gibbux: The most important thing are the people

Written by emsi9

An interview with gibbux (6972187) from the city of Ferrari, manager of the Carini e Coccolosi 2 (987674) - current Barbados Premier League Leader.

During these years I have known a lot of people and with many of them we are still in contact and few times during every year we met toghether in real life. It's funny!

- Could you please introduce yourself?
Hi everybody! My name is Riccardo, I'm 31 years old and I'm Italian (exactly from Modena, city of Ferrari!). I'm an engineer and I live with my wife and my daughter (6 months).

- Did you have a mentor at the beginning of your career to help and guide you through the first steps of running your team?
No, I didn't. I started to play with some friends but we were all newbies!

- You have your second team in Barbados. Why did you choose this country? Are you connected to it somehow (RL or HT)? How do you interact with locals, if at all?
I was one of the main known flag traders and when we started with the second team, Barbados was one of the most rare countries in HT. That's the reason why I choose Barbados. I have not connection with local users nor in real life.

- Tell us something about your second team. What is the inspiration for your team name?
The name is the 2.0 version of my first team! The logo is clearly related to the penguins of Madagascar (DreamWorks Animation film). I love them!

- If second teams had been allowed only in your own country, would you have opened one?
Sure. I like to explore other trainings, way to play, tactics... Really difficult to do just with one team without lose money and time!

- What motivates you to continue in Hattrick after so many years?
Sometimes I make to myself the same question... The main reasons are the people. During these years I have known a lot of people and with many of them we are still in contact and few times during every year we met toghether in real life. It's funny! Moreover, I think that is a sort of habit. If I'll stop to play i know that I'll miss it!

- How do you see HT in the future? Are there any feature you would like to have developed or changed?
To be honest I don't know... As I told you the most important thing are the people. I don't pay to much attention to the game. I use it as it is. If the game change, I'll try to set myself according to the changes. I'm just following the flow! =)

WAIT! Nononono.... I have one thing to ask at the game: please let me win this championship or i have to go in Poland to hit emsi9!!!! =)

Thank you emsi for the interview! Have a great 2016.

- Thank you for the interview too :) I wish you and your family al the best for 2016* :) !!!

*but without Barbados Premier League Champion title ;)
