Comedian, actor, presenter and, as announced on ABC, imminent businessman, Arturo Valls (Valencia, 1975) is a textbook “little shame.” This is how he defines himself and this is how he understands that versatility that has kept him, for 25 years, as one of the most popular faces in the country. -You negotiate everything in life except your Valencianism. He has even participated in presentations of footballers-That cannot be negotiated. I have a good relationship with the club and it has been a pleasure to participate in some of those presentations and meet the players and staff. Be closer to them. -Do we include Lim? -The good relationship is with the communication team and the players. I don’t have any communication with Lim nor do I want to. His lack of interest in the club is absolute. That’s what hurts the fans the most. The lack of affection and commitment. For him it’s just a business. And then we would have to analyze his management, which is a disaster. But the club is much more than him. It’s your people and your team and you can’t turn your back on it in a period as hard as this. -How you can see your beginnings in sports journalism when you analyze the club. -That’s how I started. I really liked sports, but also politics. My first job opportunities came through sports, at a local radio station. Covering the information about Valencia.-And you would be the most objective, I’m sure.-Well, that cost me some displeasure because one has to separate the fan from the journalist. Nothing happens in the local media but, when I was on ‘Caiga Qui Caiga’, covering Madrid-Valencia in a Champions League final, well, one had to be objective and it was very difficult for me. If I had to interview Raúl, I had to do it and hide the anger you had towards him. – That’s where I wanted to go. What happened to you in that Champions League final with Raúl that almost disinherited you? -One of the objectives of the program was to give the program’s glasses to some protagonist. They looked at us with great suspicion at the ‘Caiga Qui Caiga’ journalists, because we always sneaked into places and asked the most uncomfortable question. I managed, with great difficulty, to access the field and I threw the program’s glasses to Raúl. And he put them on. In my family, that was seen as a betrayal. They took it very badly. They wanted me to have thrown them in their faces! – Are you very anti-Madrid or just fair? – Not especially. They are a great team, with a big budget and, sometimes, with arrogance because they know they are champions. The handsome, rich and powerful always looks at himself from below, although Valencia has never looked at him from so low.

I would have gone. That rudeness is a school tantrum. -Fortunately, when push comes to shove, Real Madrid has been able to be there. He has been the first to provide support in the face of the DANA tragedy. – Of course. The rivalry is on the field, the team to beat, with the best players, but, when necessary, the Valencian fan has been supported by the tributes and all the help that has been provided. -Which player would you have liked? be?-Many. George Best (who played very well despite being a party animal) or any of those players who have maintained their loyalty to a club, like Gayá. The typical club players who have not wanted to go to big teams. And then I’m very much into creative, free players… the typical player who makes fun of you, like Ronaldinho or Neymar. Despite the anger you get when you have them as a rival. -Well, Neymar is free in no time. I won’t tell you more…-For Valencia’s forward line it would be fantastic. That Hugo Duro-Neymar, be careful, hey!-Let’s talk a little about tennis, his other confessable vice.-Yes. I almost like it more than football. I follow it, I practice it, I travel to the Grand Slams, I plan based on the tennis event. I only need Australia. I love it.-Do you like it that much?-How I would like tennis because I have two passions. One is to make wood-fired paellas on the weekends and play tennis. Well, I’m going to put both together and I’m going to get a brand of rice. That’s my project. It will be called ‘Rolang Arroz’.

I am already speaking with a Valencian brand, which is going to distribute it and I am already speaking with lawyers and preparing the launch. -Rafa is already retired and Carlos will find a safe place. -I will send a package to Rafa and Carlos so they can advertise for me. -Let’s see if we get back together and can continue. So you share that feeling of orphanhood that invades many of us after Rafa’s goodbye. – Totally. Although, fortunately, we have Alcaraz, who I really like. That more creative, happier but more irregular style. With Rafa, you knew what was going to happen, that it was going to be a fight until the end, epic, wearing down the rival until you crushed him. Carlos’s thing is more unexpected and I like that more, as a viewer. Those great shots… -And you are more Rafa Nadal or more Carlitos Alcaraz, in life? -I am more Carlitos. More creative and less based on sacrifice or effort. I was one of those who studied the day before and always passed, to decorate the answer. To act, to present, I am not the one who thoroughly prepares the scripts. I draw more on intuition and luck. Because all this also has a lot to do with luck. And with this I’m not saying that Carlos doesn’t work, but I am saying that he has that more improvised blow: “now I’m going to try this parallel or I trust more in the drop shot…”. Each of Rafa’s points was thought out and worked on. Let’s go for match-ball. Is Valencia saved? -Of course. The trend is going to change. I am very confident that Baraja will connect, once again, emotionally with the players. Last year, with these players, we almost qualified for Europe. We must regain trust. Plus, it will be more fun: fighting to avoid going down is more exciting than being in the middle of the table.
