Fernando Torres Biography |
||
|
From an early age, Torres developed a bond with Atlético Madrid. His grandfather wasn`t passionate about football in general but prided himself in being an Atlético supporter, and the younger Torres soon inherited his love for the club.
When he was 7, the young Torres started playing regularly in an indoor league for his neighbourhood club, Mario�s Holland, as a forward. Three years later, aged 10, he progressed to playing for an 11-side team, Rayo 13. After an impressive season with his new club, in which he scored 55 goals, Torres was one of three Rayo 13 players who earned a trial with Atlético Madrid. He impressed the scouts and, aged just 11, joined the club in 1995. Biography Credit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Torres |

Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. about Dimitri, a boy he scouted) This boy has a sweet left foot and also has plenty of pace and skill, he is definately one to watch in the near future.

The English game is more physical, too, but it`s nice. It`s end to end, it flows more and it doesn`t stop so often. For the fans and for the players, that`s great. There is a lot of expectation among the fans because of the fee, but all I can do is work and score goals like I did against Chelsea.
