Well know Spanish footballing newspaper Marca interviewed the classy Athletico Bilbao player and he quoted this: "I don't have many idols, but I liked Zidane. I also like Xavi Hernandez and Fernando Torres. I was an Athletico (Madrid) fan because of Torres and when he went to Liverpool I also liked the 'reds'. Now I'm a bit of Chelsea fan for Fernando Torres plays there." Might be reading into it a bit much, but you never know. He's a good player though from what I've heard and was instrumental in Bilbao's great run in the Europa league. http://www.marca.com/2012/06/05/futbol/eurocopa_2012/espana/1338888642.html
