I also had a very good relationship with Andrea, we knew each other because we are both from Barcelona and we live there. I wanted a young player who would have the same team, in the end we shared the physical trainer, the psychologist and the coach. A unique team that today in padel gives you an advantage." </p> <span class="dynamic-ad-module "/><span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-xs roba-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit roba"> </span></span></span> <figure class="composite-image image-container " data-gtm-element-container="button-gallery"> <div class="picture-wrapper"> <picture> <source media="(min-width: 638px)" data-srcset="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/files/content_image_desktop_filter/uploads/2025/12/05/69330e4fbd85f.jpeg" width="544" height="258"> <source media="(min-width: 480px)" data-srcset="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/files/content_image_intermediate_filter/uploads/2025/12/05/69330e4fbd85f.jpeg" width="607" height="288"> </source></source></picture><span class="visible-md inimage-container "><span class="ad-unit inimage"> </span></span><span class="visible-xs inimage-container "><span class="ad-unit inimage"> </span></span> </div> <figcaption class="figure-caption"> <p class="caption-title ">Ari Sanchez, a 100% Catalan couple</p> <span class="caption-author ">Doctor</span> </figcaption> </figure> <p data-gtm-element-container="modulo-texto-link" class="paragraph">Ari did not hesitate to praise his partner: “I know she has a lot of desire and that she competes very well, I trust her 100%. <strong>She is training a lot, something she might not have been so used to before.</strong>. “He is responding very well, hanging in there, something that will help him become stronger in the competition.” </p> <span class="dynamic-ad-module "/><span class="content-ad-module "> <span class="content-ad visible-xs roba-container hidden-ad"><span class="ad-unit roba"> </span></span></span><span class="content-related content-border related-double " data-gtm-element-container="modulo-noticias-relacionadas"> <span class="module-supra-title"> <span>Also read</span></span> <span class="related-double-module-container "> </span><span class="related-double-module-container "> </span></span><span class="content-subtitle-simple "> <h2 class="subtitle">The role of the captain</h2></span><p data-gtm-element-container="modulo-texto-link" class="paragraph">"Although I managed to do it in the second year with Paula, now I have to do more because of the age difference.
