Well, I met Gaucelm here in the green meadows. I was always struck by the care he dealt all thing related to culture (musical or literary).Also from football, by contextualizing all phenomena of the time. In fact, he has a blog that I recommend you to follow: https://elfutboltienemusica.wordpress.com/author/gaucelm/

On the other hand, he is a prankster guy, close, accessible, unprejudiced and always willing to talk about whatever subject it is, especially if it's rock 'n' roll, narrative, the series that's fashionable that then turns out to be a disaster or that classic movie that you can´t lose and he has watched a hundred times.
I'd be here for a while about all the good things that Gaucelm's nick gives off, but we have to get started! ^^

I come from a working-class family with few resources, so every time I wanted to expand my studies to reinforce the basis of my diploma I was forced to travel to the city where I was taught the graduate course that I was interested in and study in the morning or afternoon , and work in what i could to afford accommodation and studios. Other times I'd run out of my employment contract and look elsewhere. And sometime sinking in a woman's footsteps. That led me to tour many places in Spain...

I must say that I felt a little, as I let the interviewee know after receiving the answers by htmail, like Pablo Motos the other day with Santiago Abascal: in a way, overwhelmed. And it is that the ingenuity with which my questions count or not has been immediately overwhelmed by a current of reality, always from a wise sense of humor, which deserves to be applauded. In short, even if he does not intend to do so, he bears witness to having followed a path not without difficulties that well deserves recognition.

1. In the previous interview, he describes how he started in the media through a higher degree. Then he did military service. Wouldn't you have been a good war correspondent? Note: I have modified the question later to make it easier for the reader to understand.

(Laughs) I think running around while a hail of bullets falls over my head, armed only with an artichoke and a helmet with the badly written Press word with insulating tape on the front wouldn't be my thing. Rather my role would be that of the poor man behind the camera as an operator enduring the same hail and risking being made a perfect.
I was always very struck by the audiovisual world, at the time the closest thing to being a camera operator or working as a technician in assembly and editing was to make a higher degree module in Media Language (there was so much demand that they asked high ratings to enter). I finished my studies and achieved various internships in local media and at the Atlas news agency (belonging to the Mediaset group). That wasn't going to feed me, so I folded cable and ended up continuing with other studies, in this case college, with a diploma in Social Work.
I made the military service for assholes. The fact is that the repeal of compulsory military service was very close. I had exhausted the overtime for studies and caught me in the impasse between stduies. I appealed in the hope of getting rid of myself, but a brother of mine had escaped by means of overbooking and I had to comply with the homeland. I didn't have a bad military service, but I admit it was nine months of total and utter waste of time.

2. Whom or what do you remember from that higher-grade training cycle? Isn't it true that you shared a classroom with some of today's media professionals?

From the training cycle I have very good memories (the student years are always the best). I didn't know anyone remarkable in my training period, but I did know in my journey of temporary contracts on local televisions and radios.
The most noteworthy and the one that many people will know, is Iñaki López (host of LaSexta Noche), with him I met on a local TV show in a program that he presented "Radio a la vista", totally far from what he does today. With a hooved, corrosive mood that shocks me a lot now, I'm seeing him with that serious, equidistant journalist. I also worked with Patxi Alonso, Antxón Urrusolo, Txetxu Ugalde, La Otxoa, etc.
For those humble sets of local television spent a lot of interviewees and guests with whom I had the pleasure of chatting from time to time. The same thing you crossed the halls with porn actress Dunia Montenegro, as with the boys of the band El Mentón de Fogarty or the actor Karra Elejalde.

3. Something tells me that it is not a good idea for Pablito to know that you did the Diploma of Social Work. By the way, much of the geography has been traveled, what made you take another path, perhaps, in search of happiness incompatible with that service you provided?

I don't know if it will be a good idea or not for Don Pablo to know, but I think the studies he's doing right now with what I did in his day probably won't have anything to do despite sharing nomenclature. Times change and the needs of society with them. I'm sure he has a consignment of new-generation teachers with new ideas, mine, although well-intentioned, had stayed in a system that had failed miserably ten years ago and from there did not get them out. Luckily, or unfortunately, I wanted to train.I come from a working-class family with few resources, so every time I wanted to expand my studies to reinforce the basis of my diploma I was forced to travel to the city where I was taught the graduate course that I was interested in and study in the morning or afternoon , and work in what i could to afford accommodation and studios. Other times I'd run out of my employment contract and look elsewhere. And sometime sinking in a woman's footsteps. That led me to tour many places in Spain…

4. Currently, and for almost a decade, you has been involved in the transfer of sick people by ambulance as a technician in health emergencies. Is it true that, while behind the wheel, he wears a leather jacket along all the service?

Of course, I add a sunglasses and a molded toupee with two hands of grease and alternate songs of Grease, Loquillo and The Baseballs. People don't say no, but they look at me wrong, who's that ambulance guy you're going with... Xd

5. As if that were not enough, I know that you participate as an assistant coach in your city club, in addition to helping in base football. Is it true that, when you want to give an instruction, use words like MOTS, PIC, All Attack or has this been an EJEA?

This is something that came to me indirectly. I had participated many years in football training, but I quit. The atmosphere, especially between parents, had become unbreathable and after a match which ended up with a quarrel between adults with children as terrible spectators I decided to hang the whistle, cap and coach folder.

Last year they contacted me to lend a hand at the club in my neighborhood. I've always liked that atmosphere, not because I'm a sick fan of football, but because of what moves a working-class neighborhood club on a social level. So I said yes, with the idea of bringing boys and girls in child category. When I got there, it turned out that the plans had changed and I ended up as second coach of the First Regional team. This season I have also added to my work with the elderly, training tasks with children aged 11 and 12 years. I spend more time at training courts than at home, so at any time I make a training plan for kids to give them playmaking and passing while I try to find out if any have a specialty while playing creatively. Xd

6. Finally, you provide services to a publisher regarding historical correction and setting. What happened to that famous schism between Juan Eslava Galán and you in terms of defining a context relating to the Golden Age?

(Laughs) Nothing we can't arrange like perfect gentlemen, with two godparents, two spark guns with the spark guns seized at dawn after the wall of the Carmelite convent and a doctor just in case...
In this world I entered because I helped a couple of friends by solving historical doubts about the Spanish Golden Age or World War II (two historical periods that I am passionate about). Gradually I got small commissions and ended up entering the work team of a small publishing house, making correction of texts especially when they have a basis or historical setting in the aforementioned periods.

7. As an experienced writer, why have you never participated in any of the contests held in Hattrick? Recognize it yourself, you wanted to give the rest a chance.

The adjective used is a little grandiloquent. In my background as a so-so writer, I have some prizes, especially in short stories, but I have some prizes, especially in short story, but I have won nothing beyond a collection of books, two or three promotional novels and the satisfaction of seeing something of yours published in a compilation of texts. Once, I won 300 euros for a second prize and I invested it in a good dinner in an expensive place with my partner. ;-)
If I don't participate, it's for lack of time, and when I want to write something for the Honourable Contest of La Taberna de Pablito the muses should have been on a bachelorette party the night before and they show in a very pathetic state.

8. Regarding to music, do you still participate with your guitar in charity events in favour of separating the rooster from the hen?

Of course, my annual intervention in the "With stumps and crazy" contest is well known at the festival "One-armed Without Borders" and especially in the music-vocal ensemble "The sonotone for when" Xd
I'm a self-taught guitarist and hard of hearing. I was part of a band with some friends, I got lessons and I ended up playing bass. I was told to try four strings, which with six made it very difficult for me. Xd
Once a year we get back together, we play our songs in a rented place having our families as audience. We have a good time and then we prepare a great meal where we tell ourselves how life is going, we catch up on our ailments and we fix the world.

9. I cannot finish this interview without talking about film or literature. Where does your passion come from? Make some sort of small list of fundamental titles if deemed appropriate.

It may sound very typical, but my passion for reading is born from meeting a literature teacher who always did a day of reading out aloud. Admittedly, man was an excellent speaking person and always picked out books that could hook us. That's how I was curious and started reading and discovering books on my own. It's normal to get it right and wrong a lot, but I've never left a book, no matter how bad it was, unfinished. Finding someone who likes to read and read a lot, is a treasure, because he can always recommend the perfect book. For every good book I've read, I can say I've swallowed five or six fat bricks. Xd
It's hard to recommend a book without knowing the reader. Many times I see the news tables with books and I think: "Uhmmm... Interesting, this one would like such. Or this black novel is the one that this other person reads." I think of the people close to me who read and think about them and if they adapt the books to their tastes. I usually get it right most of the time.
What I can do is talk about my favorite books, which may or may not be good, but when I read them they left me an enduring pose. Like the songs, you remember when you listened to them and why they marked you in that instant. I leave many but I would emphasize above all: The name of the rose, Love in the times of cholera, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Pillars of the Earth, The Hobbit, The Power of the Dog , History of Martha and Fernando, Love in four letters, The Dumas club, The Count of Montecristo, Les misérables... Stop, I'm getting too excited. Xd
With cinema it happens to me the same, it is very difficult for me to recommend a movie to someone. But if you're a real keen on films you should start with classic cinema. When you start watching old, black-and-white cinema, you realize that in modern cinema, with no exceptions, everything is written and the schemes and clichés are repeated over and over again. One of my favorite films is "Arsenic and Old Lace" a delicious comedy by Cary Grant directed by Capra. But I'm happy watching any Paul Newman movie, watching for the umpteenth time"Groundhog day" or getting down on my knees to see the Monty Python in "The Life of Brian". Billy Wilder is CINEMA with capital letters, even his bad films are good and clear, Alfred Hitchcock, of course. Of the modern directors I would highlight Nolan and Tarantino, especially for their ability to create new stories and their knowledge of the times in cinema, which is masterful.

10. Talking about Hattrick, however, tell us about the current youth-based project it is carrying out.
The romantic inside me knocked on the door, and after a hesitant start I decided on something on a difficult level. Create a team entirely of youth players, which only will be composed by youth player pulled from the youth team. Develop the project and see how far we are able to go. At the moment I'm halfway there, and I'm out there at crazy trying to square the circle to combine defense and goalkeeping.

11. On the other hand, how did you find the web?
Well, I knew the game many years ago, when you have to apply and afer you had to wait months for the team to be given. The rage was short-lived then. Three years ago, just now in September, I wanted a football manager and after a google search and three or four clicks I took my first steps seriously in the green world.

12. Finally, what does Hattrick bring to someone like you? 

It may seem like the biggest nonsense in the world, but it relaxes me. Yes. The slow pace of the game, the development always long term makes me like to be around, reading forums, in the fedes, exchanging stories with people that I have been getting to know for the green world. Hold on to the learning curve of this game that never ceases. But in the end, what makes the game great is not winning or losing, training, marketing... It's big because the people who swarm for it, are awesome people.

Thank you so much for your patience and your time, master. It's always the same with me, when I talk about things that I'm passionate about engorilo and I messed myself very much. Xd
A hug made in Bilbao. ;-)

Thanks to you, Gau!
