Intro:

Real Madrid legend Raul has been unveiled as the New York Cosmos' newest signing ahead of the 2015 North American Soccer league season.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: Raul (on his contract with the Cosmos)

"I have a contract for two years. I will try to play those two years, but it might be one, maybe two, maybe even three years. If my body says this is it in six months, I will be more involved in the academy. I moved here with something in mind - bringing my family to enjoy New York, which is one of the best cities in the world, and I'm committed to that. There are no limits and no deadlines. I will hopefully play for many, many, many years."

SOUNDBITE: Raul (on whether he has future plans to go back to Spain)

"My plan is to build an academy, and work on this project with the Cosmos. It won't take six months for this kind of big project, but I'm committed to being here with the Cosmos now. If I return to Spain at any given time, for obvious reasons it would probably be with Real Madrid. Whatever I'm doing here now with the Cosmos would be a great experience to go and apply with Real Madrid."

SOUNDBITE: Raul (on the level of play in the US as compared to Europe)

"You can't compare the level of play in Europe to any other place in the world. But I was really surprised to see NASL games, and while I expected to see maybe only physical games, it was a great game. The level is improving basically day by day, and the United States national team did a great job at the World Cup in Brazil."
