Former Spanish international striker Fernando Torres, world champion and two-time European champion with the Spanish team and Atlético de Madrid legend retired a year ago, explained that an active player "has to measure his words a lot" during the presentation of a documentary about his career.

 

“When you are active you have to take care of the details because you know what a statement without evil can cause. You have to measure your words a lot. In this documentary it was time to explain it. There will be no controversial statements, because it is not like I am, but there will be reflections of things that at the time I did not see like that, "explained the former striker in an act by video conference.

 

The 'Niño' Torres, who retired from professional football in August last year in the Japanese Sagan Tosu, will be the protagonist of 'Fernando Torres: the last symbol', a documentary that the audiovisual platform of the multinational e-commerce Amazon will launch on September 18 in Spain and the United Kingdom.

In it, he reviews his career at Atlético de Madrid, his time in England at Liverpool and Chelsea, his brief stint at Italian Milan, his return to the rojiblanco team, his retirement and his successful stage in the national team, with the successes in the 2010 World Cup and the two European Cups in 2008 and 2012.

 

«I have always been very jealous of my privacy, an atypical footballer, I have tried to be on the fringes of the present, of the likes of my teammates, but when one gets older, and has a different vision of things, one realizes that you yourself look for information, documentaries, interviews, ”Torres explained.

 

That interest made him accept the documentary proposal. «We saw the opportunity to explain and reflect on everything that has happened to me, the good and also the bad, that when you are active you don't want it to be known and you get into your bubble. Maybe it was time to tell it, "reflected the former striker.

 

For Torres, the greatest challenge was to "open up" to the cameras of the documentary, including his family and children, who had "never" seen so many cameras, having always been the forward very reserved with his private life.

 

Before the end of the year, the platform will also premiere a documentary on the triumph of the Spanish team in the 2010 World Cup, which marks the tenth anniversary and which for Torres was "the moment they touched heaven", both the players and the Spanish fans.

A success that the striker came to after overcoming a knee injury six months earlier, and injuring himself in the World Cup final itself, in which he participated in the play of the goal that was worth the title, scored by Andrés Iniesta in extra time .

 

«Two months before the World Cup I was on crutches, I fought to be there, I got it, then everything got complicated with the injury, and the day you are world champion you have been injured, you cannot be at the level you wanted, already at you are suffering and enjoying yourself. I would do it a thousand times again, it was my goal, "Torres recalled.

 

The former rojiblanco striker is already preparing for the future, both in the technical field, for which he is completing the coaching course, and in sports management.

 

"Now I am on the coach's card, I am missing the practices that I have not been able to do because the youth competitions have not started down, and next year I want to do the UEFA Pro level. I am also preparing the management side, with several courses and master's degrees to be prepared when one decides to return, if they decide, to the present, "he explained.

 

Regarding whether that future will unite him again with Atlético, 'Niño' Torres was cautious: "Time to time, you have to prepare well, surely the best is yet to come," he said.
