We interview pablo1995, or Pablito as he is known in his “Tavern”; owner and creator of the Federation with the most Hattrick members (over 1,100) and a uncountable of aditional activities on Hattrick.
To fast introducethe subject; How did you know HT, what made you hook into this game?; and what do you do in your free time… if you have any…
I was in third grade at ESO. I was 13 years old and a classmate showed it to me who knew it because his brother’s College classmates showed to him. We, my friend and I, start playing with new teams! We shared computers, made transfers, and managed both equipment in common…
We didn’t know that it was illegal. Anyway, I remember that on January 6th, 2010, after arrive from my grandfather’s house to collect the Three Wise Men gifts, the two teams were closed. My partner never returned to the game but I returned on March 29th, 2010 with a team that I maintained until the end of July 2019. Well, I have always been bad Hattrick player in the sports field. I reached the III division in Spain and II in Andorra. I was really near to promote to the Spain´s second divisionbut I lost the promotion match. That is my greatest sporting achievement so far.
What most traped my attention were the forums. From a very young age I started surf them. I remember that in the Extremadura forum the user Barroso2, who was at that time, Spain DT invited me to the Extremadura Hattrick federation (we ussed to had an external page) and there I began to organizing games for collaborate. We made meetings in Cáceres (my city) and I even met Barroso in person on a visit he made to my town. Unfortunately, that federation was closed but most of the games that we made there were recovered for La Taberna, for a wider audience.
My name is Pablo. I am 24 years old and I live in Arroyo de la Luz (Cáceres). I studied the formative cycle of Social Integration and did the corresponding practices in COCEMFE, an association of people with physical and organic disabilities. Actualy I am studying Social Education at the UNEX in Cáceres. I have finished the first year with very good califications, and will promoted to second on next. I validate 5 subjects in the cycle because of the social integration course I took and two aditional subjects in the second year, so I choose two third-grade subjects to enrolled.
I am a happy person and a little bit restless. My great passion is soccer. I don’t practice it but I watch it. I love to analyze the games. I’m a fanatic of Real Madrid. I’ve cried and enjoyed all Real Madrid matches since I was a child. What I like the most about the club is its spirit of constant struggle, that is, the fact of fighting to the end no matter how bad things get, and that is my philosophy. Until the referee whistles the end of the game, as long as there is some time left, whether it’s a minute, a few seconds, there is always hope. Until the 93rd minute, like that moment when Sergio Ramos jumped into the sky of Lisbon to raise a Champions League that was lost.
I consider myself somewhat absent-mindedbut with a good heart. I love helping others by giving everything and also transmitting joyness whenever is possible.
Terror and mystery series or films fascinate me. also y enjoy to be with my friends and talk to about soccer, encourage them to play hattrick but unfortunately this have been not very successful. I wasn’t able to log them in hat trick but I related them to the whatsapp group of the tavern. My friend Jesús has registered twice because my insistence but his team has disappeared because he has not reconnected.
One thing is for sure, he is loved by all tavern members as he is very active in the whassap group. Even at the Tato Brewery I managed to log him in.
My free time that I don’t dedicate to hattrick, I dedicate to watch football, I also like to go to my region´s clubs stadiums to supportSpain´s third division. I was also in Cáceres this year watching the Cacereño who played Copa del Rey against the Eibar (First Division). He lost 1-2 with an own goal in the last minute. The Cacereño took the lead and the surprise was near. After that Eibar was knocked out by another team in my region: CD Badajoz. I couldn’t go to that game since Badajoz is very far from my house and I had several exams that week. I have also visited my beloved club´s stadium: The Santiago Bernabéu. A year ago I did the tour and visited it for the last time. I haveattended to several matches, and I am wishing that we can return to the old normality and be able to come back to the stands of the Chamartín stadium for supporting the team of my heart.
We continue to deeply dig into your privacy; We know about the Federation, the Blog, YouTube, the FaceBook, etc … but additionaly to this, in how many wasap groups are you active?

I wrote there what I want to know in English and the first one who reads translates it for me. That is for short translations. Long translations (Interview and others) are done by email.
I was involved in one relative to Argentina´s youth players https://chat.whatsapp.com/FgdeHfHcPrcCguqzKhvrwo
And many others groups with family, friends,groups of former classmates and mates from the university.
Every barman has his “star waiters”, in your case, would they be Crying-19 and Franfer ?; without detracting the others obviously, it just my impression; a few words about them, please.
What can I say about «the master».! A very hard-working person, very constant, with a lot of patience,he gives it all. I hope he comes to my land in Cáceres to give a concert. He is a wonderful person who has been always present for years without fail. No matter what happens, always find a place for the tavern. He even created our anthem. Thanks to people like him, Hattrick is worth playing.
And what can I say about my bro. Carlitos Franfer. I have no words to thank him for all he has done for me. A true friend and a great person. I have never met a person as good as him. Our relationship goes much more than hattrick. I consider him a true friend who has helped me in various things in my life, not only in the game.
Well, they both are important. In fact, they are all important. Each one does his bit.
-AdW135 (13520054): I have not known him for a long time but a very hardworking guy, an example for us. He is always ready to help in a way and to bear the anger of his “Monsieur president” (That is how he calls me).-
Compare_Turiddu (4689525): He always gives all for the federation and helps in every possible way-
EraVulgaris (6762471): He also has a lot of patience with his Mr. Boss (as he calls me). A quiet guy. Pleasant who never loses his nerves and helps in whatever is necessary.
-HM-luistm71 (13177188): The last one that has been incorporated. Person with a lot of experience in the world of hattrick who always do his game effectively.
-JVilches (4538822): His quiz games make our federation a bigger place.
-m4ret (4240687): He has joined not long ago. A quiet and unobtrusive but hard-working guy.I think I made a great recuitment with him.
-TydLi (5588320): Lito is my friend, my brother, my defender, my cheerleader He always helps me and defends me by sword against anyone.. He was the author of the term: Imberbes.
-sagarcia (7677941): Stephane is a great man, calm and hard-working.
-Sebas_25 (4273492): What can I say about Mr. Ortega. I always give him a ticking off but he is always ready as a formula 1.
And also we have our badget designers: Anakinxx (13325703) and chema07 (11738516).
All of them are important! Each does his bit and we make the federation and Hattrick a better place. If anyone is willing to collaborate you can contact me without problems. We always need people to help. Any help is welcome and the more we are, more we can do.
There is something that makes me very curious, knowing the large number of activities you carry out in the Federation, Blog and Facebook, all duly updated, translated, with follow-ups, etc, etc; how much “real” time does it take you per day, and how many people do they take care of on average per week; I suppose it will be a lot of work.
Well, all the people I have named in the previous question are the ones that take care of everything we do every week. We have distributed all the work and I am in charge of supervising that everything is accomplished and also doing my part. There are weeks when someone is busy and another person replaces him. Each one helps the time they have available per week. I could not tell you exactly how much time each one spend. There are weeks with more or less activity.
There are people who play HT because of math, others because of soccer, or long-term training, and many others because the «community» around this game. Talking about you, what percentage do you give to each thing?
ANSWER- In my case what motivates me most about hattrick is the community. In fact, after losing my team one year ago, if it had been for sports I would not have returned (I had 60 million euros in my account). I came back for the community. I couldn’t leave my people, I couldn’t leave headless the tavern. By September 2018 I was frustrated by a sanction, I was burnedout and I left the tavern for a wile and the team was in fallow but then I came back and everything was different because several persons began to collaborate and I was no so tired.
To finish with the intrusive questions; How is a «normal» Pablito day like? Schedules, activities, etc.
Well, it depends on the day, but usualy I get up early to go to college. I study in Cáceres and live in a town 20 kilometers away. By car it takes 20 minutes to get there but since I don’t have the driver license, I must take the bus an hour earlier and then take the urban bus. I usualy spend the morning at University and many days I lunch in Cáceres with friends or my uncles. They give us a lot of teamwork homework and we must meet very often. All this before confinement. Then unfortunately life radically changed for all us. Fortunately, I finish the whole course with good qualifications and now little by little things are returning to normal and step by step we can recover the life we had before. Hattrick is always open on the cell phone or on the computer. And whenever I am: on the bus or the teacher is even explaining, sometimes I do some Hattrick work.
Currently, I am taking practical lessons for the driving license. I have failed 6 times and I hope that on the seventh I will be able to approve. If Madrid plays, I never miss a game of my team.
I have a question (copying the great «Franfer» style); We have information that users who dare to take advantage of the anti-spam option of their publications are included in a “gray list”, and beer and soft drinks are mixed with tap water in the Tavern bar, aren´t it?
hahaha… They are branded as “imberbes” and yes, we serve them with the least quality products of our tavern. Seriously talking, you must to respect everyone. There are people who do not want to receive our weekly newsletters and they have the option to request the spam free brother charge and thus deactivate newsletter…
We are celebrating LTP’s Fifth Anniversary; Could you please make a summary of sensations and moments lived in these years; What projects are you preparing and who are left of those «first customers» of the tavern?
Well, spectacular. For me, founding this tavern is the greatest achievement I can reach in the game. Maybe one day I will win a Cup, the Hattrick Master. But it will never be as valuable as the creation of the federation. I have met wonderful people, people that I consider my friends with and people with whom friendship goes further than the game. I have made many people happy. I have made many people know each other to recover the illusion in the game. That is priceless! I have also made mistakes in the past such enrol into a group for NT Spain and fighting with people that I should never have had to fight. The important thing is to recognize them and move forward. We have projects for the future but we cannot reveal them. What I can tell you is we havetavern for many years. As for the first customers of the tavern there are several. You made me check it… hahaha
For example: DHT-Oscar lluisbg and Munon , I have checked that they when the Tavern was founded and there are surely some more.
In September 2018 the 1600 members were reached in LTP, do you think it is possible to reach that number again? Do you ever dream of reaching 2,000 members?
It reached 1,620 members on September 3, 2018. That day I was quite frustrated by events that happened and I was quite burned out playing 1,000 games a day. Managing three teams that at that time competed and running practically every game in the tavern.
I am a very impulsive person. I even asked the GMs to close my team.
Finally I received messages from many users and they convinced me to keep the team in follow mode.
Then, several persons began to collaborate in the tavern. I stopped being supporter and in December the user Mafedet renewed her supporter and with the offer she gave me three months of gold supporter and I returned to the tavern. And step by step I became more activebut I never without reaching the same as before. More and more people began to collaborate until today. Today we are less than those 1,620 members from September 2018. But the tavern works much better! There is more activity and with all the collaboration I have less work because it is distributed among the collaborators.
Talking about Federations; you are member in many (at 50 I stopped counting), tell me 3 or 4 that most attract your attention, participate more and / or would you recommend.
Of course La Taberna de Pablito. There is no equal federation. Games, prizes, supporter, place to talk about politics. Any topic.
But there are many others: The grandparents’ federation, the World of Flags federation where you can get all kinds of flags, the federation of my friend Lluis recently founded: Hattrick Federation 2020 and in which he is investing a lot of time and hope.
Last question:, the typical HT Central question; you are at the bar counter watching a Real Madrid game (the VAR just gave him a penalty and cancelled a legal goal against the rival) suddenly you turn around and see HT-Johan; yes!!! Hattrick´s god hinselfhaving a beer with you and singing Hala Madrid; then in confidence he tells you; «Pablito, because you have the most popular Federation of HT, I grant you ONE wish … What would you like to change or add in the game?» … what would you answer?
Well, deactivate the chat of the federations. That at least the owner of the federation has the option of allowing its use or not. Large federations such as La Taberna and World of Flags affect us since we have many users and when there are many messages there we lose members.
Schumi- and me have make a complaint a long time ago that was communicated to HTs as far as I know. But unfortunately, our suggestion has not been taken into account.
I would also take the opportunity to ask Johan if he has a cousin in Spain. I watch his face in the draw that was made for the 3,000 euros and is very similar physically to the current coach of the NT of Spain: HM-Capri09.
We have finished !!! Thank you very much Pablito, A GREAT GUY in the community of the Green World !!!
My pleasure! Thank you very much for the great work you do. Hopefully we can enjoy HT-Central and the tavern for many more years.
