• Interview Vasile confirms his departure and exempts the Berlusconis

From

El chiringuito de Jugones

to the new face of

Mediaset

.

This is

Cristóbal Soria

, the former Sevilla field delegate, a full-fledged sports showman, who is now officially the new star of the new

Mediaset

docu-reality :

Maribáñez, the worst team in the world

, which this Tuesday presented the cluster.

A week after the next departure of

Paolo Vasile

from

Mediaset

as CEO -scheduled for February-, the group has shown its first sign of change, at least in terms of content.

This Monday,

Mediaset

sent a mysterious and unexpected press release in which it summoned the media to the presentation of its new docu-reality, with

"surprising protagonists"

.

The bets began to jump.

A new

Las Campos

?

Nothing like it.

Mediaset

's new reality docu-reality

features a soccer team and an unexpected driver:

Cristóbal Soria

.

A project that has been planned since last spring and that will begin recording soon.

"In a place in Andalusia...", is the start of the

Maribáñez promo, the worst team in the world

, in which "El Orejas", a member of the team, tells what

Maribáñez

is, and in which Willy, the goalkeeper , discovers that in

Maribáñez

they are all, "the one who works sweeping the street, we are all Maribáñez. "There is a team in ruin", continues the promo, "that asks for help from a soccer madman...",

Cristóbal Soria

"

I change

Maribáñez from top to bottom".

In other words,

Mediaset

has had the idea in mind for some time, but the latest movements in the network and the audience crisis have probably led to the announcement of the project being brought forward.

"We work on the differential and from the minute they brought us the idea, we loved it," said

Jaime Guerra

, director of production at

Mediaset

, together with

Señor Mono

, the producer in charge of the project.

Maribáñez, the worst team in the world

is a completely different project from the contents of

Mediaset

.

It is a docu-reality in which the Andalusian Third Regional team, with practically no resources, will put themselves in the hands of

Critóbal Soria

, whose presence ensures show and spectacle in abundance, to change the path of the team from

Maribáñe

z, a district of the Sevillian municipality of

Los Palacios and Villafranca

with just over 1,000 inhabitants.

"

Cristóbal

is a guy who arrives and puts all his guts on the table. He says I'm here and I'm willing to help you," said the director of the docu-reality,

Nacho Medina

.

Nacho Medina

is the program director and together with

Cristóbal Soria

"they will tell the story of the players and their experiences to compete in the professional league".

Maribáñez

will try to turn its sporting career around and for this, it will not only have

Cristóbal

Soria

but

Señor Mono

will put at its disposal a team of specialists in sports management, physical preparation, psychology, networks...

Along with

Cristóbal Soria

will also be the one who is considered one of the best sports directors in Europe,

Monchi

, currently at Sevilla.

And with him other football greats like

Iker Casillas

,

Azpilicueta

or

Jordi Alba

.

But Maribáñez, the worst soccer team is not a soccer docu-reality, it is a reality doc that of course focuses on

Maribáñez FC

, but that will also show the life of the town, as explained by Guerra.

"It is a true story of what happens in a town," she has assured.

Because a docu-reality in which football is intermingled with the life of a town, despite being one of the most different projects in

Mediaset

in recent years, could respond to what audience experts point to as a possible solution to the crisis of audience of

Telecinco

: the recovery of the viewers of the time slot over 55 years old, the largest of television consumers.

At the moment,

Mediaset

has not specified on which channel,

Telecinco

or

Cuatro

, the docu-reality will be broadcast or if it will be fragmented into several programs during the week.

"We are going to go beyond the football field, we are going to go to their homes, we are going to see everything," said Guerra.

A team with practically no resources, whose mascot is a donkey called

Socks

, and which is the common thread of the town's life, as Guerra has pointed out.

The vast majority of its population has or has had some link with the

Maribáñez

.

A team where the center forward is somewhat overweight - for that Alicia, the physical trainer, will come - and has five diopters;

where one of its extremes likes nightlife and usually falls asleep on game day;

or where the goalkeeper, almost two meters tall, receives more headed goals than he should.
