The unexpected profession José Luis Sánchez would have chosen if he hadn't been a journalist

José Luis Sánchez revealed some aspects of his life in an interview for 'El Mundo'

José Luis Sánchez is known for his incisive perspective on soccer and his direct style as a sports journalist. However, in a recent interview, he revealed a lesser-known side: his passion for architecture. If he hadn't followed the path of journalism, Sánchez would have dedicated himself to designing spaces that reflected his aesthetic and functional vision of the world.

Since he was young, José Luis Sánchez showed an interest in structures and design. Although his career took him in other directions, he never abandoned his love for architecture. In his words, architecture represents a form of artistic expression that combines creativity and technique, a discipline that would have allowed him to leave a tangible mark on the urban environment.

His education in communication provided him with tools to observe and analyze the environment, skills that, according to him, would be transferable to the field of architecture. Sánchez highlighted the importance of understanding the context and the needs of people when designing spaces, a perspective he considers essential both in journalism and in architecture.

José Luis Sánchez still keeps that passion in mind

Although his career took him down the path of journalism, José Luis Sánchez keeps his passion for architecture alive. In his free time, he enjoys exploring iconic buildings and studying architectural blueprints, activities that allow him to stay connected with his alternative vocation.

In summary, José Luis Sánchez is a journalist who, at the same time, harbors the dream of being an architect. His story is a reminder that passions can coexist and that, sometimes, the path not taken also defines who we are.

His words when asked about Florentino Pérez

In the interview he gave for "El Mundo", José Luis Sánchez was also asked about the figure of Florentino Pérez. More specifically, the journalist from "Jugones" answered the following question: "Does Florentino pay some Madridist journalists?"

"No, he doesn't pay us. That's more urban legend than reality, coming from antis who don't know how Real Madrid works. Nowadays, communication with the club is minimal; it's not just that they don't give us money, it's that they don't give us instructions", he commented.

"What happens with good management is that, surprisingly, it puts you in the spotlight. If Real Madrid had Barcelona's management, with levers for registrations, the government involved, or the Negreira case, they would have shut down or would be relegated to the Second Division", he concluded.
