Schalke 04’s Raul Gonzalez will feel honoured to swap shirts with Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs
Real Madrid legend and current Schalke 04 striker, Raul http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985. The statement comes as Manchester United prepares to take on Schalke in the first of a two-legged
semi-final of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, April 26, 2011.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 joined the German side from Real Madrid before the start of the 2010/11 season after spending more than 15 years at the Spanish Capital. The Spanish international who has scored more goals than anyone in Champions League history, has claimed that he
would be honoured to take Ryan Gigg’s shirt after the match. The striker feels that even at his age, Giggs has looked after himself and is showing no signs of fading.
Talking to reporters Raul said, “What we have in common is that we love this profession. Football is our lives. They are great professionals who look after themselves and who train properly. For Giggs to still be playing at this level at 37 years of age
is incredible.”
“He is still playing every three or four days and often in various positions – in midfield or out wide. He is still adding new things to his game and you can only admire that. Facing them again makes this match all the more special and I hope I can swap
shirts at the end of the game with Ryan Giggs. It will be a great honour to have that shirt,” said the Spaniard 
Giggs is the record appearance holder for Manchester United, having played 871 matches so far. At 37 years of age, Giggs is still playing like he used to play in the early days of his career. The veteran midfielder has played a huge role in United’s success
in the current season. The Welshman was the creator of all three of United’s quarter-final goals against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 this season. His brilliance on the pitch has led observers to opine that he should be awarded with a knighthood.
Raul is confident that his team will continue their good run of form and will down United to book a place in the final at Wembley.
