a pair of sword eyebrows flying proudly.

Simeone couldn't help but greeted him kindly in his heart, and at the same time put the weight of his whole body on his shoulders, hooked his neck more intimately, and said with a smile that was extremely depressed: "Do something today!" A big scene? Like having five players in a row or something? Everyone is shouting for you to be the king of the ball, you can’t be better than your debut performance, right?”

He blew it like this, but Raphael ignored him. Instead, he ignored his body weight and continued to walk towards the court with long legs.

Now Simeone quit.

He is burdened with the expectations of countless people.

He blew a few more words.

He's actually pretty good at blowing, really.

Although the way he blows is all flat and straightforward, without any artistic processing elements, the rare thing is that it is simple and sincere.

Raphael didn't want to bully him at first, really didn't want to, but he was boasting so plainly and sincerely that his skin got goosebumps!

After leaving the camera and walking into the player tunnel, Rafael finally couldn't help asking: "What did Maradona tell you?"

Simeone: "..."

屮!Why is this kid so smart?

And what responded to him at this moment was Raphael's more mocking eyes.

Yes, he knew, of course he knew.

After all, this guy is Maradona's loyal pawn, and he is also a key prevention target who is likely to induce his allergic reaction!
