"I was always calling me wanting to tell stories."

Ruben Uria is one of the best sports journalists in this country. is editor of the sports website Cadena COPE, regular commentator Popular TV, goes to "The Hall of Fame " Manage Radio and collaborator of EUROSPORT. You can read his blog: http://es.eurosport.yahoo.com/futbol/ruben-uria/
discovered your blog searching the Internet one day. From that moment, I visit every day and I read articles from top to bottom. Search and defending the truth. Love of his profession, does not change, nor recommend it to others. Humble head to toe, you can now find out why.


What age did you start to think about becoming a sports journalist?
Ever since I started talking, because he kept going back and forth with a pencil or a pen in hand, doing it was a microphone. I was always calling me wanting to tell stories. It is a disorder early going. This has left.

Where do you begin to develop your skills as a journalist?
Well I remember my first job was at Radio Villalba, where we made a magazine in the morning. As I pulled the sport, started in Onda Cero Radio with people like JJ Brotons, Valentín García Martín and Edu. Very good people, I keep a great memory of that

Of all the great articles you've written. Which would you choose?
Well, honestly, I do not have written a great article. Those who write well in this country and everyone knows who are teachers and Samano, Segurola or JC Iglesias, among others. I try to learn. I have a special affection for "The Party of Death ." It was hard to write and in the end, I think it was good.

writing with José Joaquín Brotons, "Football is like that." Feel like soon to write another book about the sport?
Well, I like a lot, so we are, with some discussion with publishers, but there is nothing definite. If so, I will inform you. But I would like.

What is the most beautiful of journalism? And what I most dislike?

The most beautiful of journalism is to tell a story that many people do not know or they just thought they could be otherwise. The best thing is to tell stories. The worst thing is everything else.

Who are they to you the best journalists in this country?
Segurola Santi is a reference. Ramon Besa, Samano, Luis Martin, Marti Perarnau, JC Iglesias, Alejandro Delmas, Fermin Street, there are many ...

Today, what it takes to be a sportswriter for real?
be free. And it seems easy, but it is complicated. Here almost all the world "belongs to a block." And that, in terms of telling the truth or something that looks very much the truth is complicated. Companies too tight and journalists fought recently, that's the truth.

Have you had or have a reference as a journalist?
always wanted to be like José María García. As I grew older and did not want to José María García. And now I understand that one can only aspire to be yourself.

What is the best gift (your profession) have you done?
All those e-mails, cards, comments and criticisms of many people who, for some strange reason, wasting your time reading me. It is incredible to see that there are many people that follow me and, above, think I'm good. I have deceived them, really. Seriously the affection of the people is best.

For many people, you are one of the few good and honest journalists in Spain. What do you think of this? Is the media manipulated?
The press is not manipulated, but many journalists have been given to manipulation. And those journalists want to manipulate the truth. As for many people I am honest, I'm glad it well and I hope you continue to think. Credibility is the critical factor in any journalist. If you lose credibility, you lose everything.

Do you keep special memories any interview you've done?
The exclusive interview I did with Zidane on my birthday. For foreseeing and have a beer, we closed a full bar for us and 5 minutes into the interview, the bar owner came with his wife and three sons, he signed autographs. Zizou of course, they were signed. And the next day gave him a shirt.

What person would you want to interview and have not yet had the opportunity?
A Muhammad Ali, but I think I will die without being able to do so. To I was the greatest of all athletes. A pity that the new generation of young English people did not even read anything about him. In fact, not journalists lose a minute to read about it.

for you What is the essence of journalism?
tell the truth, be independent, not bow to pressure or blackmail. There are.

Apart from the situation with the board, What is wrong with Atletico to be more consistent? Or are all derived from the same place, the directive?
Atletico has two problems that last 24 years. First problem, Miguel Angel Gil. Second problem, Enrique Cerezo.

What changes would you at Atletico to become the team that should be in keeping with the fans you have?
The only possible change is that the fans of Atletico required. If you want to leave, to be told. And if they continue to suffer 24 years Gilifato, to continue silent and submissive.

Who has been the best player in the history of Atlético? And now, who held the position of team's best player?
Many, Ben Barek, Garate, Luis, Peiró, Collar, Sunday, Futre ... many. For me the best player Kun Aguero Atletico is, by far. It's amazing that someone of his stature continue thinking about this team champion, instead of signing him good players, is passing.

Luis Enrique Is a good choice to replace Quique Flores?
We must wait. However, any coach that I have come to Atletico oil with this directive. If the team does well, and will sell the good to pay off the bad guys. If it goes wrong, you throw them and they will stay. So does the issue of Gilifato.

What is the club which makes it the best team in the world?
A silk football, a club model and exemplary spiritual leader, Pep Guardiola. I think that Barca, except by going into self-destruction process is intended to mark a time of many years of being the best.

We could see Djokovic beat Nadal in Madrid Masters final, specializing in Nadal, clay. What happened to Nadal to do with the Serbian victory, and therefore, with the title?
Rafa, a No. 1 on and off the track, the phenomenal and humbly said: "I'm having a great season but, simply, someone is doing better." It's that simple.

The Alonso last season, ie since leaving Renault for the first time, not being any good. It is Indeed, most (or even all) has the car. But are we at the official decline Alonso?
I do not think you will recover and when I have the car to keep up, fight for victory. Alonso has a gift, a natural. That is never lost, or forgotten.

Do you remember the details of any fan who surprised you?
A woman of 80-odd years in a bar, stopped a conversation we had about Mourinho and I stopped short: "Hello son is that you?". I told him I was confused and she said: "No, I'm not confused. You are Ruben Uria, the journalist. " I know I let dry, so we invite you to a coffee and there stood the woman, talking football with us, the sea of \u200b\u200bcontent.

Is losing the essence of soccer referees with such controversy, complaints and so on?
of conspiracies Yes, this is boring. People do not understand how the issue is not blase referees. What horror.

Víctor Valdés Is the best goalkeeper in the world? What do you think about it?
Valdés is on track to be, because every year further enhanced. He has great reflexes, control, placement and now after his paternity, a lot more security and poise on and off the field. Showing. It is a bulwark for Barca.

Selection is champion of Europe and the world. Apart from the quality of players and coaching staff, what did you get that far, when, some years ago this was unthinkable?
A unique generation of players, a generation of kids who knew nothing of historical complexes and, moreover, are good people.

Which players incorporated into the selection ? ;
I tend to mostly agree with the lists of Vicente del Bosque, really. While I believe that within a few months I'd like to see the evolution in the selection of players who will be the team's future: Thiago or Muniaín in a few months, I wish they were in the selection.

What is the best football match you've seen?
Mexico 1970 World Cup Semifinal: Italy 4-Germany 3, Beckenbauer extension and arm in a sling. In football modern, a 4-Barça Atlético 3 (three of Romario, league) and a 5-Atletico Barça 4 (four goals Pantic Cup).

For you, what would be the starting ideal?
Currently, the best football team I've seen is the FC Barcelona. Is Spain more Alves and Messi, the best that can be seen today. A show.

A tip for future journalists.
Sorry, but I repeat: Do not engage in this. If they can do anything better. You must be very wrong roof for wanting to be a journalist. It's advice. Clear that I was told the same thing, I got the same advice, and ended up here.
