Two draws have been the story so far, one of them a respectable result in the Camp Nou.
But today Atleti knew to impress indeed with a 4:0 crushing of Mallorca at the island. Main man behind this success was young gun Fernando Torres, who stepped up to show what he's able to do, scoring 2 goals. Atleti-offence Veteran Correa and Jorge were the other scorers.
I myself am kind of an admirer of the red-white side (well, everything Anti-Real ;) ) and therefor happy to see them on a way back to the top where they belong. :star:

Anyone got some info on this Torres kid? Height, weight, age type of striker, what side he plays one? Is he better than Reyes of Sevilla?

C. At. De Madrid is the only club I actually like in Spain.

Well ... I once read an interview with Torres. In the article they wrote he's compared to the young Raúl. Therefor they asked him if he may once leave Atletico de Madrid for Real Madrid or another club, and he answered: "My grandad tought me that there's only one club which happens to be Club Atletico de Madrid". :star: I love loyal players.

Itīs nice to see Atletico back where they belong, so we can stuff them in the Madrid derby =P

About Fernando Torres, he is 18 right now, 1,81 meters and 78 kilos. I liken him to a young Raul too, but with better heading skills (thatīs my impression). About the comparision with Reyes, I donīt really know who is better, since they have different characteristics. Reyes is more of a support striker, while Torres is a natural goalscorer. In fact, they were the forward couple for the Spain U-19 team that recently won the European Championship.

Since we use feet/inches for height and pounds for weight here in the States, i'll just assume he's Raul's size.

As was mentioned before he is a little under 6 feet tall or around there. He is a bit skinny but he is certainly bigger than Raul.

Reyes and Torres are completely different players. Not really a valid comparison but they do play well together (perhaps the Spanish NT pairing of the future?).

For all his promise and skill, he's a little cheat ! 4 bookings in successive games for DIVING. And he managed to get a Recreativo player sent off in their last game, in which he again dived. He always falls over theatrically and tries to get others sent off. He aint no angel

I thought Inzaghi was the worst offender, but this guy equals him ! As the Recreativo chairman said "Torres is an actor, he belongs in a theatre rather than a football pitch"

I hope he cleans up his act

How is At Madrid doing?

At the moment I would say they're heading for a place in the midfield of the table, but they got the potential for more so a european spot is still in the cards for them. :)

It sounds like Gil and Futre had it out and the relationship between the two isn't good. This won't bode well for the club.

Thatīs baaad. The last thing Atletico needs is off-field hassle. Theyīve had plenty on recent seasons.

Can't wait to see Real-Atleti derbys of this season.
Definitely one of the most passionate derbys in the world.
Ofcourse Atleti is an anti-Real club(as all:D)but i can't support a Madrid club.

Can't wait for that derby as well. It's way more attractive then the Roma-derby for example. :star: (right, ItalianBoy? ;) :D )
