You could say now that we are approaching December 22 that it is easier to get your turn. Christmas Lottery Jackpot that a legend of world sport like Rafa Nadal something out of this world happens to him like Carlitos Alcaraz. In a very unique ‘cycle of life’ in nature, the extinction of one star gave rise to another. And it is fortunate for Spain that both players are ours. After finding a needle in lhe galaxy with the Balearic tennis player, who has just retired, we look for another and we find the Murcian phenomenon.
They will say that it is fortune or the music of chance. It is, for me, the Rafa Effect. Because surely without the inspiring Nadal that we had for almost 20 years, this current Carlitos would not exist. Can it be proven? No. But unempirical sensations tell you that without Seve would not exist Rahmwithout Angel Nieto they wouldn’t be Marc Márquez nor Jorge Martínand without Fernando Martin, Paul he would not have dared with the NBA adventure. The success of the eldest Gasol was a lever to propel all those who later dared to cross the pond. It has happened in many sports. The Carolina Marín’s claw It surely comes from having a reference with an indomitable spirit like Rafa.
What of Carlitos After the Rafa era, he values Nadal as a model, be like Rafa: his teachings, his conquests, his character, his way of winning, his humility, his values and his legacy. The call effect is undoubted, but it should also make us proud as a country. Spain. Now that some Spaniards have tried to boycott a Spanish woman so that she does not become vice president of the European CommissionNo more, no less, we could unite a little to celebrate this wonderful succession that makes Nadal’s sad goodbye a little more bearable. Although we have enjoyed Rafa As we never did before with a Spanish athlete, now we have Carlos, who has an immense, extraordinary talent, and is also the product of years of work in grassroots sports development, and of a top-level competitive infrastructure and culture in Spain. . Yeah, Spain. We don’t do things that badly.
