Having arrived at Paris Saint-Germain during the summer 2026 transfer window from FC Barcelona, Ferran Torres has reunited with coach Luis Enrique. Speaking to El Hormiguero, the 26-year-old forward was invited to talk about working again with the manager he had already known with the Spanish national team.
“He is incredibly straightforward. If he has something to tell you, he will tell you, whether it’s good or bad. He is very loyal to those close to him and to his team. I have always seen him as a father figure in the world of football, and I think he will know how to help me reach my full potential.”
As is so often the case when a player speaks about Luis Enrique, his very human side is highlighted. That does not mean he only says positive things. He is honest and attentive, with the desire to help his player move forward. That is reflected in his management style, with no handouts but an approach designed to involve everyone.
Of course, you still have to earn the right to play. Competition should push everyone to fight. A starter is not guaranteed a place in the next match, and a substitute is not stuck in that role. In fact, we often see that the players coming off the bench make a real impact. Something coach Luis Enrique does not hesitate to point out.
It could be life-changing for Ferran Torres, who may have felt blocked at Manchester City or Barça. Here, everything is open. His versatility is also a real asset, and his style of play fits perfectly with Luis Enrique’s philosophy. Along with a significant advantage over his competitors: his heading ability. He has already been very helpful in that way (goals against Rennes and Marseille).
All we can do is hope he continues on this path, and we share his confidence in Luis Enrique’s ability to get the very best out of him.
