fourth captain Casillas of Real, who leaving the club during the reign of Florentino Perez. However, only the first of the four – Manuel Sanchis – retired. His successors: the great Fernando Hierro, Raul and Iker Casillas were forced to pursue a career in other clubs. This alone is certainly not reprehensible, because in football becoming less common cases that a player from the beginning to the end game in one club. Especially when it no longer wants to use its services, but the player does not have a desire to end his career.
But at Real you can have grievances about the way farewells. Each of the mentioned trio left the Santiago Bernabeu a little side door in the break between seasons. And even the most beautiful word on whether a farewell press conference several months after the fact can not replace what survived last season even Steven Gerrard and Xavi. The last league match before a home crowd farewell ovation from the fans and the general emotion.
Meanwhile, the decision not to renew contract with Fernando Hierro, which for Real spent fourteen, taken two days after the end of the season 2002/2003. His farewell was held, however, two years later, on the occasion of the derby match against Atletico.
shot Raul’s goals Real until sixteen. In 2008 he even signed a lifetime contract, but when the 2009/2010 season only thirteen times came in the starting lineup, he decided to leave. In summer 2010 zasilił Schalke, a club of which he was an icon bid him farewell until three years later, in the course of dubious quality match for the Cup Santiago Bernabeu.
And when it seemed that the Merengues drew any conclusions from inadequate treatment of their legends, it’s time to say goodbye to Iker Casillas. After 25 years since the first appearance in the club, the goalkeeper moves to FC Porto. But once again, it happens between seasons and even the most sophisticated words at the press conference can not replace farewell during a competitive match.
In addition, the Real to the end of Casillas bargaining over who will pay 3 million euros tax. And yet we are talking about a club with a budget of half a billion euros and the player who beat him eighteen different trophies.
course, it is so that in this case the fault is only on the side of the Kings. You can see at a glance that Real can not treat their legends with respect, what should be required of one of the biggest clubs in the world. The thesis confirms breakup with Casillas, but the previously reported cases of dubious quality parting with Hierro and Raul, and similar to the Gutim or coach Vicente Del Bosque.
