PREDO PROFILES #8: ALEXX

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to Alexx, our first qualifier from the Asian region.

PREDO: Alexx, you qualified for World Cup Predo through the Asian tournament. How do you think you'll make the step up to the global game?

ALEXX: Well, actually I'm just happy to have made it through. Really my main goal is to wow some clubs scouts and secure a 10-year contract with someone like Tranmere Rovers so me and family can escape the oppressive regime of my homeland and get a new telly.

 
PREDO: Top level predo competitors are known for their vicious hazing of new qualifiers. Do you think you can handle this?


ALEXX: No one can ever hate me or criticize me more than I do to myself. I have no self-esteem, nothing can touch me.

PREDO: Do you have a particular strategy that you will employ during the tournament?

ALEXX: Yes.

PREDO: Can you share it?

ALEXX: Yes. First game I will try to guess how many each team scores based on past form. Second game I'll try to put forward a score that it's utterly embarrassing, by the third I'll have lost interest.

PREDO: How important are your support team going into a major tournament like this?

ALEXX: My support team left me for a dentist. Not even a real doctor. I'm on my own here, christ, give me a break already!

PREDO: We look forward to seeing you compete at World Cup Predo, Alexx, no matter what anyone else says.

ALEXX: Thanks, this has been great, can I borrow a tenner till next Tuesday?
