* Full Name: Fernando Torres * Nick Name: El Nino * Squad No: 9 * Position: Forward * Age: 26 * Birth Date: Mar 20, 1984 * Birth Place: Fuenlabrada, Madrid * Height: 6' 1'' (1.85m) * Weight: 174 lbs (78.7 kg) Strengths: A born goalscorer, Torres possesses all the attributes needed by a world-class striker. He is quick, strong, impressive in the air, blessed with expert technique and is cool and collected in front of goal as well as having an eye for the spectacular. Weaknesses: The suspicion remains that Torres can be distracted from his task by some physical attention from defenders, while he can be isolated if service is not forthcoming. Career high: Scoring the winning goal in the Euro 2008 final against Germany as Spain ended their lengthy wait for a trophy on the international stage. Career low: Failing to help Atletico Madrid regain their place in the Spanish top flight on the final day of his first season in the first team. Atleti's slogan, conceived after their relegation the previous season, of 'One Little Year In Hell' had to be quickly scrapped. Style: Clinical, classy, deadly, the complete striker.
