Torres press conference"You know you'll compete with the best in the world once you play for Real Madrid"Miguel Torres is very much aware that the only way he's going to accomplish his goals is by working hard. During today's press conference, the defender talked about learning from teammate Sergio Ramos, "one of the best players in the world." Did you know that Raúl sleeps in a special bed? The first I heard of it was what I read in the news. I've never been to his house and didn't know about it, but send me one if you want me to try it out.Why might a footballer be interested in a special bed?It supposedly improves an athlete's performance, but I don't have any proof that Raúl has one. I assume it helps him, and anything that helps a player's output is a good thing. You do realise that you're going to have trouble playing on a regular basis, don't you?I knew that the club really went out on a limb to keep me and that things wouldn't be the same as last year. There are great players on this squad and it's hard to play on a regular basis, but I am young and have plenty of patience. I have to work hard to convince the coach and take full advantage of every opportunity I'm given.

Does the rotation system benefit you?It's important that the coach thinks I am fit and able to play. I have started finding my name on squad lists and little by little am getting playing time. All I have to do is train harder and harder. Is it hard when Bernd Schuster only uses you as a right-back, where Sergio Ramos is playing now?This year the coach only wants to use me as a right-back, when last year I played every defensive position. I can still play on the left, right, or in the centre. Sergio Ramos is the best winger in Spain and one of the best players in the world. I have to work very hard. Do you think it's a little crazy to consider Spain the favourite to win the Euro?No, as a Spaniard I have always thought Spain can win it. The team is comprised of great players. I think they are in great shape right now and that they'll be peaking when the Euro rolls around.

Your thoughts on all the injuries stemming from international duties...Playing for your national team is always an honour, and we know that we are more at risk of getting hurt when we play more matches. Fortunately, they aren't serious injuries and they should recover quickly. Have you thought about leaving the team?You know you'll compete with the best in the world once you play for Real Madrid. Of course you will look for an exit option if you can't deal with the situation. I made a tough call and have always dreamed of succeeding at Real Madrid. I know it's hard to compete against Sergio and Michel because they are both elite players. I have to continue working hard and taking advantage of the opportunities I get.By Arancha Díaz Photos by Alejandro GonzálezTranslation by Matthew Goltz

托雷斯新闻发布会“一旦为皇家马德里效力，你就知道自己会和世界上最优秀的球员竞争”米盖尔·托雷斯很清楚，只有通过努力训练才能够实现他的目标。在今天的新闻发布会上，这名后卫谈到了向队友拉莫斯学习：“他是世界上最好的球员之一”。你知道劳尔有一张特殊的床吗？我是从新闻上才第一次看到这个消息的。我从来没去过他家，所以对这个也不太清楚，但如果你们想找人试用的话，可以给我弄一张。为什么足球运动员会对一张特殊的床感兴趣呢？看起来那床的作用是提升运动员的表现，但我并没有得到确切消息说劳尔一定有一张这样的床。我想这应该能帮到他吧，如果能够提升一个球员的竞技水平，那这床就是好东西。你应该知道自己现在不能经常上场吧？我知道俱乐部花力气留下了我，我知道今年和去年不一样了。球队里有一些非常优秀的球员，这让我不能经常上场，但我还年轻，我又足够的耐心。我必须要努力训练，让教练满意，并好好利用我得到的每一次机会。

轮换制会给你带来好处么？重要的是教练认为我准备充分，可以上场。我已经慢慢可以在球队名单中找到自己的名字了，然后开始慢慢得到上场时间。我现在要做的就是越来越努力训练。舒斯特只会把你当右后卫用，而拉莫斯现在在这个位置上，这对你来说是不是很艰难？今年教练只把我当右后卫用，去年我三个防守位置都踢过。我现在也还是左中右都可以踢，拉莫斯是西班牙最好的边路球员之一，也是世界上最好的球员之一，我必须要好好努力才行。如果我们认为西班牙有可能拿到欧洲杯，这想法是不是有点疯狂？不，作为西班牙人，我希望西班牙可以赢得欧洲杯。这支球队里有很多伟大的球员。我想他们现在状态很好，他们能够在欧洲杯到来的时候保持顶峰状态。

你怎么看国家队赛事造成的伤病？为国家队效力一直是莫大的荣耀，我们知道体比赛越多的话就越有可能受伤，幸好我们现在没有特别严重的伤病号，他们会很快好起来的。你想过离开这支球队么？一旦效力皇马，你就很清楚你要和世界上最好的球员竞争。如果无法处理好这样的情况的话，当然应该选择离开。我一直很努力，而且一直梦想在皇家马德里取得成功。我知道和萨尔加多还有拉莫斯竞争很难，因为他们都是非常优秀的球员。我必须继续努力，利用我所拥有的任何机会。By Arancha Díaz Photos by Alejandro González Translation by Matthew Goltz Chinese Translation by Mel
