"Real Madrid forward Raul has offered his teammate Michael Owen to leave the Royal club if he is not completely dedicated to it. The former Liverpool striker, who scored a goal against Northern Ireland yesterday, has been mainly a substitute for the Spanish capital club this season, so there has been constant talk about a possible return to England. Raul offered his teammate, who often gives his place in the starting lineup to Raul himself and Brazilian Ronaldo, to leave Real if his heart is not in Madrid. "I know that Michael Owen is linked to powerful Premiership clubs," said the Spanish national team forward. "I can only say that Real Madrid must be represented only by players who are completely dedicated to the team. If someone is unhappy in Madrid, they should leave the club. Everyone, including Michael Owen." "Players must be eager to defend the honor of Real," commented Raul on his statement. It is worth noting that recently Raul had stated that he was willing to leave the Royal club if it would benefit the team."
