Interview: Rafael Nadal: "Proud of our team"

You must be necessarily happy that Spain is in the final of EuroBasket2015?

Of course ! I have many friends in the team, representing our country today. I'm really proud of our team. They competed formidably. I saw most of the games and I'm really happy that we are in the final because it means that we are qualified for the Olympics. That's a lot. I just hope that day will be another great day for Spanish sport!

The stadium is just amazing! It is something really very special. The area reserved for basketball games is beautiful. I saw a lot of the football stadium and it is truly amazing.

You are big fan of the Spanish national team?

I am a sportsman but I'm also a big fan of sport! I love sports, all sports. I am a great supporter of all my sporting friends. I am a patriot!
