1.Is a pleasure to have you here with us. Talk about your experience as a football player. Is it true that your mates avoid passing you the ball due to the fear that the opponents give up at the beginning for your shotting effectiveness?
I see this legend will be running after me, but it has always been told upside down. I was the best when a forward came towards me xD Not, a bit more serious... I've always played as a central defender and obviously I haven't been a scorer, but during 2-3 continuous seasons I was about 10 goals per season. The corner+header event was my speciality.
2.What moment do you decide to leave the football in? I've known it was at 18 but... Did any important reason exist?
It was a reason and wasn't a myself choice. Although my youth and my newness typical of a 18 years old boy, I had lumbar problems which went worse in a match when I finished injured without be able to move. I couldn't recover at 100% and after several relapses in the same season I had to leave. Luckily and after lots of home-made abs throughout the lats years, the problem has been totally solved and now I can practise sport at 100%.
3.Let's talk a bit about Hattrick. You are a veteran. What has your higher achievement been? Surely there is some special victory had made you tremble.
It would be difficult to say only one victory as there are several specials. If I'm allowed, I'll remain in a special season, the 48th, played in 2015-16. In that season I beat my record arriving to 9th round. These rounds made me to affront a season in IV division that I finished with 39 points, only one defeat, climbing for 1st time to III. After 2 seasons I lost the promotion to ascend to II division, so I compete several seasons in III.
4.Why Pablito call you "Rojillo el de las Ejeas?
Jajajajaja. The true is I'm surprised Pablo remember that, it's been a long time since it. It was a time with a lot of activity in the forum and I've always tried to be a visible face there, giving my opinion and helping new users. But there was a thing that annoyed me a lot and were the moanings in the questions forum. We all agree HT works with probabilities and from there you can extract thousands of theories about the game. The problem in that era was that any match lost with 51% likelihood to find, it was labelled as EJEA, so I grew in HT using that word when a team was INFINITELY better than the other and it didn't win. As I said, at that period every saturday there were lots of threads dedicated to this topic and I always try to remember to the users the real meaning of the word EJEA, Pablo included :P I didn't touched deeply people since I see this word is still used, but now I preferr to move in the threads to answer questions trying to avoid arguments about the game's engine.
5.The forum is a meeting point, a fundamental part of Hattrick. What have your experience been till now? Is it true that you expect doing SPAM as Pablito?
I respect a lot what Pablo has done. Connecting people in that way through a game is something very valuable and it is obvious lot of time and spam has been applied :P As you well say, the forum is where you can have a few contact with other users so as to not feeling as a single player sending the line-ups for saturday and nothing more. I've spent very good times in HT federations playing games, bets, pools... Sadly now I have less free time and I spent it answering questions and sounding out the market, so I'm a bit disappeared in the federations, but I don't doubt I will be back and LTP will be the 1st one.
6.If we go back to your beginning in Hattrick, why did you reject being more a model user?
I began with my 1st team in 2005, with 12 years, when you made several teams with some friends, buy/sell between them and make rich one of these teams. Finally, obviously, someone confiscate your teams and from 0 again. I didn't reject being a model user, I just did things a 12 years old kid do as he thinks he will always have the reason. I'm sure most of people here passed throught the same, especially if they began at early age. From 2007 HT maturity came and I began to play as a model user.
7.What about your confinement routine? Tell us if it has been difficult to stay at home without going out...
The most difficult with no doubt have been to not see the people you love and are used to see daily. The routine has been doing telework + Hattrick at mornings. At the afternoons the things I suppose most people have done, a bit of exercise and Netflix. Now we have entered to phase 1 and this routine is being broken, at first you like it, but finally you become tired about not doing nothing.
8.If I'm allowed, what is your ideology or political conviction? Is it true that the last time you gave your opinion in public a peaceable uprising came and the city hall of your town was invaded?
After that invasion, as you understand, I'd rather to not manifest my ideologies again, as my mates still remember me that at work nowadays.
Speaking seriously... I won't say which political party wins my vote, but I can say almost anyone convince me. I've finished too burnt out with this topic living in Catalonia, so political stuff don't mind me now.
9.In the Tavern there is a music thread for all the lovers. Write down a little list of no more than 5 songs that define you.
The man who sold the world - Nirvana. Is the song I've heard more times thanks to my father, so I had it fixed in my mind for always.
David Civera - Que la detengan. Truly I don't hear it since long time ago and I don't think it's a great song, but it is a memory from when I was a child at my town parties. I learnt the choreography and I pleased xD
Ludovico Enaudi. Any song of this great pianist when you want to relax or just keep your mind off for a couple of minutes.
Boig per tu - Sau. 1st love isn't forget and less if you danced this song.
J Balvin - Verde. That remembers me I feel like coming back to normal and go to a discotheque again, as I'm single and this confinement has been too long alone.
10.Finally, what has Hattrick bring to your life for declaring you would be here till your last days?
It's true you don't know what can happen tomorrow and no one knows when I'll leave Hattrick, but I can claim that if I leave it will be because I have no choice and something prevent me having time to play it. The truth, as I said before, I've been here since 2005, 15 real years in this world and it is a part of me. Is a nice routine which I've dedicated lot of time during the years and I don't see the day which I won't feel like playing it for hours, so... long life to HT!
