Everyone in Spain knows Manolo el del bombo. But when you are 6,000kms from the motherland and everyone is trying to snatch a picture with the Spanish Football team most famous fan, that’s when you truly realise the pull this fellow really has.


Manuel Cáceres Artesero, better known as “Manolo el del bombo”, has spent some 40 years drumming up support for the national team as he himself admits. In that time he has become known as the most familar face of the national team and recent success of the team has catapulted his popularity.

We were witness #throughglass to the #LetsGoFootball fever that he generates, in this case, in Washington DC this week.

ps. There’s a fine piece, albeit a few years old, in more detail about Manolo el del Bombo in Sid Lowe’s report in The Guardian.

Ahead of the squad’s game against El Salvador, we had the opportunity to savour the atmosphere among visting RFK stadium USA fans of the Spanish Team in Washington DC during the training session.


There were long queues and lots of expectation in the air around the stadium. The youngest supporters stood out among the fans as the most excitable had queued from early on to catch a glimpse of their idols.

These american children, of spanish parents, have a passion and a love of colour worthy of any national supporter. La Roja has transcended borders and everyone wants to be part of the success of our team.

We took the opportunity to have chat with them and ask for their support to the Spanish squad #throughglass #LetsGoFootball.

Last monday on the official flight with the Spanish National Football Team from Spain to Baltimore, USA, we held a friendly interview with the journalist Juanma Castaño weighing up the chances of la Roja for the World Cup.

And why not, we both conducted the interview #throughglass.


Of course, it will not be the first time we talk pure football over the next few weeks.

If you want to get on aboard with us, stay tuned to the hashtag #LetsGoFootball y #LaSeleccionPorDentro both on Google+ as in Twitter and via the Twitter account of our Droiders embedded Glass Explorer Reporter, Alejandro Loza @alesonline.

Transcription multi Glass de #letsgofootball nº1

Due to the noise levels on the plane, we will leave you with a transcription of the conversation.

AL – ¿Do you feel the players are tensed up, that they are stiff, which is what you just said, that all that pressure is on their shoulders and it seems you meant to say that it wouldn’t be a failure to not win this World Cup, do you sense that?

JC – No, I think they are still in the mode of how their team season has been, it’s been really tough for all involved, and I suppose that from now they will get in the World Cup groove, but I don’t think the pressure affects them that much as they come from big clubs, they are very used to that, I think in that respect they are well rehearsed to it.

AL – Alright, and the last one, what is your precidction for the group stage, as we’ve got the group of death?

JC – Well, everyone says that the danger is Chile, so I’ll go along, that the danger is Chile, I don’t know, in my mind we are better than Holland that’s for sure…

AL – Have you thought anything of Van Gaal, some tactic, something that they’ll do just against us?

JC – Holland is, based on what we’ve seen, far worse than the Holland of the last World Cup final, and Spain isn’t not much worse than that World Cup Final. Chile is an unknown, and Australia is well inferior, I think that in the group stages, we shouldn’t have any problems, in theory, but it’s very importatnt to start off well, eh.

AL – Do you think the team that yields a point to Australia will be the one of three that get’s left behind?

JC – That’s a possiblity, but I trust that we win the first game against Holland because that will inevitably give you…

AL – Will set the cast…

JC – Yeah, to win the first game gives you…a real boost

AL – OK, then top of the group..

JC – For sure, if only..

AL – Alright then

JC – Cheers.

¡WHACK!

The day to day life of the World Cup champion squad will be documented during the most important football event on the planet ever witnessed.

World Cup tournament Calendar with Droiders

In addition we have a calendar of actions lined up with Google Glass full of surprises that we will reveal on this blog giving you the full inside story.

Furthermore we will support the hashtag #LaSeleccionPorDentro, so fans can have the opportunity to send through their questions about pictures, videos and other that we publish wearing Google Glass.

For example, players changing rooms, arrivals at different venues, training sessions, pre and post game moments, etc.

Readers of this blog will enjoy preferential access for such requests as we have devoted a separate server alone to be up to the task and travel with SeFutbol during the whole tournament and the friendly warm up stage.

So if you’re curious to get up close with the Spanish squad and pose a question to the champions, use the comments to send me your requests and I will pass them directly only ;) #throughGlass.

 

As you can imagine I will generate exclusive content for this blog on Droiders and their readers. I hope to bring your the best inside perspective via Google Glass and show you never before seen angles and coverage that ordinary media cannot obtain.

I will be the official Droiders reporter during the summer football tournament.

The journey has already begun, and as I write I am in the AVE en route to Sevilla with the Team to take part in the friendly to be played today, 30th May in the stadim Sánchez Pizjuan in the Andalucian capital.

As a taster I will leave you with this exclusive video of the arrival of the players to the Santa Justa station where I held a brief chat with the journalist from “Radio Marca” Javier Amaro, who recently has published a book writtern with four other journalists about Don Vicente del Bosque.


Follow the daily goings on of La Roja from this blog, you’ll be in for a surprise.
