holladios Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Obligatory disclaimer: This news report is largely fictional, composed from various fan comments and the whims of our imagination in an attempt to inspire a sense of realism through our reporting. While we do our best to keep things reasonably neutral, this report is in no way intended to be a completely bias-free representation of the parties involved, nor does it claim to provide critical analysis of past and potential outcomes from qualified Altador Cup experts. If professional analysis is what tickles your fancy, take a look at our predictions (global/daily). With this year’s Altador Cup already into its first few days, fans around the globe wait patiently to see how their team will perform each day. Despite her busy schedule, The Daily Neopets was able to land an interview with Kreludor’s team captain, Derlyn Fonnet. This team captain managed to lead Kreludor to a stellar second place in last year’s tournament. In our exclusive interview Fonnet opens up about Kreludor’s past, present, and future. Ladies and gentlemen, I have the pleasure to be in the presence of the gorgeous Derlyn Fonnet. Would that happen to be Mrs. Fonnet or perhaps Ms. Fonnet? Fonnet: Uhm… is that a serious question? Absolutely, I’m sure that I am not the only individual to ponder such a thought. Fonnet: Right, Ms. Fonnet will do… and what exactly does this have to do with the Altador Cup? Oh, yeah, the Altador Cup! What about it? Fonnet: Well, it has just started… aren’t you supposed to be interviewing me? It’s my pleasure. I mean yes! Yes of course, on with the interview! Fonnet: … Ms. Fonnet, the proof is in the pudding. Kreludor has had two consecutive finishes in the top tier. What is the secret behind the team’s success? Fonnet: Well, I suppose it’s not just one thing. Perhaps a combination of many different variables that come together to form the perfect unit on the court. Although I would have to say that passing, and speed are our primary strengths. Two years in a row in the top tier and still no gold for Kreludor. How is team morale heading into this year’s competition? Fonnet: Morale has never been better. You would think that a team who has had two shots at the gold would be starting to lose momentum. Not us, we have the best fans in all of Neopia. Negativity leads to defeat, and defeat is not an option. I think it’s fair to say that it takes a strong team to gain victory, but an even stronger team to accept defeat. How does team Kreludor remain composed in the face of defeat? Fonnet: We don’t allow ourselves to sit around and stew upon our woes. Instead we take to the nearest court and work on our weaknesses. For example, our left forward, Qlydae Wegg, has an issue with concentration. The other day we gave him a copy of the Neopian Dictionary and forced him to read it while sitting next to three Spyders. He is terrified of Spyders. So am I… Anyways, with competition having already started what would you say is Kreludor’s strategy this year? Fonnet: Without revealing too much, I would say that playing to our strengths will be crucial this year. We have always been successful at moving the ball around and catching our opponents off guard. The ability of surprise should never be underestimated. If we can maintain that same element of surprise going forward then you may as well hand over the gold now. How do you think Kreludor will fair in this years competition? Fonnet: Lets be honest, the competition is stiff this year. There are several different teams who have the potential to give us a run for our money. However, if we can implement the changes we have been working on properly, no team will be able to stand between the cup and team Kreludor. Changes? Fonnet: Yes, changes. As team captain I am a firm believer that change is only good if it makes things better. Our changes are not in might or agility, but rather in trust and ambition. We have never wanted the cup more than we do now. Wonderful, I appreciate your time. Speaking of which, I was wondering if you had plans later toni- Fonnet: That will do! Now if you will excuse me! Well you heard it here first folks. Ms. Fonnet is single! Uh, I mean single as in Kreludor’s only team captain! Oh well… I am sure that Kreludor will be one to watch this season as always.

voteforpedro333 Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Looks like the team captains are always getting hit on, haha. Derlyn has some great hair though. I have total respect for Kreludor, and I definitely want to see them on top this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
