Ferran: Number 7 always special to me; must start World Cup strong and play with style

According to EFE, Spanish international Ferran Torres spoke about the Spanish team's first FIFA World Cup match in the mixed-zone. He stated that the team must get off to a good start in the first match and play in their own style.

Ferran said: "We will take every match seriously because every one is very important. We must get off to a good start in the first match and play in our own style."

In this FIFA World Cup, Ferran will wear the Spanish team's number 7 jersey, which is also a historically significant number.

Speaking of the number 7 jersey, Ferran said: "Number 7 has always been a very special number for me. David Villa wore this number, and he is also my role model, and Morata also wore it. Later, when I took over the number 7, Morata specifically sent me a message."

Speaking of his position, Ferran said: "For me, the most comfortable position is on the field. I can play in three positions in the front, and as for which specific position I play, it depends on the coach's arrangement."

When asked if he is a team leader, Ferran replied: "We have 26 leaders here, everyone can perform at the highest level, and everyone has a chance to be a starter. Of course, ultimately it is up to the coach to decide. All of us will be very important."

Ferran believes that the Spanish team is playing "very relaxed and confident" in this FIFA World Cup because this group of players has been playing together for many years, which will be the team's "extra advantage." On the other hand, Ferran also wished his good friend Ilia Topuria good luck. Speaking of his good friend Ilia Topuria, Ferran said: "Both of us will win. Those will be two perfect nights. I also wish him all the best and hope he has good luck tonight."
