Sorients, but tired of a week and a half not stopping, he went to MARCA, Adri Contreras, president of El Barrio accompanied by one of its star players, and who is still part of the team, Martín Mantovani.

Both, They came with the first trophy in Kings League history which El Barrio won against Annihiladores in the last final played at Camp Nou and which brought together more than 90 spectators.

Contreras told us that “I spent a few weeks where I couldn’t sleep more than three or four hours at a time, Even the day we won the final, I arrived in the hotel room and went to bed. I didn’t get up again. I didn’t go to the party with my team,” he told us off camera.

Champion Against All Odds

Adri Contreras had already said it in the interview with MARCA Gaming, “I have a great team, but I don’t like to give a prediction in case it ‘misses’. I think we will finish eighth”. Right, and this position I paired him with the worst possible dance partner, Ultimate Mstoles by DjMariio which they won 3-0 and went straight to the final at the Camp Nou.

“For us it was already a prize and we felt like champions just by going to the final at the Camp Nou, but i start to believe it when we go into the playoffs and no one trusts us, we loved it.” A confidence that was reinforced with the MVP of the final and key player in the home stretch, Martin Mantovani.

Then came the Final Four at Camp Nou, where they suffered to beat TheGrefg’s Saiyans 4-3 and be able to reach the first final of the Kings League Infojobsx.

This is where the Annihiladores of JuanSGuarnizo were waiting and where Adri Contreras was able to unload his shoulders and score the most decisive penalty in the Kings League.

“I became more nervous at the Cupra Arena than at the Camp Nou. There was my mother, who gave me that inner peace that I needed and I told him, now I’m here, mom, I’m going to take the penalty. As if I were in the garden of my house.”

When Adri found Mantovani

But if this finale had another protagonist, was the Argentinian and defender of El Barrio, Martín Mantovani, which Adri was noticed to have a special feeling with. The ‘bolt’ of the team, “is an important piece inside and outside the team”, underlined its president.

For the 38-year-old Argentinian “There is life after football thanks to the Kings League, even though the first time they called me from Adri’s team, I told them no. Then I saw what the competition was like and now I love it. I like it a lot”. And so much, two goals, Finals MVP and Key Player for a “closing” position which is beginning to be required in the competition.

A Mantovani that exercises his hierarchy within the Cupra Arena and has been able to guide his teammates defensivelyHis years at Legans or UD Las Palmas made him one of the last helmsmen of El Barrio, who dreams of revalidating the title in the second split.

“Here, I found a great atmosphere in the locker room and it was enough for him to defend well. We attacked very well, but we defended badly and in the end it was just to put the pieces in place and that’s it. Adri managed to create a good atmosphere within the team, that was also key.”

The Leicester district…

Everything happened very quickly since this first final on March 28, courses by different means and almost without realizing it, the start of the Kings League transfer market and this resulted in the dismantling of the champion team. In a series of “unfortunate events” he recalled what happened to Leicester when they won the Premier League against all odds and signed their stars.

Because the first day of the Kings League market led to a chain reaction that no one, not even Adri himself, expected. Up to five of his players have left, including ‘El Tridente’ consisting of Ubn, Jacobo and Pablo Beguer. “

“We knew we had the best draft, but I could not expect that on the first day of the market we would have five players less. I was calm because we had made two pacts to protect some of them. But as soon as I arrived at the Cupra, they told me that Annihiladores was going to pay Pau’s clause and that destroyed me. I got very fond of them and hours before we tattooed the shield of El Barrio and then half leave me. Very difficult.”

A series of exits that, for the moment, have taken away the backbone of the attack from El Barrio, in a transfer market that was not to the liking of the president of the winning team. “It does not allow you to create feelings for the players, how do you tell the community that now you have to create a team from scratch and that the champion team will not be able to defend the title in the following split. I would have liked them to protect the champion team, but that’s what Piqu decided and we have to accept it. You want all teams to be equalwhether you are the champion or the last ranked.”

Because on the first day of the market, we could see a devastated Adri Contreras as the signings that were reducing his workforce fell. But without a doubt, The straw that broke the camel’s back was signing Beguer against all odds.

“In the end, I was stung with the buyers, but they came to tell me they were sorry. I told them they didn’t have to apologize, but the only thing was that I asked them if they had signed anyone from my team. and they said no to see my reaction. But obviously these are market things and I’m not going to get mad at them.”

El Barrio’s 230 million to smash the Kings League market

Pabo Beguer’s departure to XBuyer left a sour taste for Adri Contreras who netted the striker almost 75 million. To this should be added the Pau ZZ clause and the other exits due to pacts and exchanges which they make a total of nearly 230 million for El Barrio to be able to rebuild their squad and also break the deal.

“For now we have Kilian and Sergi, Porcinos FC goalkeeper and striker, Arch, entered for Ubn. And the only thing I can tell you about future transfers is that On Monday we’re going to make four additions and two of them are going to be a bomb.”

names like dgar lvaro rings in the minds of many fans, one of the most coveted strikers and to whom Perxitaa and Los Troncos will probably have to say goodbye.

But the ‘press’ of the most humble team and winner of the Kings League, doesn’t want to reveal any surprises and dribble like in one of his TikTok challenges to questions from Víctor Romero, who knew how to extract a little something from him:

  • Q: Does he have two-tone hair and two names?
  • A:
  • Q: Will Jos Jun follow?
  • A: They dismantled our entire team and we still don’t know.
  • Q: Will you be able to sign whoever you want?
  • A: There are two players I had on the draft list who are going to be in the neighborhood.
  • Q: Of the 230 million, how much are you going to spend?
  • A: almost everything
  • Q: One of the four is worth more than 100 million?
  • A:
  • Q: Does it cost more than what they paid for Beguer?
  • A:S

Whatever happens Monday and let us know who are the four signatures who will have to defend the shield who won the first Kings League trophy, Adri Contreras is clear on one thing: “Whether it’s with the team I had before, or with the one I’m going to do now. We will fight to win the Kings League again, We are the champions”.

Never underestimate someone who has left the neighborhood…
