Nadal responds to criticism for his congratulations to Villarreal: "A Spanish team won and I'm glad"

Rafa Nadal has found it necessary to explain his congratulations to Villarreal because a few fans have criticized that he was happy for the Yellow Submarine and had not published anything about the promotion that Mallorca certified a few weeks ago. «Congratulations to Villarreal and all his supporters for the title in the Europa League. Very happy! You deserve it! “, Said Rafa Nadal after Unai Emery’s men beat Manchester United in an agonizing and exciting penalty shoot-out. Many fans criticized the tennis player, one of the best athletes in the history of Spain, for the fact that he congratulated Villarreal and a few weeks before he did not do the same with Mallorca.

In the face of criticism from a few Rafa Nadal has decided to break his silence. “Sometimes there are things that are not necessary or made public, they are taken for granted. My uncle Miguel Ángel played for Mallorca and I have lived, encouraged and vibrated as a fan of Mallorca in good times and bad, “the Manacor man began to write.” Villarreal? Rivalries anchored in the past make no sense to me. A Spanish team won and I am happy about it », Rafa Nadal continued explaining. «By the way, this is the video that I sent from Rome to the coach of Mallorca to support the players. I think it was shown in the dressing room before the game, “he concluded, attaching the images in which he wished all the luck in the world to the Balearic squad.The Villareal?
