“I am very honored that he comes to attend my matches. I am very grateful to him”
In a press conference, Nole returned to this meeting. “I’ve met him several times in the past. He used to come and see me play in London, especially in the World Tour finals. We had a tournament in London for many years and as he was a coach there, he came see me. He is a huge tennis fan and, of course, one of the greatest football coaches we have, not only today but in history. I am very honored that he is coming to attend my matches. I am very grateful to him. He is a very nice person and he has always been very nice to me and my team. I hope I can return the favor and go see his team when he trains, because I don’t think I’ve ever done it. Maybe I went to see Real Madrid when he was in Madrid. So I’m very happy.”
