Fernando Torres talks about the unforgettable game in Japan."I remember the scene clearly." (2ページ目)

J-League chairman Mitsuru Murai was listening to Torres speak and commented upon the impression he made in the league.

"I was impressed by Torres' presence up front - it was as if he was calling to his teammates, 'Pass the ball to me!'" Murai said. "I felt his aura. Maybe it sounds like a cliché, but I did. All the people in the stadium were watching Torres. He is a player you are drawn to."

Still involved with Tosu as an adviser, Torres envisages more foreign players in the J-League in the future, especially from his home country.

"I would like to share my experience in Japan, such as the quality of life and the competitive league," Torres said. "There are many kind people, good food, and a beautiful culture in this country. Also, every player can improve in this league, and due to its high level, some players may see it as a step up towards the big European leagues. I think a lot of foreign players will come, especially my compatriots because Spanish players like myself were able to smoothly adjust to living here."

While nodding next to him, Murai also sent a message to foreign footballers around the world.
