FERNANDO TORRES ABOUT THE PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE. RUMOURS & TIME FOR REFLEXION

His the Golden Boy of Spanish Football, - "The Kid" - FERNANDO
TORRES who is now 23 years of age & all a veteran in professional
football. Young , idolized by teenagers, wanted by big firms to sell their
brands, International with the Spanish squad ...constantly in the media,
gossip press...every move is scrutinized every word is analyzed. The
KID carrys the whole world ( his world) & his club ( with its fans )

totally on his shoulders. At times you think that its a 35 year old
person who is speaking to the camara , but in reality its a kid &

young 23 year old adult.
























The Captain of ATLETICO DE MADRID has been seriously
affected both professionally & personally after experiencing the
steam-rolling effect of FC Barcelona last Sunday & losing at home
0-6. The Captain has taken the "bull by the horns" & has gone out
in public - ONDA RADIO - to speak about the night, talk about
his thoughts & reasons why & the future. Very brave indeed & also
very admirable for such a youngman.

He commented that the 0-6 defeat in the hands of Barça was his worst

moment of all his football carreer. He was critical with his clubs
policy of past years, with the constant changing of players & coaches.
This for him only highlights the little patience ATLETICO has &

the constant search for quick results, are proving to be counter-
productive for the club & for himself.
Torres , "born & breed" at Atletico admits that being chosen
to Captain his side with 19 years of age was a mistake, that this
honour normally goes to players with 26 - 28 years of age. The pressure

is immense, the burden on the shoulders would squash lesser footballers
& the expectations by fans & media overwhemingly difficult at times.
He is the public image of Atletico de Madrid.

Is all this pressure & constant changing within his team, halting
the natural progression & talent of Fernando Torres? Should
such a youngman have to be submitted to such daily & weekly
scrutiny?

There is no doubt of his talent as a footballer, his speed, his
will & determination to lead & score goals ( & some extraordinary
goals at that), but is his professional environment "killing" his
expected trayectory?

As a pure blooded Atletico de Madrid fan, SFS admires the loyalty & the
sincere love for the club of all his footballing life, but Torres should
consider seriously leaving Atletico for greener pastures. As many have
already said & written, Fernando Torres needs to play for a BIG club
were the pressures & responsabilities can be shared between all his
teammates. Torres should find a setting & an place to do only what he
does best, play football & score lots of goals. An environment where

he can still enjoy his youth & energy, as he has plenty of time to mature.
























His last comments are that, he wishes his club to continue with its
current coach Aguirre, that the directives be patient & allow all
involved to build a solid team ( which needs time) & that if Atletico
can secure the UEFA spot, that will be the motivation needed to make
next season a special season. He adds that he sees himself next season
at Atletico & contributing for the team.

If Liverpool, Manchester Utd, Chelsea, Ac Milan, Fc Barcelona & others

had their way, the "Kid" will be playing elsewhere next season. Who knows
his interview with ONDA RADIO may have set up his departure. We all
will have to wait & see what happens in the coming months
