The Spanish Tennis player Carlos Alcarz attracted a Brazilian Football legend by showing his football skills while playing for the iconic Argentinian team Boca Juniors. Alcaraz played the yearly Players vs Coaches match at the Huan Carlos Ferrero Academy. Many fans were impressed with Alcaraz's football skills which he kept in hiding for all these years. One big name in football was also impressed with the Spaniard and it was none other than Neymar Junior.
Carlos Alcaraz shows new talent
The Brazilian Football legend was among the first to comment on his Instagram post by saying “Calidad” which translates to “quality” which is a clear approval from the football legend himself. The 21-year-old tennis player was seen as one of the rare talents in sports like Rafael Nadal.
Many even call him the mix of the Big Three (Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic). Apart from playing Tennis, Alcaraz also likes Football very much. Carlos won the Wimbledon tournament by defeating Novak Djokovic the same day, Spain won against England in the Euro Cup finals. The Spaniard won his match hours before the start of the Football match. After winning the game he was invited to a dinner party in London along with all the other winners and players who played the tournament.

But Carlos was sitting inside his car with his smartphone watching the football finals and left the car only when Spain was declared the winner. Talking about the incident Alcaraz said “It started on the phone. Then it switched to the TV at home and them coming on the iPad, so it was kind of mixed.
Just before getting out of the car, I saw the winning goal so I thought it was offside. I couldn't get out of the car until I made sure it was a goal. So, it was a few minutes when the nerves were so high. I know a few of them and I tried to give them all my strength to try to do a good match.”
