Simeone lauds Torres after double

Diego Simeone paid tribute to Fernando Torres as a big-game player after his double helped Atletico Madrid knock Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey. Simeone said: "When he came out the cantera [academy] he was a young guy, too young for everything that happened, but he responded well. He left, he grew up. Now he's a man and I'm very happy for him. He responds to games like this. The fans are happy. His arrival so far is doing us good, although some people doubted it." As pointed by Agen Bola indo11.com He added: "The collective work was the highlight, always. Not any individual returns. We're happy. We wanted to play an intelligent game and we needed to take our chances with our quick forwards. The goals came early.”
