Nadal: “Messi took things from Real Madrid”

Rafael Nadalwho is in Argentina to play an exhibition match against Casper Ruud this Wednesday, He said in a press conference that the Albiceleste are a “clear candidate to go far” in the World Cup despite a 1-2 loss against Saudi Arabia on debut.

“The team has had a successful path so far and the positivism and state of euphoria is important. I am not too extreme, or too euphoric or catastrophic. The world has not changed from ten hours ago to now. They have only missed one game and have two to go. I believe the lowest of them is trust and respect.Nadal said.

“They came from being America’s champions, from having one of the best historical streaks of consecutive game winning streaks. Why lose faith in that sense? I still think Argentina is a clear candidate to go far“, he added.

However, the Spaniard considers that “equality in sport is increasing” and said that “any team has a chance to win.”

“Everything is defined by details, everything is more and more equal“, said.

Consulted by Lionel Messi, he affirmed that as a Real Madrid fan he had experienced it many timesbut also enjoyed watching him play.

“Messi took things away from Real Madrid for years but in the end, as a sports fan, you appreciate someone so special. In the Spanish League we were lucky enough to enjoy him in the best years of his sports career. He gave us very special moments in the sports world, he is one of the top players in the history of football and sports”, he thought.
