Fernando Torres, the coach of the Atletico Madrid youth team, praised the coaching skills of Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso.
- I think everything is fine with Xabi. He was a great player and now he is a great coach. He is a really great specialist. Alonso is my friend, so I wish him all the best. We saw his work in the Real Sociedad academy, and now you can see that he has become one of the best coaches on the planet. Xabi is having a special season, his team has never lost. I am sure he has an incredible future ahead of him," said Fernando Torres.
We remind you that Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres defended Liverpool's colours together in the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons.
