An exultant and hoarse Fernando Torres went through the press room after achieving his first victory in the First Federation with Atlético B. The team from Fuenlabrada won at Alcorcón , one of the top teams in the category and one of the recently relegated teams, and the coach made his point of view clear. The Madrid native showed enormous satisfaction at defeating a team like the Alfarero, and even more so at home.
For Fernando Torres , this was not just another game, and he proved it when he tried to turn around a 2-0 deficit with the changes, and he managed to do so. Atlético de Madrid B took a breath and got out of the bottom of the table, moving up to the middle of the table. But it was not only important for "El Niño", but also for some players like Ale García, who scored his first goal, or Javi Boñar , who was the hero of the night.
The Fuenlabrada coach praised the internal competition of his squad: "The internal competition of the players is what makes the team a great team," explained Torres . "I have known Boñar for three years, I have spent three years with him. He is an extraordinary boy, an extraordinary footballer, who has skipped many processes in the academy," he said.
Torres praised Boñar
Torres revealed a conversation with the hero of the match: "I was just talking to him yesterday, there are moments in football when you have to wait. When you know that the coaches and the technical staff trust you and you don't play, it's difficult for a player to accept it. It's simply a moment in his career when he has to wait for his chance," he explained.
The coach wanted to give a message to Boñar : "He had the chance, he made the most of it, and that's football, his teammates were chanting his name in the locker room. Because that's what we try to convey, being a family. We're all going to have to suffer, we always have to have people close by, and when you have the opportunity and you're prepared, good things happen," said the Madrid coach.
Torres' self-criticism
His changes were decisive, but Fernando Torres does not stop there: "So, a coach has to make changes, and changes are what change the face of the game a little. Obviously it is the coach's responsibility not to have gotten it right at the start, and the players' responsibility not to have given what one asks for," he said frankly.
Atlético de Madrid B have had a tough and turbulent start to the season, having failed to get three points in a row until visiting Santo Domingo . The red-and-whites lost their debut against Atlético Sanluqueño with a controversial penalty, and later drew in Alicante against Intercity. Back at home, an unexpected defeat against Antequera set off all the alarm bells.
But after the visit to the Municipal de Santo Domingo they come out with their heads held high, after coming back from 2-0 down and winning in Alcorcón . Javi Boñar 's participation was key with the 2-2 and 3-2, and the entrance of Omar Janneh gave the team some air in attack and assisted on the third goal.
