Rafael Nadal visits El Hormiguero

Rafael Nadal was a guest on the late night talk show with Pablo Matos, El Hormiguero (The Anthill) on TV Cuatro.

Here are a few quotes from marca.com:

“I like to party. And, of course, I drink alcohol. I like tequila.”

“I have good self-control and I never throw my racket or gesture in anger. But with chocolate…”

“With the Titanic I cried like a baby and there was a lot of drama when Mufasa died in The Lion King. I’m brought to tears easily.”

“I haven’t been to many concerts, but I’ve been to a few of Julio Iglesias’. I saw Shakira and Bisbal, but I don’t have much time.”

“Sometimes I sleep well and sometimes, before an important game, I don’t. At the beginning of my career I was anxious but now I control it more. Anyway, even if you sleep little, for three or four hours, you wake up with an adrenaline rush and you can compete well.”

  1. Hello every Rafa fans, and maybe also music fans. Each time I try to connect to TV shows that I appreciate very much around lunch time and before dinner with a very famous Egyptian presenter, my internet connexion is slowed, stopped or so on. I have no access to funny programmes and to the film. I don’t know why. I pay the bills for internet, for electricity, taxes that I should not pay according to my monthly money.

    In the morning, or last Sunday, there were no major problems to have internet if I stay connected. That what I have tried today. In the morning, no problem. In the lunch time, when they are probably some people here, my internet connexion is bad. When I tried take photos of the list, I could not lower the list to see the whole information, with the button on the left side at the beginning. Then I could not read it because it was not clear and then I could see my face in the back side. I remember yesterday when I took the train to come home, I could see a group of teens. One of them was taking a photo of his reflection in the window.

    I have been disconnected in the meanwhile and an internet page appears “waiting for your answer”. I don’t know what all these sh.. means and what answer I am supposed to give because no one speaks to me here. I even did not have my library card. It has been stolen. I am taken apart from everything after I refused to “clean the town”.

    The list of available network today is about the same like yesterday : FreeWifi (action required because I have been disconnected), FreeWifisecure, SFR F890, SFR Maison, SFR WIFI FON (open),
    maybe a bit further according to the icon Bbox-DC8644C2, Freebox-JARJAR,
    maybe a little bit further according to the icon Freebox-31CD32, Freebox-4D76E1, Livebox-3602

    As the internet supplier is doing nothing to make things improving while still taking my money, I wanted to ask someone why I have so many internet cuts. They have accepted in the buildings my internet supplier for the fiber. I don’t know if this is the reason why I have so many internet cuts to force me to take a more expensive contract (I have received a lot of promotional SMS lately) or this is a combinaison of people. The owners here have proven some hostile behaviours with people from different origins even before I arrived.
    (I heard mostly Asian people, Black people).

    By the way, if you know this host who is doing a very well known show called Taratata, among others, please tell him to let people the possibility to watch his daily programmes.

    As you can see, whenever I want to do something, there is an immediate reaction. My place is no longer belonging to me but I have to pay for it, taxes and so on.

    Thank you in advance.

    By the way, I had to reconnect because it was not possible to connect directly to this site. (interphone, means that I have finished to write, I suppose).

  2. This is one of my faves from the show:

    If Rafael Nadal could give only one advice to a kid who wants to become a pro tennis player:

    “Do you best to improve each day but most of all, have some fun.”

    @El_Hormiguero

  3. Rafa the best human being and the best tennis player all the time we are ready for the next tournament vamosssssss champ we love you all your fans all over the world 🌎 see you in February play 👍😘😍🎾

  4. I think you are a great human being and admire you very much you deserve everything that you have received from all the people who love you rafa hope you had a lovely day vamos rafa

  5. The champ he is I am sure he will once again grace the tennis courts and give us a lot to enjoy and many hours of watching the best player of all time

  6. Very revealing facts about our Champ – sensitive, empathetic and intense, yet self-controlled and disciplined.

    We’ve seen glimpses of all these character traits over the years….the interview/chat only confirms what I have speculated by watching Rafa all these years, on court, off the court and social media posts.

    Crying while watching Mufasa – shows the depth and breadth of his values.

    Can’t wait till February 8th, to see Rafa grace our court once again!
