The kids had the chance to learn to shoot with Fernando Torres, thanks to a promotional act of Frosties that was celebrated in the Madrilenian commercial center ‘La Vaguada’. After proving the ‘Kick meter’ with some shots to goal and teaching the kids on how to make a good kicking, the forward attended the mass media. First of all, he emphasized the benefits of the sport activity for the children: "It’s good for children to practice any sport and more if at the same time they enjoy it, like they are doing here today".

About the situation of Atletico he commented: "We expected a better beginning of League. We must win the next two matches to raise positions and stay there above. The objective for this season continues being Europe".

With respect to the next encounter, Torres indicated: "Now come complicated macthes, like the one against Madrid and we can’t fail. We didn’t begin well, but better to fail now than at the end. I hope that we had time to react. After the match against Barcelona, we confused the euphoria with the relaxation".

The forward also analyzed the imminent commitment against Malaga: "It is a complicated game, but they are three very important points. If you don’t play at the maximum level against all rivals you can’t win anyone and the coach has insisted on that. We are prepared to change the results and the first opportunity we have it’s against Malaga ".

The game that the team unfolded against Barcelona is, for Torres, the way to achieve good results: "One week ago we spoke that we were the best ones, and now we don’t do it in that sense. The objectives must be obtained step by step and match by match, we must try to repeat the game played against Barcelona".

Also he thanked the fans for the constant support: "The fans always are with us and the team needs to feel their support from the stands. Our supporters need to have more joys than the ones we give them ".

Finally, there was time to speak of the crucial match that the National Team will play the eighth of October against Belgium: "The match against Belgium is very important for Spain, we hope for a Serbian’s mistake in order to push us up at the top of the group. Later we played against San Mariano, but first it’s necessary to pass the exam against Belgium because we bet on it everything".
