the other side of the screen.

It's hard to believe that behind that restraint and packaging there really is a presenter who loves football -he's a mattress fan to the core-, who loves Oasis and, above all, who knows how to laugh and who laughs.

But not only when it is necessary, but only when

is there .

Facing a news program every night, being the visible face of the news with the highest audience on Spanish television, being the target practically every night of the lethality of social networks, should not be easy.

In the guts of Antena 3: this is how the news programs that have even defeated Homer Simpson are made

It is as if being a news presenter were something secondary, an addition to the work of a journalist, a work that every time

talks about he gives off an absolute vocation and admiration: "Being prepared to cover unexpected news means having a good knowledge of general information topics. For example, with the volcano. Nobody is prepared, but you know something and you can contribute something. I remember January 6, 2021 when the assault on the US Capitol took place, which began a little before the informative. They tell you about it through the earpiece and what we did is release the images and comment on them."

"From the informative point of view,

. When a journalist enjoys the most, it is with something that happens live."

It may not seem so, but the passion that

overflows every time he talks about some of the most important information that he has had to cover in recent years is the best reflection of what it is for

to be a news presenter, but, above all, being a journalist.

It did not happen, and it was not expected either, that the passion would overflow with

against

He is serious by nature, he knows it, he is aware and he admits it: what is most difficult for

, beyond breaking news, beyond an error during a newscast, is knowing which smile to put on when information needs That smile.

Debunking the myth.

And if Vicente Vallés had not been a journalist

"There is a myth about the news presenters," said

.

"It is true that when you tell something serious you have to have a serious face, but it does not mean that we are with that face all day. There you have

who is the nicest man I know. You have to tell things with posture , the appropriate gesture for each piece of information", he added.

But for

it is not easy.

It seems that seriousness and imperturbability are as present as every night's outfit: "(...) One has many defects. There is a very simple one and it always happens to me. Now we are talking and we laugh and talk about making faces, sometimes It is not difficult for me to tell serious news, but it is very difficult for me to put on the correct smile for each type of good news. I have learned to gesticulate because at first I was very tense, "he confessed to

.

However, off the set, far from the CUE, without an earpiece,

does smile, he does let himself go, with limits, but he does let himself, if he is seen outside of that corseting that, with the exception of

, always accompanies newscasters.

"I played soccer before man reached the Moon, so my first vocation was soccer. I have two hobbies: soccer and music. I would have loved to dedicate myself to it, but I had no conditions and I ended up being a journalist",

explained

to

when he asked him about the vocation of being a journalist.

There wasn't a moment, but there was a memory.

Indeed, the night that man landed on the moon.

That night,

's father woke him up, took him out of bed and sat him down in front of the television to watch the historic moment.

The next day, "I learned the names of the astronauts and went to school and told all my classmates."

It was not that day when

realized that he was going to be a journalist.

Actually, he dreamed of being a footballer, a player for Atlético de Madrid, but his lack of expertise led him to become a journalist, then a presenter, then a news leader and then... who knows.

The cost that Vicente Vallés pays every day

"Becoming a news presenter is an important responsibility,"

when he

asked him if being a news presenter is the most "top" thing in the world of journalism.

A responsibility that, as

revealed , is accompanied by costs and a price that

pays every night.

"You have to assume the costs of this responsibility, which are public exposure, criticism and, of course, the possibility of making mistakes," said

.

Aseptic, like when he reports every night, but very direct.

There is a cost, there are criticisms and, although I did not say it, surely there is also wear and tear.

"As soon as you have a critical exposure, there are people who really like what you do, who simply like it, who don't care, who don't like it, and who don't like it at all. There are critics and What you do

. There are those who criticize you and are well criticized. There are people who criticize you with reason and if you are capable of lowering your personal smoke and see that that person has reason is a lesson you have to learn," he said.

And on social networks?

Because if there is a journalist who is harshly criticized every time he appears on television, that is

.

His characteristic closings of the news every night, his editorials so highlighted and so watchword of the night news on Antena 3, cost him a wave of criticism practically every day.

Clairvoyance, reasoning, and that stoic nature that he spoke of earlier keep him grounded, but they also

"In networks there is a lot of hate. That interests me much less.

, then if we have to take it into account and see if we can do it better."

Spot.

It does not go further.

does not live obsessed with audiences.

Of course he looks at the data, of course he sees what could have gone wrong, of course he looks at the person next to him, but in that war for audiences that the press tends to turn into a fight in the mud there is something else that is not seen , who despite being opponents are friends.

As was the case with

and

in their time.

Vicente Vallés

is married to

, presenter of the Telecinco news on weekends.

They do not compete directly, but sometimes due to different circumstances they have had to face each other.

"Sometimes she has won and other times I have won, but at home they don't talk about this," said the presenter.

In fact, although he denies that war for the audiences, he acknowledges that both he and

hide the news they are going to tell.

And there is no war either with

or with

.

"The work you do every day is personal learning, but also what you learn from others. There is anger, but there is also a lot of friendship. With

there is rivalry, but we meet for dinner once a month."

She even discovered that no matter how much he was a news presenter, no matter how serious he was, no matter how impassive he was,

was surprising, and a lot.

Joaquín's trap for Vicente Vallés

He was surprised when

asked him what kind of journalism he would never do.

Obviously, in the minds of the majority would be the journalism of the pink chronicle.

Well no, the journalism that

would never do is the journalism of the news that he did not know: "I would try not to do bad journalism. I could not do journalism of something that I did not know well.

. This is not acquired in 5 minutes, it is the work of many years".

The manipulated: "Luis Suárez, embarrassed, asks

"If the journalist has to be impartial, why are there media that take sides?"

asked .

's response

responds to everything: "Because there are different lines of information and that is good in a democracy. The bad thing is when there is only news to be informed. All points of view contribute something. Even if you like this one more point of view, if you listen to the other they can show you something that you would not have seen".

Even, and to finish off the interview before the masterclass and the debut,

dared to ask

if he has ever felt pressured by politicians and if he has ever seen his job in danger.

I don't think the answer is surprising, but it was surprising that he answered it: "This is part of our profession, that politicians get angry. It's not so much that it happens but that these attempts to condition can be given in beforehand. Some try to condition, well, your You don't let yourself go. It's part of the job (....)
