Master the rules before you break them.

How well do Torres and Koke know each other?

Where and when did you meet? FT: Don’t cheat huh… Let’s see those maths… K: Could it be? FT: Oh very well! In 2001. In Cerro del Espino in Majadahonda, Atleti’s training place. K; In an Atleti act FT: You cheated! K: Yes I cheated!

Who arrives later at training? Both: Damn, It’s difficult! K: almost at the same time. FT: Yeah we’re among the 4 players who arrive first. How many goals has scored Fernando Torres this season? FT: I don’t even know myself! … he loves me a lot! Seven, right? K: I take you higher, Niño. [9]

Which Cholo’s exercise Koke likes the least? FT: Damn. But he never complains! That was my doubt!… the intermittents! K: Running around the pitch in circles, it’s almost the same! FT: Yeah those two are the worst. K: You have to run and that’s what I like the least!

Torres’ fave band. K: Torres doesn’t like anything, I think. FT: He doesn’t know, these guys only listen to weird stuff! K: I’m gonna say one of his friends! FT: Oh yeah, it could be. [Dani Martín] … they only listen to reggeaton and that stuff!

If Koke wasn’t a football player, what would he be? FT: I’m not going to say what I’m thinking… K: I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t even know myself! FT: I can’t believe it! [Both write ‘firefighter’] K: You wrote the same, or what!?

Who is Koke’s idol? K: Juninho FT: Vizcaino! Show it to Juan (Vizcaíno, currently into Atleti’s coaching staff). K: We have to show him later!

Who’s Torres idol? FT: [Kiko] K: [Me] FT: That’s now! (pointing at Koke)

“he was serious, focused, technically talented. he was also fun, mischievous, winding people up: he looks like an angel with those blue eyes but he’s the devil.”
