Fernando Torres Bio

One of world football's most feared strikers, Fernando Torres has extensive pedigree for club and country and, while he has suffered from injury, he oozes class when he is on the pitch.
Appropriately for a player nicknamed El Nino ('The Kid'), Torres has set tongues wagging from a very early age. After coming through the ranks at Atletico Madrid he became the club's youngest ever player in May 2001 and was later installed as their youngest ever captain at the age of 19. However, despite his admirable loyalty over a period of six years, Torres was finally lured to Anfield in the summer of 2007 for a fee of around £21.5 million, just weeks after 'You'll Never Walk Alone' was seen inscribed on his captain's armband at Atleti.

Taking the No.9 shirt vacated by Robbie Fowler, Torres adapted seamlessly and scored 33 goals in his first season to surpass the tally set by Ruud van Nistelrooy to become the most prolific foreign debutant in English football. He maintains a hugely-impressive strike rate at Liverpool and his consistently electric performances in his three seasons at Anfield have seen him become one of world football's finest players.

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.

Quotes: "When you talk about the Premier League you talk about a lot of players with quality so it is not easy to pick just one, but he is among the best." Rafael Benitez, September 2009.

Trivia: Torres actually started off as a goalkeeper in his early days but quickly became a formidable striker, being named the best Under-14 player in Europe following his performances at the 1998 Nike Cup.

God’s Presence

Imagine that a star fell from the sky and this great white light entered our atmosphere and instead of burning up, it came to rest in your living room. Out of this light came a voice. It began to call your name.

This is probably how Moses might have felt when he came face to face with God’s direct presence. Every person gives off some kind of energy—not in a creepy way, but just in the sense they have some enthusiasm or “presence” and you can feel it when you are in the room with them.

Imagine the force of presence of a billion people were all rolled up into one single being, standing in front of you. That is what it might be like to be in the presence of God. Day and Night He is worshipped.

But it doesn’t stop there. God’s primary identity is not just that He is worshipped. 1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love. If there is one powerful, overlooked book in the Bible, it might be Song of Songs. It’s all about romantic love. It doesn’t hardly even mention God. What is it doing in the Bible?

Many scholars believe it is an allegory of God’s love. Not just for Israel, or Christians, but for you and I specifically. This is real. This is where we begin to see what it’s all about. God, who has the power to create laws of nature and all the objects in space, who knows all—He is in love with us. With you. He loves you more than the lovers in Song of Songs love each other. Romantic love is just a shadow of divine love, from which it takes its value.

We look forward to an eternity in Heaven where we will be more in love with God than any two people have ever been in love with each other on Earth. This is why we, the church, are referred to as the Bride of Christ (Revelation 21:9) and why there is no marriage in Heaven (Matthew 22:29-30). But it’s more than that because everything we know now about love is accurate, but it is far incomplete because, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:12-13

The greatest of these is love. God’s love for you will remain. It will be like if the entire Pacific Ocean from here to Japan passed through your soul in one instant, but it is perfect love and it will last forever.

God loves you. Just the way you are. Right now. You don't have to do anything good to make Him proud because He is proud of you already.
