Outside the car window, the emerald ocean blends with the blue sky, and the horizon disappears into the sparkling splendor and brightness. The full white sail shows the shape of the wind, and the cotton wadding is scattered here and there.
The clouds are also lazily basking in the sun.
"Wow, this scenery..." I sighed involuntarily and tried to describe it in words, but found that the sound had disappeared and I was just enjoying it quietly.
Nadal also followed Gawain's line of sight and looked out, his eyes showing a touch of pride, as well as infinite affection and love, "I just like this place and I will never get tired of it. If we have the chance, we can go out on a yacht and enjoy the sun."
Sun, fishing, and enjoying an afternoon.”
Gawain, with a very serious expression, said, "How about this afternoon?"
As he spoke, Gawain became eager to try. Although the plane had just landed, he could not see the tiredness of the long-distance flight and the jet lag. He was ready to wander in this enchanting blue and gorgeous gold, opening his arms.
, as if it can embrace the whole world.
Nadal's face was full of shock, and he even quickly looked back at Gao Wen, then quickly turned back, "But, what about training? Don't you still have to adapt to the venue?"
Gawain, "Oh, training... I have completely forgotten about it. Do I have to continue training in heaven?"
Seeing the sad expression on Gawain's face, the two Nadal brothers laughed again.
Maribel joked half-jokingly, "Where is the rumored training madman? I also want to compare and see who is crazier, you or Rafa."
Gao Wen spread his hands and said, "Oh, are you talking about that madman? He got lost when he was transferring flights in Barcelona. It's a pity that he didn't follow him here."
Talking nonsense seriously.
The laughter in the carriage could no longer be controlled, and it was spreading and stirring wantonly under the golden sunshine. The comfortable atmosphere of a group of young people going on vacation filled the air.
However, "vacation" is just a word.
Training, this is the real purpose of this trip.
Now, there is still one week before the opening of the Monte Carlo Masters. To be precise, if you deduct today and the time to leave for Monte Carlo, it is actually not a week at all; and Gao Wen needs to complete the transition from hard court to clay.
Change, things are not that simple, time is very tight.
Arriving at the residential villa, Toni Nadal was already waiting there, warmly welcoming Gao Wen and his party.
After a short rest and adjustment, Gao Wen followed Nadal to visit the training ground.
Although the tennis school is still under construction, some layout outlines can already be seen, and different plans for different areas have become clear.
In addition, four open-air clay practice courts have also been put into use; not far away, you can also see an indoor clay practice court being built.
On the one hand, it is for closed training; on the other hand, it is for targeted training to adapt to different climate conditions. It is very thoughtful.
At present, the equipment is very simple, each building looks like it is under construction, and there is not much worth visiting at all.
So, the visit ended quickly.
Nadal shrugged, "It's nothing now, but by this time next year, it should be completely new. Then it will look completely different."
"In addition, the Mallorca Open will also start next year, and when the grass court season comes, it should be completely different here."
In the simple words, you can feel the deep pride.
Looking at Nadal in front of him, an idea flashed in Gao Wen's mind, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Rafa, why would you want to open a tennis school? I mean, if you want to make money, this is obviously not a good investment."
If a tennis school wants to achieve profitability, it will be difficult to see positive effects in the short term because this is a long-term project with huge risks.
When it comes to business, Federer is the one worth learning from.
Nadal showed a shallow smile and shook his head slightly.
"Because I never thought about making money."
The smile paused slightly at the corner of his mouth, and Nadal's expression showed some sincerity.
"Gaowen, I am not a smart person, at least, my wisdom is not reflected in business and entrepreneurship; moreover, I do not expect to build a business empire by myself. For now, even if I choose to leave professional tennis tomorrow, my
Wealth will never be used up in a lifetime."
"I don't need bank figures to define my happiness, because you know that in this world, there will always be people with bigger houses and more luxurious cars than you. I don't think I can climb to the top of the pyramid, and I don't think those
Numbers can be the key to a happy life."
"I created the tennis school because I really wanted to do something for the children who love tennis, and also for my beloved hometown."
After a short pause, Nadal turned to look at Gawain.
"I like football, very, very much, and for a team, what is the most important thing, you know?"
Different answers were already swirling on the tip of his tongue, but Gao Wen did not express his thoughts directly, but thought about it seriously, "Youth training."
"Haha." Nadal laughed happily, "Yes, youth training. Because those children represent the future and the team's everlasting hope."
"Tennis, too."
"In Spain, the market base of tennis is far inferior to that of football. Believe me, I really love football, but tennis is a career that I have devoted my life to. I also sincerely hope that tennis can flourish in my homeland.
So I chose this path."
"Perhaps, ten or twenty years from now, we can see more Spanish young players in the top 100 in the world rankings, whether they come from my tennis school or not, but I hope they know that here, I
Always support them.”
Simple, yet affectionate.
Gawain nodded slightly, and his inspiration was verified. Then he looked at Nadal and expressed his thoughts.
"Not long ago, I participated in the Davis Cup."
Nadal's eyes suddenly lit up, "A very important part of my happiest and most beautiful memories comes from representing Spain in the Davis Cup."
Gawain smiled and said, "Me too, it was indeed a special experience."
"After the Davis Cup ended, I was thinking about what else I can do for my motherland; how can I promote the development of tennis by myself."
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now, Gawain can finally understand the meaning of this sentence.
Nadal immediately understood Gawain's thoughts and raised his chin slightly, "You can try it and see. I believe that your name is the best call."
"If you need help with anything, you can always ask me, or Maribelle."
call.
Gawain let out a long breath, now it was just an inspiration, and to develop the inspiration into a blueprint, he needed to think long and hard.
Then, Gao Wen turned to look at Nadal.
"Now, I also have something to look forward to. I need to get used to the venue. Three days later, when we meet in the practice match, I hope my performance will not be too awkward. After all, I don't have the opportunity to compete with you anytime."
