“There are certain things that I could not accept because of my condition”

It is precisely because of this difficulty in understanding the end of the relationship that fans remain attentive to any explanation beyond those that the two protagonists offered in their respective official statements to make the separation public.

While Alcaraz is already looking towards the start of the next class, the Valencian has spoken several times, the last in front of the microphones of Spanish National Radio (RNE)in an interview in which she detailed the details of the end of the professional relationship and admitted to not having spoken to him since.

“I’m true to my values ​​and my thoughts, and that’s it. There are certain things that I have not been able to accept because of my condition.and I’m happy with this part. On the other hand, for having broken up and for not continuing with Carlos, of course I am not satisfied and happy, that’s not what I wanted. Everyone has a path and some think one way and others another. When it happens, you have to accept it,” Ferrero explained on the show.Sports Radio Gazette‘.

The former Alcaraz coach admitted that “each day that passes, he assimilates a little more.” “The days go by and despite the sad news for everyone, we get used to the idea. I get lots of messages from lots of people, lots of support and lots of encouragement. People have realized the work that has been done, so I am very calm,” he added.

“I am very happy with everything that has been achieved, I think it is something out of the ordinary. You already know well what happened, there is no need to talk about it further, We already know that there was ultimately no agreement on the contract and that it was agreed not to continue.. There’s not much to say. It’s a surprise for everyone, but we have to accept it,” he explained. “The new contract was sent to me and I had to review it. I didn’t agree with certain things that we saw in the new contract, I made them known and ultimately no agreement was found and that’s it.

“There was no fight with him or those around him”

Ferrero, who assured that there had been “no problems with the environment” of the tennis player or “no fights all year round neither with him nor with the environment“, admitted that they had always agreed on the annual renewal of the contract “until this year comes”. And regarding the contract itself and the clauses that could have caused the rupture, he was direct: “That remains between us. Things we don’t agree on should be kept private and I for one won’t come out.

On the other hand, Ferrero admitted that he had not spoken to her since they broke off their professional relationship. “At the moment we haven’t spoken. I think he needs to be calm and be able to train and let time pass a little bit for things to calm down. Later I will contact him to talk and make sure everything is okay. “When that happens, I’m sure we’ll continue to talk and remember many things we’ve experienced together. A very important chapter has passed and you will see how friends we still are», he bets.

For the technician, “when the relationships are very long, the relationship wears out a little. For this reason, I also believe that the entry of a second coach was important to refresh the ideas and that everyone works in the same direction”, he considered about the signing of Samuel López, with whom he hopes that the relationship will continue to be good. “Since I was 10 he has been with me, he is my coach, I trained with him and now he is on the same team and he has worked very well. First of all, It’s a little difficult to accept that one of your loved ones remains on the team, but you have to assimilate it. It will take a little time and from there you will be fine.

“Samuel has enough experience to stand on his own at the moment. When time passes and you have participated in many tournaments for several weeks in a row without resting, you can consider yourself a new coach. He will go to all the tournaments with the rest of the team and when he needs help, I guess his brother will travel too,” he explained.

Ferrero, who ruled out immediately returning to training to “take some time after seven long years to regain enthusiasm and motivation”, did not rule out working with Alcaraz again in the future. “Because of the relationship I had with Carlos, a definite no would be something I don’t feel in myself. I I don’t think about it, but when I close the door, I won’t close it because of the friendship that unites me with him and the whole team.“.

“Carlos knows what is good for him and what is not”

He also believes that the breakup will not affect El Palmar. “It’s not ideal for something like this to happen, but once it happens you have to try to recover as quickly as possible, train as well as possible during the pre-season and go there with a lot of enthusiasm. Talent wise and mentally he is more than ready to win in Australia and I think that will be a clear goal. I wish him the best, that he leaves with a lot of enthusiasm, with a lot of strength and that he leaves what happened behind him, that it does not have any harmful consequences for him.

Finally, regarding the possibility that the separation could somehow affect the self-criticism of the tennis player, he hopes that the Murcian does not lose it. “The people around him, from what I know, also tell him things quite clearly.. At 22, you can make certain mistakes due to lack of experience and the people around you know this very well. I know him well and he knows very well what is good for him and what is not, and I think he will take the right path. He loves to compete, to participate in tournaments, to fight for titles… I am clear that at the moment this will not happen to him.
