My Take
Torres is one of those strikers I will always defend, even after the goals dried up. The teenage El Nino tearing through defenses for Atletico was pure, instinctive joy, and his clinical edge at Liverpool felt unstoppable for a couple of seasons. What interests me now is the second act: a man who reached the summit as a player choosing the grind of coaching Atletico's B side. That takes humility most former stars lack. I rate him less for his trophy haul and more for that boyish refusal to stop running. He carried a rare blend of speed, height and composure, and Spanish football was richer for it.
