Jose Mourinho created division at Real Madrid, says Raul
Raul has accused Jose Mourinho for creating division at Real Madrid, despite of having successful spell at club.
“The image of Casillas leaving was…difficult. The only ones who what happened are Casillas and the club, and the rest see it from the outside. If you see a Madrid legend say goodbye it shocks you, of course,” he said.

“Mourinho did a great job. The first two years were very good. The team was competitive and defeated the best Barcelona at that time. In the third year, the divisions began, ones you feel from the outside and you can perceive. But to know what to think you need to know the root of the problem.
“When I was there a lot of people said things that didn’t correspond to reality. But the division Mourinho created was clear. There was division. Although, the work he did on the pitch was very good.

“There are many ways to get where you want to be, I always say, and you have to find a strategy so the team is united. Then everyone has their preference. I respect all of them, but I’ll take the sporting aspect: Mourinho competed well with the best Barcelona.”
Raul insisted that he wanted to retire at Real Madrid, and will return at club one day.
Florentino Perez has always offered me a return. Whenever I want. Every time we’re together, he says ‘this is your home.’ In the end I’m the one taking my decisions,” he argued.
“Before I went to Qatar I spoke to Madrid, same as before coming to New York. When I decided to retire from football, I spoke to the President, of course. And I told him my idea was to stay [in New York] and open an office for La Liga.
“He didn’t offer me a particular place in the club. I had made a firm decision, how was he going to offer something concrete in that case? It would have to be a family decision, to want to return to live in Madrid. And from there, to see if I fit in the organisation at that time.
