What a fabulous ad! And Rafa’s acting is much better than usual – he speaks with conviction. Love Pau and Iniesta also. Presumably Rafa’s portion was taped during that busy week after WTF. Well done Nike!
I think it helps that it’s a topic he believes in fully.
yes, and i think its his way of inspiring his countrymen through these difficult economic times. such a patriot. love love love him!
Rafa Nadal campeon del US Open, Roland Garros y Wimbledon! :)
AWESOME ad, yet so simple. AWESOME athletes. Spain really do have a lot to be proud about.
Luv this intense, tough ninja Rafa in short-shorts. Pau and Andres are cool too.
At the risk of sounding ignorant, could someone explain what the ad is all about? Thanks in advance!
basically pau, andres and rafa give an enumeration of the spanish athletes who have achieved great feats this year. :) and encourages the rest of their countrymen to shine and enlighten/light up their country. :D
Love these guys but hate this ad!
let’s start the new year with love rather than hate, dislike instead would be more appropriate. It was a great ad and I guess you did not understand it. Happy holidays!
Accusing people of not understanding something isn’t exactly in the spirit of your first sentence. Perhaps they did understand it and just don’t care for it.
Rafa had the most importent role. He begon and he spoked the most.
Vamos Rafa!
PS: Just back from madrid, Rafa won there. Both players played great. It coulded even be a slam final. I orderd a piece of the court whit Rafa’s signature and guess what, I got his signature and a video whit him (you heard me right not a photo but a hole video) and some photo’s but those ware made from a distance but they ware still great photo’s because me and Rafa whare on the photo.
Oh you lucky lucky person bet you had a great time.
Thanks for the great video showcasing Rafa’s acting skills in Spanish. Our native language really brings out a certain part of us that can never be duplicated in a learned language. (I know I know, it’s really Mallorquin for him, but Spanish is close enough) Happy Holidays!
thank you buddy
Ooooo love this ad. Rafa looks good. Very good. Looks like it’s filmed in his usual indoor practice court in Manacor. Nice one Nike, pretty inspired. And yes, plenty conviction Rafa. Mmm yum yum.
Mmmm just watched it again. So hot Rafa. Like the intensity of the ad. And the all black. And the simplicity.
That’s what I noticed as well. It’s filmed in the indoor practice court he uses in Mallorca. Spotting that must reconfirm our RafaKadness.
Someone translate!!!
Have you read through the comments? People have already given a pretty good idea of what the advert is about and what is said.
Loving his passion and intensity in this ad. His best so far, the ninja (agreed) like black outfit with shorter shorts!! it is indeed inspirational.. absolutely loved this! whats not to like?
I love this ad! Fight against the darkness! Be the light that they say we have lost! Sooo freakin inspirational! And filmed excellently. Yup I love this.
