Gerard Piqué was left wanting in Madrid to present the environmental project 'Top Ten for the world', associated with the Davis Cup , which starts on November 18. The Barcelona player and president of the company Kosmos Tennis, organizer of the competition in the Spanish capital, said that «from the first day we sat down with the Madrid institutions, they welcomed us with open arms. One of the objectives we had was to get involved with other social projects ».
The campaign is that from this Thursday, and until November 6, all people who come to the Plaza de Callao and deliver 10 plastic or glass bottles for recycling, will receive in return a nominal entry for the tournament. According to Piqué, the idea occurred to him walking through a park with his children, who collected the bottles thrown by others . "I hope people really get involved, because we do good to the planet we live in," added the footballer.
The Davis de Piqué will gather in Madrid the 18 best teams, between November 18 and 24. Spain will act as host in the competition, framed in group B, along with Croatia, current champion, and Russia. He will debut on the 19th against the Russians led by Daniil Medvedev. The Spanish team will be formed by Rafa Nadal, Roberto Bautista, Pablo Carreño, Feliciano López and Marcel Granollers .
