  • Courtship Sara Carbonero and Nacho Taboada already live together: this is their new life

  • Fernando Alonso relationships: a friendlier, more mature and single podium

Good nights and good goals (

Base editorial) seems like a book only about sports journalism, but this journey that journalist

Felipe del Campo

takes about "the best profession in the world", also discovers a story of crushes, love affairs and relationships that come together or They fall apart because of the job.

Without going any further, the author himself had Cupid's call after an interview with a Sevillian woman 14 years younger than him, with whom he has two children, adding one from his previous marriage.

He tells it in this book that is close to the second edition and that reviews the ins and outs of sports journalism of the last three decades from his own experience.

The presentation in Madrid was attended by the Minister of the Presidency

Félix Bolaños

, who coincided at the event with Pedro Sánchez's former ideologist,

Iván Redondo

.

The president of Atlético de Madrid, Enrique Cerezo, also did so and he met one of the last times before presenting his surprising resignation to the head of sports of the Government, Víctor Francos.

Gonzalo Miró or the bullfighter El Fundí also attended and three generations of journalists presented the event:

Josep Pedrerol

,

Alfredo Relaño

(former director of As) and

Miguel Quintana

(Radio Marca and Dazn)

Remember

Good Night and Good Goals,

Sara Carbonero

's debut

on television.

Del Campo was her director of Minute and result (La Sexta), she was hired from Radio Marca.

"She was discreet, simple and eager to learn. From the beginning her image ensured a television impact and after some logical initial nerves, she saved her debut with flying colors in a Valladolid-Levante team. A few weeks later, she already had an offer from Cuatro to go with

Los Manolos

".

She continued on the green network and it was at that stage when

Iker Casillas

first laid eyes on that presenter with the striking look from La Sexta Deportes.

His first television partner,

Patxi Alonso

, who at that time had a good relationship with Iker, introduced them.

Sara, very dedicated to her job, and focused on her work, initially preferred to keep her distance, but the goalkeeper of Madrid and the National Team did not give up and only three years later, what started sports journalism, consecrated them the profession with that kiss from interviewee to interviewer after the World Cup final in 2010.

Without his time on the

Minuto yResult

and La Sexta Deportes programs, Casillas would not have met Carbonero, and the story of the prince and Cinderella after the first pumpkins would not have been produced.

A text that also highlights the breath of fresh air of

Lara Álvarez

, which was released when the author of the book was directing Marca TV and that her presence on TV immediately caught the attention of the soccer player

Sergio Ramos

and the pilot

Fernando Alonso

.

In her first year, Lara presented the bells and filled the weekend afternoons with her smile like just another soccer fan.

She says that in the makeup room after the initial casting she already approved her first contract.

Marca TV was a niche quarry because Lara's partner was

Melisa Jiménez

who, a motor expert, first got into the car of her husband

Marc Bartra

and now in that of Fernando Alonso, her current boyfriend.

It is striking how

Lucía Villalón

, current wife of Almería soccer player

Gonzalo Melero

with whom they have a son, began her career as a sports television presenter in the middle of the crisis after the breakup with the Mexican star

Chicharito

.

The former Real Madrid soccer player, in the middle of their romance, left Villalón alone, returned to her ex, and Lucía, like a good professional, took refuge on the set and with another soccer player who adores her.

This weekend there will be a special thrill for her when her husband visits the Bernabéu pitch to play against Madrid in the Almería shirt.

She will tell it on Movistar.

Cover of the book 'Good night and good goals'.

There is also prominence among male sports journalists.

Felipe del Campo, personal friend of

Santi Burgoa

, current partner of

Vanesa Romero

and ex of

Alba Carrillo

, reveals that he was already breaking hearts.

"A gallant who wreaked havoc on the Madrid night newsrooms."

In short, it is a book of love... of love for a profession that has turned many hearts on and off because of the spotlight.

Good night and good goals.
