Captain Luke Donald is understood to have called in the World No 1 tennis player to address his team in Rome ahead of the clash with the USA.<\/p>\n<p>Djokovic is a keen golfer and will be at Marco Simone Country Club on Wednesday to take part in the celebrity All-Star Ryder Cup match. The Serb will follow the likes of Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul O\u2019Connell who helped to inspire past European triumphs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s certain things we will be doing this week just to make sure we are working on being a team,\u201d said Donald. \u201cI don\u2019t think you necessarily need large voices within the team room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just need pretty good clarity on why you\u2019re here, what the reason is and how you\u2019re going to accomplish your goal. You know, these guys are very motivated, and then they seem very unified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>LIV Golf faces legal action from Adidas as bitter feud continues[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/71\/590x\/secondary\/4980242.jpg?r=1695765780339\"><\/p>\n<p>Team Europe are not simply relying on Djokovic to motivate them though as Jon Rahm has revealed that the team have watched inspirational videos together to spur them on, with messages from family and friends included in clips. He explained: \u201cI don\u2019t know how much of that they\u2019re going to post, so that\u2019s kind of personal for us. You\u2019ve got, I think, very few people in those [team] rooms \u2013 because we have some individual videos and some collective videos. There\u2019s very few players not shedding a few tears yesterday afternoon. I can say that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a lot of family-related and the reason why all of us are here. I don\u2019t want to say too much more than that. But I think even for people that are related, it\u2019s going to definitely \u2013 if you guys were to watch it, it would make you feel a lot of the same emotions we felt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you&#8217;ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

Former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale and Ukraine hero Andriy Shevchenko are also set to compete, as well as Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz.<\/p>\n<p>US Open winner Djokovic will be representing \u2018Team Monty\u2019 (Montgomerie) and has his sights set on making an impact for his side. He explained: \u201cI can\u2019t wait to tee it up in Rome and experience the incredible atmosphere of a Ryder Cup, which has become legendary. The course looks like a fantastic test of golf and my playing partner Kipp, a seasoned pro, has won a lot on the G4D Tour recently so I\u2019m confident we can get a point for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/golf\/1817143\/Ryder-Cup-Novak-Djokovic-Team-Europe-Luke-Donald\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>McIlroy and Team Europe practice ahead of Ryder Cup Europe are set to play their Ryder Cup joker tomorrow &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
