Ilie Nastase "in forma" la Australian Open 2016?

Jurnalistii australieni au reactionat dupa declaratiile lui Ilie Nastase, acestia fiind de parere ca fostul sportiv roman ar fi putut avea o cariera si mai fructuoasa daca ar fi apelat la un antrenor.

Portalul news.com.au, unul dintre cele mai citite site-uri de la Antipozi, a preluat reactia lui Nastase, care a spus ca el nu a avut antrenori, insa reusea sa isi gaseasca motivatia uitandu-se la iubitele frumoase care il urmareau din tribune.

Australienii considera ca un antrenor l-ar fi putut ajuta mult pe "Nasty", mai ales in momentele in care acesta isi pierdea cumpatul pe terenul de joc.

"Eu n-am avut antrenor. Eu am avut prietene frumoase la care ma uitam. Jucam pentru ele", este declaratia lui Ilie Nastase care i-a nedumerit pe jurnalistii de la Antipozi.


"Nastase, care a castigat la US Open in 1972 si la Roland Garros, a avut o viata colorata, atat pe teren, cat si in afara lui. Poreclit si 'Bufonul din Bucuresti', Nastase a fost unul din marii jucatori ai vremii. El este insa cunoscut si pentru psihicul sau fragil. Poate ca ar fi fost mai bine pentru el sa aiba un antrenor", comenteaza australienii.

Ilie Nastase a fost primul numar 1 mondial din istorie, avand in palmares doua titluri de Grand Slam.

El a mai disputat alte trei finale, una la Paris si doua la Wimbledon, pe care le-a pierdut insa.



Ilie Nastase, cel mai bun jucator de tenis pe care l-a avut Romania, a comentat eliminarea Simonei Halep de la Australian Open.

"Nasty" sustine ca Simona nu a jucat atat de prost pe cat spun unii specialisti, ci a avut ghinionul de a intalni o adversara in forma maxima.

"Sa fim seriosi. Primele doua trei tururi nu a jucat cu jucatoare de valoarea ei. Si a fost si ghinion. Pe partea ei au pierdut toate favoritele. Dar acum nu mai conteaza clasamentele asa tare. Numarul 11 poate sa bata primele locuri. Eu zic ca nu a jucat Simona foarte prost, ci cealalta a jucat foarte bine, excelent", a spus Ilie Nastase pentru Dolce Sport.

In continuare, acesta a afirmat ca Halep ar fi putut avea un mic blocaj psihic, nefiind inca obisnuita cu statutul de favorita.

"Tenisul e un joc de incredere. La turneele de Grand Slam trebuie sa ai cea mai mare incredere. Si noi aveam presiune, dar nu ca acum. Azi e o problema si la noi. Trebuie sa-i dam timp sa castige un Grand Slam. Are numai 22 de ani.

Eu am fost numarul unu mondial. Va spun eu, exista si frica de a castiga si de a pierde. Sunt jucatori care nu aveau trac deloc, ca Jimmy Connors. La Halep nu stiu, eu am simtit pe pielea mea.

Psihologul trebuie sa fii tu, nu pot rezolva problema cei de afara. E bine sa ai un antrenor, manager, familia, dar pe teren numai tu te poti ajuta. Eu n-am avut antrenor. Eu am avut prietene frumoase la care ma uitam. Jucam pentru ele", a mai spus Nastase.
