AC Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez spoke exclusively to Milan Channel about Torres as “a very important signing for Milan”, because “he has the right characteristics to do well in a team like Milan”. The Spaniard, also in his first season playing for AC Milan, spoke also about life at Milan, his excellent start to his red-and-black career and why he chose the rossoneri. The Spanish goalkeeper said:

“Fernando Torres is a very important signing for Milan, he has done some important things in his career, his job is to score goals. He is an important player, with experience, he is quick and very strong. He will be very useful for Milan, he has the right characteristics to do well in a team like Milan", he stated in words to Club’s official TV channel.

Diego Lopez has been impressed with Club facilities and staff, as well as Pippo Inzaghi's style of coaching so far. He said: “I have been very impressed with things here at Milanello, everything is so organised and is really amazing. I like the people that work here, Milan and the president really have built a family here. Inzaghi is a real motivator, he will become a great coach, the poeple are behind him both from a professional point of view as well as a personal point of view because he is calm and gives you confidence. It is very important for us to do well against Parma but we also know it will not be easy. We have to play our game. I still don't speak much Italian but I understand everything. Forza Milan!”
