Ferran Torres makes strong claim about Cristiano Ronaldo and his impact on football

Manchester City's Ferran Torres has explained why Cristiano Ronaldo “changing football” is his benchmark within the game. The 21-year-old is showing all the hallmarks of becoming a vital component in Pep Guardiola’s frontline for years to come. However, Torres is currently sidelined with a fractured foot. The Spaniard had operated as a false nine in the season’s early stages and was hailed for his clever movement that created time and space for City’s plethora of playmakers to wreak havoc. Spanish outlet El Desmarque (via Sport Witness) carry quotes from Torres who has revealed it is Manchester United’s Ronaldo he looks up to from a professionalism standpoint.

“[Ronaldo] is my point of reference,” said Torres.   “He has changed football in terms of nutrition, taking care of yourself, investing in your body.   “This is a long-term process in which what you do today has repercussions for tomorrow. Football is more physical, and you have to be prepared.   “You have to play and have a team behind you that takes care of you. There are a lot of games and trips that can weigh you down. I like them to be on top of me to deliver.   “I have a personal trainer, then my physio as well. They are in contact with the club, and they are a supplement for me. They are in full contact with me every day at all times.”
