He told Radioestadio Noche:  "I'm not afraid of anything, I achieved everything as a footballer and now as a coach I want to try.

"Hopefully one day they'll choose me to be the first-team coach, if I keep doing my job well. But right now my motivation and my dream is to go and train tomorrow with the Madrid team."

Torres added, "I would like to be the coach I would have liked to have had. A coach who listens, who learns from the players and the different generations.

:With Luis Aragonés, I understood many things he told me four years later when we met again with the national team. He talked to me about the media, about being a good teammate. Without realising it, I think I've always been prepared for the spotlight."
