He tells us that if Augusto Ibañez Sacristán were still playing, the basque pelota would remain as his favourite sport.
However, in the medium term he intends to compete in Spain and as his glory days are a thing of the past, he has assembled a rather cool group of players in his second team to go sofaring.
Interview with pipinata (Done by Franfer)
Hello!
Given the name of the team of our interviewee BLACK HOLE I thought it would not be bad to start with the music of Hans Zimmer:

What to say about Pipinata, because I really liked the document, especially when he talks about that Cup of Spain with which he stood, doing a little history. (These were prosperous times for Hattrick, achieving the number of one million users)
otherwise, VERY nice in the deal. It's not that the rest is not, but there was connection ^^
I recommend the total reading of the interview, supemena.
Without further ado ... Let's start!
1. Well, I can't receive you other than asking you this question: why Black Hole, or Agujero Negro if we translate it into Spanish?
Actually, the team was initially called "What do we win" (if I remember correctly) for reasons in which it is better not to enter at this point. After some season, when I saw that I was going to continue playing Hattrick I changed it to BlackHole. I had always been attracted to cosmology since I was a child and it was a name I had already used for some other Internet issue (the typical first email with a shameful name, for example), so I suppose it seemed like a good option.
2. In relation to the above, do you believe in wormholes? Is it not true that, in fact, you come from another dimension, having traveled in space-time?
It is true that I come from another dimension and that I have traveled from the future. The bad thing is that I never remember the lottery numbers I saw in his day, so I'm still a poor idiot. As for wormholes, they are more fashionable than ever.
3. Do you think that Pablo will be the first man capable of sending an htmail, or a newsletter, to a place in another dimension, getting what neither NASA does?
I have no doubt. In fact, I wonder if all this that has happened on account of having a new team has not had something to do with all this you comment …
4. It would be of interest to know the project you have undertaken with the first team. Let me tell you that if it is as successful as the team in Bolivia, I could once again get a great achievement in Spain too.
The idea is that the first team project be more successful than that of Bolvia; Hopefully it will be a lot. I have always been a bit lazy to compete at the club level because what I liked the most has always been to train young players and / or academy players. On the other hand, I have followed different projects of different people from Hattrick in which I have seen a common factor: when you get up, if you do not have money there is always some other bastard in Spain that has it and fucks you.
That's why I spent a few seasons making money, waiting for a group of good-looking youths to come out with whom to start a long-term project.
The problem is that until a few seasons ago my quarry had always been a plumbing club and other necessities, so I never had 2-3 players valid enough. It was to go to Ceuta and Melilla and start to appear better and better youth players, so a few seasons ago I joined 3 with more than 2000 potential and more or less appropriate specialties and decided to start a project with them as a base.
I have enough money in coaches and retained by the board, so my idea is to go up and try to reach first with a relatively young block (28 would be ideal, although in Spain it is very difficult). Money should be available, but I have always suspected that when the time came to use the coaches' money the HT would change the matter and fuck me. We will see.
5. Speaking of titles, in the previous interview I let him know what he knew of that Cup of Spain with which he won. What do you remember from that time? Attending to the engine, is it true that it failed less than today?
I remember it was the team with the most mythical players I've had (for me, obviously). Patxi Freixes, Selmo Gimeno, Manuel Alas ...
I also remember that he arrived just at a time when I was starting to get a little tired of Hattrick. He had been training plays for a long time and had a good base and a team to climb to III or something more (perhaps fighting the ascent to second, little else). As I won easily in the fourth, I could play PICs without problems, so I went through rounds, partly because my rivals knew I could play PINs without problems. In addition, at that time more games were played at home than now.
The moment of certain disgust coincided with the fact that I was going to live in Italy the following year (blessed Erasmus) so it was the ideal time to burn the ships. To the relatively good team that I had I was adding signings of gleaming as the rounds progressed (the typical burdensome monoskills of the time), and with the help of a manager called LICHIS (namely where he is now) I planted in the final.
I would say that the semifinals was the most complicated game to raise and the one that I had nothing clear was favorite. In the final I faced a team that had arrived in circumstances similar to mine. However, he was a little shorter in level. That, together that I read the game well (the opponent went exactly as expected, although now I have no idea how it was) made me win.
From this cup I also remember two nice facts: From the eighth / quarter I watched the cup matches with a Frankiscaner in my hand for some kind of stupid superstition. At that time I did not know that intensity could be lowered, so I think the only MOTS in the cup was the one in the final.
As for the other part of the question, I have always tended to think that Hattrick users, like all people in general, tend to overestimate the bad results, so we always give more importance to when they are badly given. In general I would say that the engine is more or less "good", although, in my opinion, the variance of the results is somewhat high.
Anyway, this may not be the case either, based on what Tasos has commented lately.
6. You are here since 2003. Tell us a little about how it has changed since then until today. I imagine that sixteen years go a long way. (The interviewer has less hair and more problems)
I am lucky that my hair is not missing, something that positively differentiates me from many contemporary friends. For the rest, I am still quite stubborn and joking, although obviously the responsibilities remain different. Not being married or having offspring makes the jump not as different as in the case of other users who started in Hattrick to see that I and now have one or more hijos.
7. Also, in the previous interview, you told us that for work reasons you currently live in the USA. Is it true that the phrase you hear the most at all times is "that it looks like an accident"?
"Make it look like an accident" and "do you have some change"; both.
8. As for music, I must confess that something similar to what I explained in a first contact has happened to me: I have become less demanding, despite the fact that in my beginnings I had La Onda Vaselina cassettes as my most precious asset . What rock groups are your favorites?
If I have to talk about rock and favorites, I guess the top 3 would be: Extremoduro, Marea and Platero y tu. I like listening to music, but I'm a thousand miles from being a music lover.
9. Regarding the sport, have you had the opportunity to watch an NBA match on the spot? On the other hand, tell us, if you deem appropriate, about the Pelota Basque. (Something tells me that he feels admiration for one of those magicians)
Last year I could see the Knicks against Orlando ( a lot of boredom of match and teams) and Nets against Toronto (after champions) and against the Bucks. Maybe I saw someone else who doesn't remember now ...
The ball has been the sport that I liked most to see since I was a kid until 2014, the year in which the great Augusto Ibañez Sacristan (Titin III) retired. It has always seemed to me a very noble sport where players rarely had double intentions or did the typical pilgrims that are seen so much in other places.
The moments that I have enjoyed most with the sport may have been when Titin won the txapela in 2007 and 2012 and the World Cup that won the National Combined in 2010.
10. Finally, what does Hattrick continue to contribute to staying here for so long?
The good thing about Hattrick is that you can play in many different ways. At the beginning I enjoyed 2-4 years because I shared the game with two of my best friends. After winning the Cup, I spent several real years (I don't remember how many) paying very little attention to the game, but maintaining it. After that, I wanted to make some money, but the marketing bored me and I ended up signing two young central cracks that ended up being cracks (one made us bring a bronze at the World Cup with Frustat ).
In the process of their training they tricked me into collaborating in the world of selections, which made me take up the game quite a bit. I've been to quite a few staffs in Bolivia and Spain, U20 and ABS, doing practically everything. I have also brought homegirls to the U20 and the ABS, another factor in the game that wanted to "pass me".
Right now the part of the game that attracts me the most is the world of selections, due to the fact that it is something totally collaborative. Anyway, it also bitten me at the main club level, so with my second team I have set up a good project that I hope will serve to deoxidize me and to fight with the Spanish team in the future.
I do not know ... I suppose that in each era I have focused on something different and that has made me have maintained the desire to continue playing. In addition, the forums amuse me a lot and I also have a great time in different groups of wasabi in which I am.
Finally, thank you very much Franfer for the interview. It is appreciated that you work hard and that the questions are thought and personalized. And to all: sorry for having released answers XD
Thank you very much, mate. It has been fantastic to have the opportunity to read you and exchange a while with you ^^
Now we go with ... Platero and you!
Happy Monday, happy week!
