Xarapia, the achievements queen

Written by Numa79

The first Hattrick Press for me (Numa), is an interview with a local, former U20 coach Xarapia. In this interview we will get to know Xarapia a little better.

I hope you all enjoy this article.

Hello Xarapia,

- Could you please introduce yourself?
I'm Xarapia, a old soul lost on this planet... old but still beauty... :))

- Tell us about your team. What is the inspiration for your team name? What is your nicest match in your history? And in what match did you make a big mistake?
Hyenas... I used the Latin word not the English word "hyenas"... Why? I like those animals, In fact I like all animals. They don't kill like humans for power and glory. I remember that day when the Italian ex-coach of U20 called me an hyena. :)) For him this was an insult, for me not, because he knows nothing about hyenas. I'm looking at the humanity what are we doing with this planet. Sometimes I don't want to be an human... My best match? Winning the Kenyan cup. My worst mistake? Loosing 2 times the Kenyan cup final... :))

- Who is the favorite player you owned? And why?
I don't have favorite players...Like in real life I like teamwork... I like teams and not "superstars".

- Last season you changed your squad, what is your plan now and what are your goals with the new team? Will you ever be the champion from the first league or do you prefer winning a 2nd cup?
I don't have too much time for Hattrick... so I have no goals at the moment... I will set training and sell everything to make money... A lot of money and then I will come back to win everything... ;)

- You leaded the U20 for 1 period, how was that period for you? What makes you proud of that period, and what didn't? Would you want to lead the NT too one day?
I had a good start... I was on first place after a few games... Nobody give me a change when I won against Belgium... It was fun... But when winter's holiday came I had other priorities in life and I didn't have enough time for preparing the games and bad results came... NT too? I hope to be NT coach one day. ;)

- You are also the nr1. in Kenya regarding achievements (539 / 983), will you try to make this more, and which achievements do you really want?
I will try to do all achievements. I like achievements and I want more achievements into the future. I hope that the developers will create more achievements into the future.

- Also a interesting question: Let's imagine you are in charge of developing Hattrick. Tell us what Hattrick would look like two years from now.
First I want to increase the number of teams from 8 to 16 in league to be more realistic. It's very annoying to fight for winning the league and then play a relegated game from 5rd position. Many users quit playing Hattrick when they relegated. If you need to make a develop plan you must stay in lowest division and make money. For kids this is very annoying, they want more speed and more interaction. Maybe a league with 16 teams and 2 games per week? Then you don't need to beg for a friendly and get full training. And kids can make as many friendly games they want. Game engine must be more realistic too ... no more 2-5-3 or 5-5-0 ... you will never find that in real football.

Thanks for the interview. And enjoy the game. ;)
