His real name is Luis, he is 63 years old and he lives in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
He has been married for 37 years and he has two sons of 33 and 30 years.
His studies are based on Mineralogy, since he is a Technical Expert in Mining and Petroleum, then he followed Geology, studies that he could never finish, since he stayed halfway through.
He has been working for 40 years in the same place, in one of the Atomic centers of Argentina, the CNEA (National Commission of Atomic Energy), is a government agency of the Argentine State in charge of research and development of nuclear energy. Its work was initially related to the fiscal/chemical treatment of different minerals, among them Uranium, then from 1996 to the present time it is linked to computer science and communications.
He loves the roast (asado), football, swimming, card games and sport fishing.
Talking about Hattrick: One day in a sports newspaper, in 2003, they were promoting Hattrick, it took 1 month to give him the team and finally in October 2003 he got a team, his beloved Karapa F.C, who played the final of the Argentinean Cup, but lost it!
He loves hattrick and everything that happens in the beautiful green world, he enters every day, several times, since 2013 he is GM, in 2016 he was offered to be a Yuppie (The Yuppies are a group of GMs in charge of dealing with overvalued transfers on a global level). He now fulfills that function.
Another game he is involved in is Pmanager, which is another soccer manager.
He likes football a lot, because of his great physique he was a powerful striker and goal scorer, with time and age he was delaying positions in the field, passing through the midfield, the defense as No. 2, from there he went on to play as a goalkeeper and finally behind the goal as a waterboy ;-).
He played until he was 50 years old, then his physical condition made it impossible for him to play football, he tells us that he would like to keep playing if he could.
Interview with GM-Luy (Done by Franfer)

It is the 1st team I interview a Yuppie: (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuppie) I've Heard about them but never in Hattrick context, where they work mainly regulating overvalorated sales at world wide level. Powerful as ability, has a minimum of supernatural experience. At his beginnings he was a forward, although with the years passing he has pulled back its field position.
As a Good argentinian, he likes football and barbecue. Today you are gonna know him better. Let's begin!

1.Your biography has made me remember for a while Homer Simpson and the famous Mr Burns nuclear central. I understand it isn't that way, but do you know any work-mate who manipulates the machine at any old way?? Is Argentina in dangerous?
I have colleagues that work inside the reactor and in the command console, but I know very well that it had never occurred any incident or something similar, for those who don't understand of the topic, work there requires lot of responsibility and capacity, added to the technology and security controls, the incident's percentage is very low.
2.Did you grow with Mineranova? He's mineralogist as vocation or it was fate? Did you have to adapt along the time to the new work necessities?
Since I was a tiny boy I became interested in stones, their colours, shapes, as I always questioned me what is inside the Earth. Older enough, I say to myself: I'd like to be geologist, as they study the Earth's structure and how is it formed, the origin, the beginning and its history. They study rocks, soil, fossils, mountains, earthquakes and more, going out for discover new emplacements... this all made me following the degree, a degree I couldn't finish.
3.Have you faced at some occasion any case of criminal organization which pretends to steal the uranium you have?
Haven't. Never had any incident with the Uranium, as far as I know (I've been working on it for 40 years), never nobody wanted to steal it, it would be unlikely to happen and impossible pretend to do it, due to existence of the security and the control, moreover somebody can imagine a normal person trying to steal it, for why? Who is gonna sell it to? What is he going to do with a radioactive source? It only happens at films! In the real life it would be something impossible, or did you heard any time about a similar robbery?
I take profit for explain you, for those who don't know and relates Uranium with Chernobyl, Fukushima and any other of the nuclear centrals, that it is used to in investigation reactors and in reactors where radioisotopes are produced which afterwards are used in medicine, agriculture and industry.
4.Stop talking about this topic. Let's pass into Hattrick. As a GM in charge of overvalorated transferences, tell some funny anecdote.
You can't imagine the quantity of overvalorated transferences that are day after day in the transfer market, all adjusted to the updated market prices, in all you have to take into account: player's age, nationality, abilities, speciality, potential, HL, XP, etc... Of course, for the user, it isn't funny to receive a message where the GM says: transference adjustment and it's told about the reduction of the sell's value of a determined player as the sell was overpriced. As an answer to our messages we receive uncountable excuses, i.e: if I sell initially him by 1000 €€!!! I don't have the responsibility if 2 users fight between them (the player was sold by 10M, when its value was of 100k). Another who said: how are you going to take out all this money, I've had this player since youth, I trained him, I have devotion, the value isn't for his abilities, it has a sentimental component!! Another: what happens is that my friend wanted to help me and pay a bit more for that player (when the TSI was 10, his market value 10k and it was sold for 500k!). There are lots of anecdotes and excuses, impossible to tell all of them. The funniest was the one who is told to be discounted 100k € from his economy for the overvalorated sell and as an answer he says that we are crazy, it was a swindle, he wanted to go to a lawyer, that him never will pay that money, that he believed Hattrick was for free (he thought he had to pay with real money).
But I have to highlight that the users are always very respectful and finally recognise their errors, and I say that if the adjustment error is committed by us, we don't have any problem in recognize it and fix it.
5.People says you lose a national Cup's final. I don't know if you were GM at that point, but why don't use the secial keyboard they give you for belonging to the Staff... One occasion for me here, one event to me there, an opposite's player sent off, an injury for a opposite's player ...
No, in that time I wasn't a GM, I would like being it. If I would have been in that moment,I would have thought about using tool GM's keyboard, surely I would have used the special events button or the injuries one, and why not to sent off some opposite's player!! And why not using the red button which makes one of the teams win. That's what I thought before become a GM, as many of you, because I wasn't one of them.
But derive all mites it doesn't exist any special keyboard for GM's, nothing of this exists my keyboard is the same that any user. I profit to tell and anecdote of my 1st day as a GM, this da my colleagues made me believe that within the next few days I was going to receive by mail the GM's keyboard, the one with the buttons, I was very happy, waiting every day for my gift, but it didn't arrive, I asked my mates and they said it was about to arrive, in fact one of them told me the keyboard arrives to me with the new controls' version, and I was sad because I didn't have my GM's keyboard, till one day by HT-mail I receive I mail with the title GM keyboard, imagine my happiness when I read the message's title, I imagined they were communicating me my keyboard was on route, that soon I would receive it, finally I would get all the Gm's powers, but nothing of these was gonna happen, there only was a link with a buttoned keyboard's image and the name of each function, handwritten. It was a joke from my Gm's colleagues. I never asked again for the keyboard.
So guys, the keyboard don't exist, as a GM we don't have any advantage respect another user!!
6.In the same way, people says lately you win less HT games that Real Madrid at Bernabéu... What are your mid-terms goals with your first team?
I know I'm a GM, my function is another, but nothing prevents me from keep playing with my team with the same desire, I never lost it and won't lose it, when I competed 100% I arrived till 3rd division. Later, when becoming a GM, I left my team a bit, sold all my team and I bought youth players to train. I descend till VI, I only trained, didn't compete, truly it was harmful to lose all Sundays, I told the others that I don't mind, but inside me I suffered, after 3-4 real years, I sold these trained players and I bought the new ones, returned to V, my aim is continue training and ascending, step by step and slowly, with a good economy, that under my point of view is essential for any team, a good economy is the fact that will make us arrive very high.
7. I know you are River fan, as it has to be. To be Boca's fan is for show?
I'm River fan and surely what I think about Boca is the same a Boca's would think about my beloved River.
I support it from long time, when I was younger I was member, I went every Sunday to the stadium to see them, but with the years and other obligations I left going, although I suffer every weekend we play. I think belong to Boca is the same that River, it is lived with the same passion, if Boca wouldn't exist, River fans wouldn't have anybody to bother ;-) jajajaj surely after reading these last lines, many Boca's fan will fuck me. Seriously talking, I believe both River and Boca needs each other, as with the desire to surpass the other, every one try to have thee best team, i.e lately River is better than Boca, in team's quality, playmaking, titles, luck, etc... Boca tries to reduce the different between both, constructing a good time, it's enough to see the quantity of new players and the money they spent last season, but they didn't reach, River again won them in Libertadores' Cup. For this year Libertadores, Boca change the board and the coach, with a beat of luck one of this will be okay ;-)
8. Talk about you environment. Also about what you use to do in a normal day when you wake up and leave the bed.
A normal day I wake up at 8 am, I take a shower, I breakfast, I go to my work (15 minutes away by car), after I eat, at the evening around 7 pm I come back to my home, 2 times per week I go swimming, another 2 times I go to Barrial club, where I meet friends, some times we dinner, play different cards' games, like "truco", poker, "mus", "cabrero", etc... and "escoba de 15" !!! Other times I go out for a dinner with my wife, some times my sons come to home or I go to their ones, I also every day, at different hours and times, I work on my GM's and team's labours.
9.I'm a big fan of Argentinian's gastronomy. Pablito has finally passed his driver's license examination. Let's prepare him a good menu ...
This barbecue is on its way!!

This is the last one we organise with HT mates in November 2019, normally we always make these meetings, lately a bit separated in time, but 10 years ago it was once per month, we met to eat a delicious barbecue, a good football match, included trick, and we arrive to be more than 100 in a meeting.

10.Finally, what has hattrick apported to your life?
Surely if you didn't notice, Hattrick changed my life since the 1st day I knew it, I had so many memories, anecdotes, known people, new friends, I couldn't name any one so I would forget somebody and I wouldn't like doing it, inclusive my wife had an HT team. She met many people, he came to meetings, he met other HT user's wives, she organised me a surprise party for my 50 years with all my Hattrick friends. Truly know about Hattrick was something fabulous, from that day, as I said previously, it changed my life, at cybernetic level and at real life's one.
Hattrick bring me so much that now I think green blood run through my veins!!
