Polemics in Spain after Rafael Nadal's farewell

Controversy rages in Spain over Rafael Nadal's quiet farewell. After his elimination from the Davis Cup, è the curtain has come down on the legendary career of the Manacor tennis player, who according to many has not è been paid tribute as he deserved. Uncle Toni Nadal harshly criticized the farewell ceremony organized in Malaga.

"I don’t want to criticize anyone, but I would have preferred something different as a member of his family and his former coach. They obviously had good intentions, but I would have preferred something else. The images convey passion to a person like Rafa. If they had done this, everything would have been up to Rafael. I did not è like this".

Also outraged was Carlos Moya, Rafa’s former coach: "This is not the time to blame anyone, but the feeling è that of having witnessed something disorderly. È it is true that we are talking about a Tuesday night, but we knew for months that if Spain lost, Nadal would retire that day. We knew for months that it would happen and now we are trying to assimilate. È it was a farewell not up to what Rafa Nadal means to the sport" to Onda Cero.

Spain captain David Ferrer criticized the absence of his historical rivals: "Rafa’s greatness deserves something more. The farewell è was made with the best intentions, of course è it was set up after losing and quickly… when you lose you are sad. I missed Federer, Djokovic, Gasol, who è a good friend of his… was supposed to be onè Friday. I should not have spoken even though è a dear friend of mine, other people should have spoken".
