Self-control is what

showed last night

during his visit to

.

If there was someone who could contain himself before a final question more than uncomfortable from

, that could not be other than

.

What has been a full-blown act of containment, an "I can't tell you", which wanted to be kept as silence, but which made more noise than if

had wanted to and could answer.

One last question, the very last one, that could catch

with a changed foot, but that the 13-time Roland Garros champion knew how to fight in the best way.

He could have gotten into a puddle - although

He is forgiven if there is anything to be forgiven - and yet he emerged victorious with a smile and probably the most sincere answer he could give:

.

The best answer to a question that broke the scheme of a friendly and easy interview, too easy.

Pablo Motos

wanted to do an interview as if

no one knew

or, perhaps, as if we believe that we know him so much that the simplest and most futile aspects are taken for granted, when in reality they are the ones that

best keeps .

However, this is not the case.

The simple questions of

, such as the first album that he bought with his own money, may sound ridiculous, but the reality is that who knew which was the first album that was bought with his money or what is his culinary weakness .

Another thing is that it may interest more or less, another thing is that it is believed that being

always have to ask him about his achievements, his triumphs, his game and ignore more simple ones, that if you ask them you will surely also be interested.

What is not interesting about

?

Everyone wants to know more about

.

And perhaps it is because of her that

interview

with

in

last night

was sometimes squeaky.

Screeching because neither the public nor

are used to being asked if he likes the party, if he sleeps well or if he has ever cried while watching a movie.

But if the questions can screech and sound like a

interview

, it is more surprising that

, yes,

, answers them without keeping the decorum expected of probably the best Spanish athlete of all time.

But we forget that

behind the victories, behind his game, behind his glory, is a person like you and me.

"What a life yours!",

snapped at one point in the interview

after

explained how he overcomes defeats and how he manages them.

answer

is so simple, but at the same time it shows so much that it is difficult to ask why he is idolized: "No, what luck! We have a great life."

And it is true that of all his answers, the most surprising or, at least, the one that hid the most in his silence was the one that gave that last uncomfortable question, but I am left with his "no, what luck!"

because I think it is the one that best describes

.

Of all the questions

asked him

about his game, his effort, his strategy in games, his injuries, etc.

that one "no, what luck! is the one that shows that

is not only great on the track, he is as great or more also off it. And it is because of answers like these, apart from all his sporting glory, that The figure of

is one of those figures who manage to unite a whole country. Yes, we make his victories like ours, we enjoy them, he raises the morale of all Spain, but if there were not that

of "no, what luck ! "I highly doubt that everything else would hold up.

Rafa Nadal, without half measures in El Hormiguero

"You have the ability to make people happy just by entering a room,"

started

an interview in which a nervous Pablo Motos was seen, distressed by the presence of a great like

.

It gave the feeling that

not find his place in the interview, but who could find him when you have someone like

in front of you

?

Well,

made it easy for him or, at least, I try.

I think he is aware of the impact he generates on others and tries to make the other person feel comfortable, not to tense up.

It's hard, but you try.

And I think that's why he wanted to answer

questions with all possible sincerity

.

Because there were questions that are not easy for an athlete.

It is true that the first 10 minutes of interviews were completely dedicated to his sporting side and his epic last victory at Roland Garros.

An interview like all the others.

"Are your intuitions fulfilled when you get up one morning when you have a final?

asked

." More than in the morning when you get up, when you go to rally.

The morning of the Roland Garros final I did notice that I could win, "he replied.

"You were moved by the anthem and then you said it was because every year you see it more difficult for it to happen again," continued

.

"It is a reality. Like all these years, which I think have been a gift, I value the things that are happening to me much more. I enjoy training more."

As usual.

"Has it crossed your mind 'I'm going to have to leave it'?", Continued Motos.

"No, never. To stop for a while yes, but not to stop. It is true that I have had the great luck that when I have had an injury the results have returned to be good very quickly and that emotionally is very important."

As usual.

"What advice would you give a child who wants to dedicate himself to this? It almost rang out, almost like the Santander announcement starring

." Have fun, try your best every day, but have fun.

One cannot be a professional from the age of 8 ". Like the advertisement, too. Thus, the first 10 minutes of the interview, the same interviews as always. And that's when

wanted to leave the unwritten script that always marks the interviews with characters like

. "Now I would like to talk more about the personal," he told him, and

gesture

changed for a few moments. Fear when the person interviewing you changes the rules. But no. It is not that they were questions. that they bothered, but they did go out of the ordinary.

once again taught everyone a lesson. He did not try to weather any, he did not try to hide any of them or give the politically correct answer. He answered, period.

The Super Pop of Pablo Motos

"Do you sleep well before an important match?"

wanted to know

after asking him how he overcomes his defeats.

We already know the latter, because it is not the first time he has answered it, but does

sleep well

? Does he need a few hours of sleep to perform at his best?

Well, no.

"Sometimes yes and sometimes no. It has nothing to do with whether you sleep well or badly to win."

"How are the parties? Are you celebrating?" Perhaps this is not a secret either, but

able to keep quiet and give the answer that is taken for granted that an athlete should give.

Ha!

"I like to party, yes."

"And when you go out, do you drink?"

"I drink everything (...) Tequila I've had."

Now you go and bark it.

"What kind of videos or pages do you visit on the Internet?" As I said,

.

"As we are almost always out, the first thing I do is get into the news from Spain," he replied.

"And if there is bad news about you, do you read it?"

continued

.

"I read the headline and I don't read anymore. I don't read my news."

"As a teenager, what was the first album you bought with your money?" Come on, we continue to bingo.

"I think one of

."

Alejandro Sanz always comes out.

"Do you go to concerts? Which one is the best you've been to?", Yes, it seems like joke.

"I have been to several Julio Iglesias concerts. I have been seeing Shakira, David Bisbal, but not many international artists."

"Have you ever cried watching a movie?" Believe it.

"Many times. I am very sensitive. With

, with

. When Mufasa died it was a drama."

"Do you have any culinary weaknesses?"

"Chocolate. I have very good self-control on the track, but with chocolate ... Now I try less, but it costs me."

"They say you're always late," and so on all the time.

"When I'm late it's because I'm on the couch and I say 'I have plenty of time' and at the last moment something always happens that makes me five minutes late. When I was young I would arrive later. For example, I would meet my friends to go partying, and at what time does the party start in Mallorca? Well, like 2:00 am. If we were meeting earlier for dinner, what were you doing there from 9:30 pm? It was better to arrive at 10:30 pm or so, and then go to party straight away " .

.

The best answer that Rafa Nadal could give

I do not dodge a single question.

He did not cheat on any of them.

He did not want to show the friendly side that everyone expects but the real one, the one that is real.

Few do, but

is

for things like this.

Even that last question that put him in a bind and that he knew how to weather in the only way he could, he also answered.

Perhaps it was not the answer that, I am convinced, I would have given at another time, but it was the best I could give, actually, the one I could give being who she is.

"I want to ask you one last question to finish: If you could change something about Spain, what would you change?"

did not think about it for half a second.

He smiled that 'hostile, that's okay, man' smile and answered what he could best answer: "I can't tell you"

An "I can't tell you" that rumbled.

"You've said it all,"

replied

, also amid those nervous laughs from someone who just got stunned.

What did Motos want?

What would I say to him without mincing words 'because it would change the government that we have'?

Perhaps he would have loved to be able to answer without half measures, perhaps he would have loved to be able to really say what he thought, but

knows perfectly well that he is not only a figure on the court but that he also has to be outside, that his opinion does not pass by, that what you say may be a tsunami.

He gave the best answer he could give with everyone being aware of what he really meant.

He has hinted at it on other occasions and last night, even answering a "I can't tell you" was the clearest answer, the one that could best be understood, the one that best suited

and the one that someone like him knows he can give .

Yes, it made him uncomfortable, but it did not bother him because he did not want to answer it, it made him uncomfortable because he is aware that what he says carries with it a great responsibility.

And as my mother says, there is no oven for buns.

No need to add more fuel to the fire.

In fact, the intentions of

in his interview last night at

when asking that question are clear to all of us.

He did an interview in which there was no room for politics, or for thorny issues that bothered

.

But he could not contain himself.

I think the desire to have wanted to do it and not have dared could.

That's why I leave it for last.

Let's see if it works.

And it did not slip.

When he went,

already coming.

"I can not tell you".
