El Nino Torres
"Atlético is my only home"
"A lot has happened since Fernando Torres scored the goal that gave Spain the victory in the 2008 Euros. Around that time, Spain’s no. 9 was one of the deadliest strikers in the world, with a pedigree forged by fire at the Santiago Calderón and with a growing icon status encouraged by of one of football’s most charismatic set of fans, Liverpool’s. He switched Anfield for Stanford Bridge during the cold winter, and as if a curse had fell upon him right then and there, things haven’t been the same for him ever since. Instead of individual success, he chose to have a handful of prized titles at Chelsea. It didn’t turn out to be all that bad in the end, but now, at 30, and after seven season in England, the only thing he wants is to get back that old forgotten starting place, without feeling the obligation to prove anything to anyone. The gates of San Siro are now opened for him to be great again."
Some other quotes from the interview:
"I’m really proud of the fact that my son’s birth certificate says he was born in Liverpool."
"A.C. Milan had tried to signed me once before when I played for Atlético. It’s as if fate had this in store for me and was waiting to see me play at San Siro."
"Instead of voting for political parties, we should be able to vote for individuals. Nowadays politicians have rightfully earned people’s distrust and disdain."
