Who is Enrique and what is his connection to Madridismo?
Still on my feet Still a few drinks to go Expired... And today we are going to travel to the Canary Islands and we are going to interview a madridista born in Venezuela, very well known and loved on Twitter, and who is also the founder of this house called Objetivo Cibeles. We are going to interview Enrique Ekdieg on Twitter, a madridista who had to exile from his country due to various circumstances that do not come to the case. Hello, how are you Enrique? Hello Alfon, how are you? Well, I'm fine. How are you doing in the Canary Islands? It's been a long time, right? Well, now it's also, but well, better than the peninsula, surely, and I don't know how it is there in Mallorca. Well, here these days is falling a good trunk of water, so we have the winter above, but well, it was time.
Yes, sir. Well, Enrique, the first thing I want to ask you is to introduce yourself a little. Well, my name, as you already said, is Enrique García. My nickname on Twitter is arrobaestie. And I started in this underground Madridism thanks to this person with whom I'm talking, who was the one who put me on a previous web.
How does living in the Canary Islands influence Enrique's Madridista experience?
Do you remember, Alfonso? Yes, perfectly, yes. That famous video of the hyenas. Yes, yes, yes. They were from other times. They were from other times, but well. But I've been a Madrid fan since I was little, mostly because of family tradition. Well, I was going to ask you that now. The main reason why you're from Madrid is because of family, right? Yes, well, normally the majority of the family, or a good part of the family, are Madrid fans, but they're light Madrid fans. They are fans of the team, but nothing more. I was the one who broke the mold. That's fine. Enrique, what does Real Madrid mean to you and the fact of being a Madrid fan? Whenever I'm asked this question, I illustrate it with an anecdote.
What does Real Madrid mean to Enrique as a fan?
I, even though I made myself a madridista in Venezuela, as we will talk about later, I have lived in Tenerife for ten years. But of course, most of my madridismo I lived in Venezuela. However, when I came to the Canary Islands, I was here alone. Yes, my family. I am the father of two boys. I am also married. And I was alone for a year here in the Canary Islands. Alone. I lived alone for a year. After having several years of marriage. And it is an experience that I do not recommend to anyone. It is not pleasant to live alone. Especially when you are used to living in a couple with your family. And really, who allowed me? not to go crazy in that year when I was living alone because there was a time when you feel that you are going to go crazy, it was Real Madrid.
How did Enrique experience being a Madridista while living in Venezuela?
Real Madrid was where I took refuge, where I sought support to overcome the most difficult days. And how did you feel being Real Madrid outside of Spain when you still lived in Venezuela? What advantages did you see and what disadvantages? Well, I'll tell you that in Venezuela it was easier to follow Madrid than in Spain. And maybe it doesn't seem to make much sense, but what happens is that what is called cable television, in Venezuela it is practically an obligation to have it, practically everyone has it. And because of that cable TV, you had access to all the games in Madrid, unlike here in Spain, where you have to pay... Now it has been generalized a little more, but normally people have to watch the games, not watch the games on TV, but they have to go to a bar or go on the internet or something like that.
So for me in Venezuela it was much easier to follow the games in Madrid. Uh-huh, uh-huh. ¿Y alguna otra ventaja de la cual quieras destacar? Bueno, que no te tropiezas con tantos antimadridistas como tú. Me imagino. And where you live now, in Tenerife, is there a lot of madridistas? There are quite a few madridistas, but there are too many culés. Too many, it's like... And are these culés anti-madridistas, or do they simply want to encourage Barcelona and that's it, and they don't care about the rest? I think they are a bit anti-Madrid.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of being a Madrid fan in Venezuela?
In fact, for many of them, the leagues that Madrid lost in Tenerife are achievements worthy of remembering.
