Final Push For Raúl's Euro 2008

Real Madrid's in their final two league games is to ensure that Raúl does all he can to push his case for a place in the Spain squad for Euro 2008, according to Marca.

The media campaign to see los Merengues' captain included in Luis Aragonés' thoughts rolls on and with only two weeks to go before the final decision, a last push is being made.

Raúl has not played for Spain since September 2006 when the national team were beaten by Northern Ireland in Belfast and has looked as qualification for the European Championships was secured.

Marca state that after winning the championship against Osasuna, the Madrid chanted on the team bus for Rulo, as the striker is affectionately known, to go to Austria and Switzerland.

Bernd Schuster is preparing to rest several first team regulars for the last two matches of the league season, but Raúl will appear in both in order to press his case.

Aragonés is believed to have removed the player that has made 102 appearances and scored 44 goals for Spain because he led a group of dissenting veteran players against the coach during the World Cup.

That move, if true, upset the coach more than anything and none of those involved, two of whom were Michel Salgado and Santi Cañizares, have ever been named in another squad.

Raúl was left out of the crucial preliminary squad who were all told to have injections against Central European Encephalitis and that was seen as a crucial sign.

Despite that, Marca are continuing their case and hoping that Aragonés will change his mind at the last minute and omit either Fernando Torres, David Villa, Raúl Tamudo, Dani Güiza or Luis García, who are all ahead of their favourite.
