Madrid stew. An American team manages to grow chickpeas in lunar regolith

by

A team from the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M has achieved that a handful of chickpea plants complete their life cycle in a substrate that imitates the lunar regolith. That is to say, (for the first time) it has been possible for a legume of direct nutritional interest to germinate, develop flowers and produce seeds in a medium of this type. But, let’s go for twists. Grow chickpeas on the Moon!? Although that is the most striking headline, the truth is that it is not exactly that what researchers have shown. We have been trying to find ways to grow crops in the lunar regolith for years and, in fact, the tests that were done in 2022 on real samples were a failure. For this reason, the team has focused on demonstrating that a sterile substrate could be transformed into something similar to arable soil by exploring the symbiosis between the plant in question and a fungus. That is, the crucial thing is that they have managed to ‘bioremediate’ the pulverized rock. And what did they do? The researchers got together chickpeas with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi drastically improve the absorption of water and nutrients, increase resistance to stress and function for practical purposes as natural biofertilizers. The chickpeas in question flowered and produced seeds in soil containing up to 75% simulated regolith. In the soil composed of 100% simulated regolith they couldn’t get them to give seedsbut the step forward is incredible. Above all, because we have gone from a proof of concept in which lPlants could survive with a lot of stress to one where they can generate crops. The choice of plant is also interesting. Typically, space agricultural research has focused on short-cycle leafy vegetables and, indeed, lettuces. have been cultivated on the ISS for a long time. The problem, as researchers say, is that these vegetables serve to complement the diet, but do not contribute much nutritionally. Chickpeas (with their 15 grams of protein per cup and almost all essential amino acids) are something else. However, the question is important: does it make sense to plant on the Moon? And the answer, as Raúl Herranz of the CSIC points outit’s just not right now. If you need 25% of the necessary soil, mushrooms and some worms… it is probably more efficient to carry the chickpeas packaged. Luckily, this is only the beginning of the journey and there is still a long way to go before the final turnaround. The good news is that we are getting closer.

A German Fire team was blindly trusted in its diesel trucks. They discovered that the electric were better

by

“We cannot trust experiments in an emergency.” It was, without any doubt, the most repeated phrase in the fire department of the Garching Campus of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) when they considered replacing their diesel trucks with electric. At least, that’s what they assure from the University itself. The phrase was repeated to satiety by their own firefighters during internal surveys. The rejection was widespread for the delicate of the matter: to change the reliability of their diesel trucks for a technology with which many of them had not had contact. The most repeated doubts, collect the companions of Motorpasionwere their load times, the reliability of trucks and even safety during operations. All these concerns seem to have disappeared. And, for those who have not disappeared, there is an expected security network. No, autonomy is not a problem either A year later, everyone seems to be delighted with change. The Fire Park now uses a 66 kWh capacity battery, engines that generate 490 hp and, the small trick, an autonomy extensor that is put into a marking with a six online cylinders that generates another 301 hp diesel. Regarding your capacity techniqueIt has a 2,000 -liter water tank and another 125 liters of Igniphuga foam and, despite being electric, a half -meter Vadeo capacity. That is, at the technical level, there is no substantial difference between an electric truck and a traditional diesel. We said the little trick is in that diesel generator. And it is that the truck is, in reality, an electric of extended autonomy that allows it to have a safety network. This type of vehicles are designed to be used as almost always electric and the combustion engine is nothing more than an emergency solution. In fact, they are usually engines that are used as an electric generator, producing electricity to a battery that feeds the engines. The solution is very widespread in China And, in fact, brands like Hyundai either Mazda They have cars that apply this technology. In the case of an electric firefighter truck, the solution does not go so through the autonomy available to travel (in a city they should be short distances) but to “skip” the load of the truck in case of requiring several interventions in a short time. Because, at the level of interventions, according to your data only 3% They need to turn on the diesel engine to be able to supply energy to the water pump. This, obviously, needs to pull the vehicle’s energy but is not until after half an hour when the battery is exhausted and need to turn on the diesel propeller. “In more than 97% of operations it is not necessary”, They emphasize. Saved that first and important stumbling block, from the fire team seem to be delighted with the new vehicle. They point out that without engine noise they can communicate better between them, both to speak directly and to understand what is being said on the radio. In its article, the German University emphasizes that it is a clear improvement within the vehicle but also for those who work outside it. “This allows us to communicate much better among us, which is great. You can also understand the radio and your colleagues without any problem, so you do not have to continue asking questions, a great gain in safety and comfort.” From the Fire Department they say that “our experience shows that electric mobility works for the Fire Department. I hope that many more fire departments follow their example. In any case, there is a lot of interest: we regularly receive consultations about our experiences.” The next step, they say, will be to install solar panels to load the trucks.

Zuckerberg already has his superintelligence team. It also has many employees angered by the abysmal salaries difference

by

Imagine that you have been working in a company for many years and hire a new team, which is dedicated to the same as you, but charges much more. I wouldn’t make any grace. This is what is happening in goal after the arrival of the new superintelligence team and its millionaire salaries. Zuckerberg has spent summer hiring the best talents of AI And now that he has them, he faces a problem: get everyone to be happy. Page more. As reported in the Wall Street Journalone of the consequences after the formation of the superintelligence team has been that the most veteran employees have begun to compete for new positions and salary increases. An employee who achieved a millionaire bonus left anyway because he thought the new ones continued to win more than him. Privileges. The new team, to which TBD Lab have baptized, works at the finish line in Menlo Park, in a restricted access zone very close to the office of Zuckerberg himself and their names do not even appear in the organization chart of the company. The secretism surrounding the project and these security measures are creating the perception that there is a distinction between employees. Counteroffertes. Some unhappy employees went to the competition in search of new opportunities and got a counterofferte by the goal to stay. According to the Wall Street Journal, some got important increases and even moved to the TBD Lab team. Meta has denied it, ensuring that they already planned to move those employees. Resignations. We recently talked about The first side effects of these millionaire hiring. They counted In Wired that at least three of the new signings had resigned just a few weeks after starting in their new positions. Ruben Mayer, who came from Scale AI left the company for personal reasons. Avi Verma and Ethan Knight went to Openai, and Rishabh Agarwal He did not make clear what his destiny would be. There are more. Chaya Nayak, product director of the generative and goal employee for more than eight years, has also gone to OpenAi. Volatility. The case of Shengjia Zhao illustrates very well the volatility of the IA labor market. He reached the finish line as part of the Superintelligence Team and, according to Wireda week he decided to return to OpenAI. Meta got his salary tripling, in addition to offering him the position of chief scientist. Again, goal denies it and In the announcement They affirmed that Zhao had been the chief scientist since the first day, but they had not made it official until then.

You already have your first vanguard lithography team

by

The effort they are making Chinese lithography equipment manufacturers To develop their own avant -garde machines, it is titanic. And, as expected, the Xi Jinping government is supporting these companies with multimillionaire subsidies. In fact, at the beginning of September 2023 he approved a game of no less than 41,000 million dollars Destined precisely to the companies that produce the equipment involved in the manufacture of integrated circuits. One of these companies is Pulin Technology. This Chinese organization has opted, like Naura Technology, Amec (Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc. China) or Piotech Inc., for developing their own avant -garde photolithography machines. And the achievements are getting little by little. The one who has just signed Pulin is impressive because, According to Digitimes Asiahas sent one of its customers its first avant -garde team using nano -impression lithography technology (it is known as NIL by its English denomination Nanoimprint Lithography). On paper this machine is an alternative to ASML UVE equipment We still do not know in detail the characteristics of the new lithography team developed by Pulin, but it doesn’t matter. And, in reality, NIL technology is not new. The Japanese Canon company has its own commercial solution for yearsand presumably its principles of operation are in essence the same as those of the machine designed by Pulin. Canon began working in the Nil lithography in 2004. Thirteen years later, in 2017, he delivered the FPA-1200NZ2C team, Your first functional nil machineto Toshiba to be installed in its Yokkaichi memory chips production plant in Japan. Pulin Technology has sent one of its customers its first avant -garde team using nano -impression lithography technology On paper, NIL photolithography equipment is an alternative to the machines of extreme ultraviolet lithography (UVE) that designs and manufactures the Dutch company ASML, although NO TO THE VERSION OF ALTA OPENING of these teams. The latter right now are the most sophisticated and expensive that exist. In this article we do not need to investigate in depth in the foundations of NIL lithography, but we are interested in knowing that its integrated circuit manufacturing strategy is different from that used by the UVE and UVP lithography equipment (deep ultraviolet). Very broadly the production of silicon wafers in the latter requires transporting the geometric pattern described by the mask to the surface of the silicon wafer using ultraviolet light and extremely refined optical elements. NIL lithography, however, allows the pattern to be transferred to the wafer without the need for an extremely complex optical system to intervene in the process. This strategy is simpler and more economical, but also entails the execution of several sequential processes that make it slower than UVE and UVP lithography. Canon ensures that their nano -impression lithography equipment can be used to manufacture integrated circuits comparable to 5 Nm chips that TSMC, Samsung or Intel produce with ASML UVE machines. And in the future with the refinements that will arrive They can manufacture 2 nm chips. However, this is not all. Besides, According to Fujio Mitaraigeneral director of Canon, a NIL team costs ten times less than an ASML UVE machine: 15 million dollars compared to the 150 million dollars requested by the Dutch company to its customers for a UVE machine with Numerical Opening 0.33. We still do not know how much each Pulin Nil team will cost, but it is reasonable to anticipate that at most it will have a cost comparable to that of the canon machine.

The new Ibai football team already has a name and where to play. What he does not have is tradition, and that in football is a problem

by

Ibai Llanos has not left time to settle The dust generated by the last eveningand is already giving new headlines. The football team that has created from zero To see how far it has it has a name, Ronin FC, but its growth strategy enters into contradiction with what for many fans is football right now. A calculation failure that can cost the image of your club. I want a football team. Shortly before summer, Ibai advertisement From your Tiktok account that he was going to finance a football team that would start in the most modest categories with the intention of being promoted year by year, specifically in the fourth Catalan division. He said the streamer “we are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years.” The team will be called Ronin FC, a name out of the Samuraisless nickname Only on Instagram In less than 24 hours, and they also have a field to play, located in Rubínear where the streamer. To the counter. However, this Ibai attitude goes against what we see in world football: while sport is globalized and financed as never before, a powerful current of resistance emerges simultaneously that claims authenticity, local, genuine. Rayo Vallecano fans joining so that Your team does not lose your essential localthe Oviedo’s promotion celebrations And raise this year, the Retro t -shirt feverMalaga fans receiving their team After the promotion to 2nd At the airport, the Momentazo Melendi In the Playoff of Ascent, the Previous of the First Party of Valencia After the Dana … It is a Nostalgia for “real” footballcontrary to what the English have baptized as “Plastic Football“, And that concerns, among other things, great clubs such as PSG, City or Chelsea, although with nuances: the City, for example, has a strong local thrust too. The current football Zeitgeist privileges the narrative of the territorial roots and that the teams represent more than a business project. Causing. In this context, Ronin FC emerges, and its only existence seems an act of involuntary provocation. A newly created club that bears the name of the warriors without a master of feudal Japan, something impossible to generate identification from the same shield or without references to the city where it is located. Is owned by Ibai Llanos (which is not any streamer: For a few days, The most often of Twitchsurpassing superstars as Ninja), and with a budget ten times higher than their category rivals. It is like a team created artificially to play FIFA. Ibai plays with fire. Ibai wants to succeed with a team that does not seek the tradition and folklore of the game to legitimize, but to do it with a talonario, however modest its initial intentions. Had to realize when he said for the first time His plans to buy Real Murcia And he found the exception of fans who did not know if a streamer Millionaire of thirty years was the best choice to direct a centenary club. The result has been the expected: Ibai has started from scratch, with a Frankenstein football. How it is usually done. The usual practices when an inverter acquires a club are of two types: or a club with history is bought and that tradition is respected (such as when Abramovich bought Chelsea or sheikhs did it with Manchester City), and has a clear objective: take advantage of a brand and generate an economic return. The other option is to buy a small team and not touch it too much to keep its essence. In the style of What Ryan Reynolds did with Wrexham de Walesthat acquired it in 2020 more to refloat something that already existed that with the intention of renewing it completely. It is not a decision born from nothing: it is the third oldest professional club in the world, it has 159 years of history and 65,000 people of Wales are their fans. It is the antithesis of the Ibai movement. Ronin on the screen. Ibai’s attitude, therefore, even well -intentioned, clashes with that “respectful” arrival to the football of other investors. The fans who can attract this team are fans of the streamer Because there has been no time To germinate a club culture that, sometimes, It has generations to get. According to his own statements, Ibai caresses the idea of broadcasting the parties through streamingwhat can give attention never seen on a category as secondary as the one that is going to play the Ronin FC. The question is not whether your team can withstand that media attention, but if you will not end up playing against your club’s own image. In Xataka | Ibai only had a milestone for unlocking on Twitch. And he just got it thanks to evening 5

“I have created more billionaires in my management team than any other CEO in the world”

by

Jensen Huang is In the epicenter of one of the industries with the greatest Growth potential in which some are managed dizzy investment figures. That flow of money, also permeates higher wages, especially in those strategic positions such as It has shown well Mark Zuckerberg with his last rounds of signing of talent. Within the framework of a round of interviews with AI as a central axis, the CEO of Nvidia has presumed how well paid its closest collaborators. So Huang does not fear that his competition comes to steal his best talent. “They are very good. You don’t have to feel sorry for anyone in my management team,” Huang said. The Nvidia billionaire club. In a thematic days about organized AI by all-in podcastJensen Huang answered a question of moderators about the recent signings and millionaire hiring between AI specialists: “I have created more billionaires in my management team than any other executive director of the world.” Under the stock market results From the company, this statement is absolutely true since a good part of the remuneration of Nvidia’s responsibility positions have a package of actions linked to their position, and the rest of the company’s employees can take advantage of the Share purchase plan for employees (ESPP for the acronym in English of Employee Stock Purchase Plan). Through these plans, much of its template has become a millionaire. Working in the most profitable company has advantages. The price of Nvidia’s shares have not stopped growing in recent years, so any employee who had invested a minimum initial capital, would have increased substantially. According to published data by Fortunesince 2019, the company has increased 3,776% in the price of its shares, with a 170% rise in the last year. With a heritage valued at about 151,000 million dollars, Huang has made Nvid Become Millionaires. Small and well paid teams. Nvidia is one of the companies with Greater profitability by employee. That is, it is able to generate huge benefits with a relatively reduced template. Huang ensures that this is the formula for success in AI investigation. “Some 150 researchers in AI, with sufficient financing, can probably create an OpenAi. There is something elegant in small teams,” said the CEO of Nvidia. Huang said that this approach not only maximizes the performance of the teams, but also facilitates to make its “extraordinarily rich” members if they reach the expected success, putting as an example the OpenAI researchers or to the development team of Deepseek. Nothing moves in Nvidia without knowing Huang. Another feature of Huang’s leadership is that CEO knows everything that happens in your company thanks to a peculiar system Email -based that allows him to be aware of what he does or worries to the last employee of the company. This proximity allows Huang to affirm that it personally supervises “the compensation of all employees until today … and always increases the company’s expense on operational expenses.” According to Huang, there is a reason for weight to take care of your employees, “if you take care of people, everything else takes care of themselves.” The CEO has declared a joke: “Yes, I carry Stock Options In the pocket right now. “ Nvidia’s “gold wives”. However, these economic incentives of Nvidia are associated with a Extreme labor demandwhich implies eternal days seven days a week. Despite this intensity, Nvidia has registered a personnel rotation index below the average of its peers. According to his 2024 sustainability reportin that year it was only 2.7%, compared to the 17.7% that the semiconductor industry records on average. Bloomberg defined This phenomenon has been described as “gold wives” for those employees and managers who access these actions packages.

If the question is how to make a team more productive, the answer according to Jeff Bezos is clear: with two pizzas

by

Amazon is one of the world’s largest companies and Jeff Bezosits founder and former CEO, one of the richest people. In a company like Amazon, productivity, Talent management and the synchronization of the equipment is very important and that everything flows in the best possible way a rule as curious as useful and interesting is responsible: that of the two -pizz teams. The “problem” of the scale. As Explain Daniel Slater, World Innovation Culture Director at Amazon Aws, When Amazon began It was structured “to achieve rapid agility and offer constant value to customers.” Amazon was, at that time, an “inventing machine.” That is why hiring and organizational structure were prioritized. The problem is that Amazon, which started as an electronic commerce, climbed. Climbed, and how. When the company was smaller, the teams “were more centralized and closely linked”, but as the firm began to grow this structure resulted in greater slowness and inefficiency. To face it “we radically change our technical architecture to what is known as Microservice architecture“, explains Slater.” We discourage our monolithic architecture in a vast network of unique and independent services “, which allowed to launch news and offers faster. But that’s not all. According to Slater, to maximize the ability to remain close to users and their needs, at the same time that new products and services are launched, Amazon invented a new way of organizing the equipment. Instead of large teams, the firm opted for smaller and agile teams capable of taking advantage of the architecture of microservices. For this, a fairly peculiar rule was used. The teams of two pizzas. The concept is quite simple and is that no team should be so large that more than two pizzas are needed to feed it. Not because A Amazon make a hole in accounting Buy a median of three more ingredients in the nearest Domino’s, but because “the smallest teams minimize the lines of communication and reduce the general expenses of bureaucracy and decision making.” It is assumed that with Two pizzas They can eat about ten people, although that is an opinion that would be willing to fight with nails and teeth. In any case, “the two -pizz teams” is a somewhat searched form to refer to teams of less than ten people. This size “allows two -pizz teams to spend more time focusing on their customers and constantly experiencing and innovating for their benefit,” says Slater. Does the team need three pizzas to eat? Well, then it’s too big | Image: Pexels The advantages of small equipment. As they expose from Amazon, small teams increase “involvement and training” and reduce the known as Ringelmann effect (Individual productivity is reduced as the group becomes larger, and vice versa). Citing the Hackman and Vidmar studyAmazon says that the smallest teams “also increase employee satisfaction” since “in large teams, individual contributions are less recognizable and individual involvement on specific areas becomes more diffuse.” These small teams, say from Amazon, also allow to experience faster and reduce the cost of failure. A TEAM, A PRODUCT. How do you implement these “two -pizzas teams”? Easy: a equipment for each product or service. In the words of Daniel Slater: “Instead of maintaining complex systems or solving problems that cover multiple services, business lines or customer segments, two pizzas equipment focus on a single service or offer, and only on customers that use it. This unique approach favors effectiveness and scalability.” More pizzas. If the team grows, something likely if the needs increase, “we look for ways to divide it into separate equipment of two pizzas that work in a sub -section of the service with a single subprocess.” However, from Amazon they are aware that this structure is not for everyone and has its counterpart. “Two -pizz teams are not perfect, and are not immune to limitations; an example is that with so many autonomous teams, of a single process, which They work quickly To meet the needs of their own clients, there is the risk of duplication and development in silos, “says Slater. It is also necessary to collaborate between teams so that rapid experimentation is effective, as well as for Share errors and learning.

An 11 robots football team

by

Four university teams of completely autonomous humanoid robots They faced in Beijing In football matches of 3 against 3. The interesting thing is that they did it without any human intervention. Of course, the Androids stumbled, fell and some had to be even taken out on a stretcher, but behind the show there was a whole muscle demonstration and a robotic industry that is increasingly present in China. The reality behind the show. Although the scene seemed more a child training than a professional party, each robot worked totally independently through AI. Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the androids were the size of a child and managed to identify the ball and navigate the field with some agility, in addition to getting up alone after the falls (although some needed human help). Image: The Independent The final was played by Thu Robotics, from the Tsinghua University, in front of the Mountain is from the Agricultural University of China. The first rose with the victory with a result of 5 to 3. in The video The clumsiness of each of the robots are quite appreciated, although the event is one of many demonstrations in which it is intended to highlight the ease that China has in the field of robotics. The technological context. The country has been betting hard for humanoid robotics as part of its national technological strategy. According to Morgan Stanley, the Chinese robotic market will grow 23% annual until reaching 108,000 million dollars in 2028, compared to the current 47,000 million. By 2050, China is expected to have 302.3 million humanoid robots in operation, far ahead of the 77.7 million projected for the other major market: United States. Robotics in the field of sport. The sport has become a key test field for these developments. In April, 21 humanoid robots They competed with humans in a half marathon in Beijingalthough only six managed to finish. This football tournament prel a prelude to the World Humanoid Robots Games of 2025, which China will organize in Beijing From August 15 to 17 with 11 robotic sports, including gymnastics, athletics and football. Between the lines. Cheng Hao, founder of Booster Robotics (company that supplied robots during the event), Explain that sports competitions accelerate the development of both algorithms and integrated hardware-Software systems. Security is a central concern: “In the future, we could organize matches between robots and humans. That means we must ensure that robots are completely safe,” he says. The idea is that spectators generate trust seeing real interactions between androids and people. Football irony. While the Chinese male team occupies the 94th position of the FIFA ranking and everything indicates that it will not be classified for the next World Cup, its robots at least seem to know how to offer show and score goals. Who knows, the same in a time China can fulfill Guardiola’s wet dream in his tactical football and “without creativity”, who has been criticized several times By experts and players like Patrice Evra: “Now we have robots” The analysis suggests that Chinese national support for “EMBODIED AI“It exceeds that of any other nation, which could expand its advantage before rivals like the United States pay more attention to this field.

“I feel responsible for my team and my clients”

by

According to The records of LayoffsMicrosoft has fired more than 6,000 employees in what we had of 2025. One of those employees was Freddy Kristiansen59, fired from the Microsoft subsidiary in Denmark in May 2025 after a 23 -year career in the company as a product manager. However, although officially it is no longer part of the company, Kristiansen Keep going to the office. “It may sound rare to appear in the office after being fired, but I still feel committed to the products, with the people who use them and with my colleagues,” he explains In an interview for Business Insider. A link that goes beyond the contract Its history began in 2002, when it was hired by Navision, a company that shortly after It was acquired by Microsoft. What thought it would be a temporary job finally became a professional career of more than two decades. “I thought: ‘Maybe this can be something in the long term.’ And so,” Kristiansen recalled. Although the Danish law he grants him A period of six months and three months of compensation after the dismissal for being an employee more than nine years old, Kristiansen affirms that his motivation to continue going to the office It is not economical. Microsoft relieved him of all his functions, but due to Danish legislation, Kristiansen is still an employee of Microsoft until November. Instead of using that time to look for a new job (What is designed for what is designed), the product manager continues to attend his office daily. His last great project was Somethinga tool for github. “I feel a responsibility not only to maintain the product, but also to reassure customers to know that they are in good hands,” he told the American environment. “If you need my help, I will answer questions, I will share advice or whatever necessary. There is no reason to stop doing it,” he says. Actually, they have done a favor The employee’s reaction can be surprising for continuing to go to the company Instead of racing in angerbut the truth is that Kristianse’s dismissal came at a time when new personal and professional challenges had already begun. “I thought I could feel annoying, but it really was a relief,” he confesses. While some of his companions were worried about Kristianse’s future, he saw an opportunity to lower the rhythm after two decades at the foot of the cannon. In fact, during The layoffs of 2023the veteran employee presented an anonymous consultation about the possibility of asking for a voluntary dismissal. “I never did,” he clarified. “During the last decade I have worked very hard and I have thrown many hours. But now I am no longer interested in working 60 hours a week. It seemed to me that it was the right time to finally chase my dream long postponed to work in my own terms,” ​​he said. As published in Your personal blogKristiansen focuses on designing his own business plan with the intention of offering consulting services such as CTO, management of projects and motivational talks, while Enjoy more free time And he takes up healthy habits. “From the dismissals, I repeat that there is no evil that for good does not come.” Respect for the fruit of his work Despite the dismissal, Kristiansen continues Share your experience and the decisions that marked his career. “No one forced me to work 20 hours on weekends or strive so much, but I did it because I felt it was the right thing. I did it because I really felt a connection with our partners, our clients and my colleagues. And, honestly, I still feel it,” says the former employee. Its involvement With customers, partners and products it remains so strong that, although its contract ends, respect for everything that it built during its years in Microsoft remains intact. At least until November, when you will have to deliver your corporate laptop and credential.

Ibai is going to launch its own football team to start from the lowest. There is actually a very thoughtful strategy

by

Ibai Llanos is, without a doubt, The most ambitious Spanish streamer. Restless and little given to be in a single type of content, it is stretching the limits of what can be expected from a creator on the Internet to use, to the point that its new project is out of the merely virtual environment: it has announced that it will finance a football team that will start in the most modest categories with the intention of ascending what you can. From the fourth division. Nothing less than in the fourth Catalan division will start the team, as the streamer From your Tiktok account. “We are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years, as far as we arrive,” he says (although it is not exactly the lowest possible category). The digital confidential revealswith information arrived from the environment of Ibai, which there is already a field in which to train, whose location will be revealed soon. Aspects such as the name and other issues will be chosen collaboratively. Starting. At the moment, there are no players: they need 20 and a coaching staff, and the search has already begun. He has opened the call for players in his networks, and we sympathize with whom he has to manage the avalanche of children’s videos giving touches. The choice of the fourth Catalan division is not accidental, of course: Ibai resides in Catalonia and that regional category allows you to enter the federated football system. This team still without a name is, therefore, Ibai’s next step within soccer management, after Your football team 7Porcinos fc, will achieve win the world championship of the Kings League devised by Piqué. Buy the Murcia. It is not the first time that Ibai enters the field of soccer management. In 2021 he expressed his desire to Buy Real Murciaproclaiming his desire that “a humble team is respected the shield.” The mention of Murcia is not accidental: although the team is not at its best (especially considering that it was in 1st division, it is now in the first federation, the third level of Spanish football divisions), it has a great stadium, much follow -up in the city and a long history of famous interested in it: Auronplay and Djmariio They were shareholders And they also The presenters of modern life. Investor problems … Football club management for large business or famous groups has generated abundant controversies in recent years. For example, Valencia is plunged into A serious crisis Under the property of Peter Lim, Singapore businessman, who has been accused of bad financial management, lack of investment, sale of key players and disconnection with the local fans. Granada CF has suffered similar problems, managed by Chinese investors and subsequently sold to other funds. In this context, he has suffered management problems and has accused the lack of a stable sports project, with frequent changes of coaches and directive. … and the celebrities. Valladolid suffered a similar image and results crisis that has lasted until very recently: Ronaldo Nazário acquired 51% of the club in 2018 promising to take it to the elite. A roller coaster of promotions and descents led to the disgust of the fans. After a disastrous season, Ronaldo has sold its participation majority to an American investment group. This case is perhaps the clearest of a media personality with a past linked to football that took the controls of a club with disastrous results, and that possibly Ibai is very present. THE INTER CASE.
