Because of the success of the team in Europe there is much talk of Atletico Madrid. Raul believes that respect it is down to the work every day. "You earn respect with the results you've been getting. When you’re getting the results everyone wants to know what we have done. What the team wants is to follow this line. Going from game to game. It's an idea we have, an idea that has gone well so far and how we want to continue."
