What is Alejandro's background and why did he move to Amsterdam?
Still on my feet, still a few drinks to go Expired, think I'm falling And today we are going to travel to Holland, more specifically to Amsterdam. Today we have with us Alejandro, at AlejandroK87 on Twitter, Madridista exiled, in quotes, to the country of the tulips. Hello, how are you, Alejandro? How are you doing in Amsterdam? In Amsterdam, good. It's been a long time here. Today you have some guests out there, right? Yes, but they are not good, those who come. Well, the first thing is to ask yourself who you are and introduce yourself a little so that people get an idea and get to know you a little. My name is Alejandro. I am 27 years old. I am from a town in Cuenca called Casas de Fernanda Alonso.
We call it Teatinos and I have been living in Holland for two and a half years. I am an industrial engineer, a mechanical engineer and I came because in Spain it was more the thing.
What does being a Real Madrid fan mean to Alejandro?
I decided to come here. Of course, like many. The reality is what rules and if circumstances force you to leave Spain to work and create a future, then you have to do it, there is no other way. It's what we have to do. It's not bad here either, so... Alejandro, why are you from Real Madrid? What is the main reason? The main reason, since I was born, I'm from Madrid. My father is from Madrid, all my family is from Madrid, so... Por sangre soy del Madrid. Te viene de familia, pues, ¿no? ¿Y qué significa para ti el Real Madrid y el hecho de ser madridista? Para mí el Madrid es lo más grande que hay en mi vida, después de mi familia. Es una cosa que sigo todos los días, me encanta seguirlo, me encanta lo que representa.
For me, being a Madrid fan is one of the greatest pride in my life. I always carry something from Madrid with me.
How does Alejandro experience Madridism living outside of Spain?
As soon as I talk to someone, I immediately say that I am from Madrid. I love everything related to Madrid. How do you feel about being from Madrid outside of Spain? What advantages do you see? If you want me to tell you the truth, I see more advantages than disadvantages. Se lleva muy tranquilo. No tienes todo el día una prensa que ataca al Madrid, no está continuamente escuchando cosas en contra del Madrid. Tampoco tengo que discutir con gente de fútbol, ni tengo que aguantar a los del Barcelona, ni tengo que aguantar a ciertos madridistas con los que no comparto muchas cosas. Y se echa de menos, por ejemplo, no poder ir al estadio de vez en cuando y ver el fútbol algunas veces con los tuyos, también se echa de menos.
But for the rest, Madrid lives well here. And around Amsterdam, is there a lot of Madridism? No, not in Amsterdam. In Amsterdam, they are all from Barcelona. Barcelona and Ajax have shared a lot of history, especially Cruyff. The older people, of course, who have been very much from Cruyff, are very much from Barcelona.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a Madridista in Amsterdam?
The young people, there are some who do and others who don't. Especially the people who like more the type of football of Real Madrid. The young people who are disgusted with Cruyff, because Cruyff here is the same as in Spain. When Barcelona wins, it's thanks to him, and when they lose, it's because they don't listen. With Ajax, it's the same. But, nevertheless, if you move to Eindhoven, to Rotterdam, because they hate Ajax so much, then they hate Barcelona. That's why Madrid likes it. Because they hate Ajax, and Ajax is associated with Barcelona, they like Madrid. Well, you just said that in Amsterdam they are all from Barça, but are they also anti-Madridian? Do you see a lot of anti-Madridism there?
Yes, they are. Those who are from Barça are mostly anti-Madridian. I tell you, for example, sometimes I go with the Madrid shirt and they start to say things. Most of them I don't understand because they say it in Dutch, but you hear them say Visca el Barça or things like that. Pero también te tengo que decir que poco a poco está cambiando.
How does Alejandro watch Real Madrid matches in Amsterdam?
Cada día ves más gente joven con cosas del Madrid. Mis amigos ya los he hecho todos del Madrid. Bien hecho. Así que poco a poco, y ahora que el Madrid está empezando a ganar y el Barcelona está de capa caída, yo creo que va a cambiar un poco.
