Fernando Torres Announces Retirement From Football by ogbiwa: 5:56pm On Jun 22, 2019 |
Spanish World Cup-winning striker Fernando Torres has announced he is to retire from football. Torres, 35, played at Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea in his 18-year career and is currently at Sagan Tosu in Japan's J1 League. In 110 games for Spain, he scored the winner in Euro 2008 and was on target in their Euro 2012 final win. "After 18 exciting years, the time has come to put an end to my football career," he said on social media. Torres said he will hold a news conference in Tokyo on Sunday to "explain all the details". His career started with Atletico, before a £20m move to Liverpool in 2007, where he scored 81 goals in 142 games. In 2011, he was signed by Chelsea for a then British record transfer fee of £50m. Although he failed to replicate his goalscoring form at Stamford Bridge, he was part of the Blues' Champions League-winning team in 2012. He also won the FA Cup and scored in their 2-1 win against Benfica in the Europa League final in 2013. After 45 goals in 172 games at Chelsea and a brief four-month loan spell at AC Milan, he returned to Atletico in late 2014. He finished on the losing side as Atletico lost the 2016 Champions League final to Real Madrid, but won a second Europa League in 2018 - his final appearance before moving to Japan. Torres, who is Spain's third highest goalscorer with 38, played in six major tournaments including their 2010 World Cup triumph. "During his career he became a legend by his own merits, and left an unforgettable mark both in the field and in the hearts of everyone he worked with," said Atletico. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48715978 5 Likes 1 Share

One of the best strikers i have see in his prime.A good finisher, a dribbler, composed with the ball at his feet and above all very good in the air. Just unfortunate that Liverpool exhausted him before selling the expired remnant to chealse at the rate of £50m. But like thy say law of Kama exist, £40m out of that money went to Andy Carroll. Though they got Suarez from the remaning balance who justified his own. 1 Like |
