According to Goal, F.Torres said he will watch the Madrid Derby from the stands and try to set aside his coaching identity.

F.Torres has transitioned from player to coach and is currently beginning a new chapter in management at Atletico Madrid. He said he hopes to create a distinctive coaching style and draw on the experience of the many coaches he worked with throughout his playing career.

F.Torres will watch the Madrid Derby on Sunday at the Metropolitano Stadium. Weather permitting, he will be there to support Atletico Madrid, but this time he will try to set aside his coaching role and enjoy the match as a fan.

F.Torres said: "Every time I go to the Metropolitano Stadium, I try to put on an Atletico Madrid fan's scarf and enjoy the team's game. I try not to analyze too much; I just come to watch my team, cheer them on, and feel that passion alongside the fans. I will try to forget that I am a coach, though it's difficult, I will still try."

When discussing the style of play he wants his team to adopt, F.Torres said he likes bold, dynamic, and direct football. He hopes the team can maintain modernity and variety in both attacking and defending while keeping the game at a sustained tempo. He also told Spain's Marca that this style of play can connect with fans, making them jump out of their seats repeatedly, especially at Atletico Madrid.

F.Torres did not start his coaching career from scratch. As a player, he worked with many renowned coaches in Spain, England, and European football, including Rafa Benítez, Ancelotti, Mourinho, and Simeone. He said he learned something from all these coaches, but since fully committing to coaching, Klopp has had the deepest impact on him.

When discussing the Madrid Derby, F.Torres refused to predict a favorite. He said Atletico Madrid currently has passion for the game and confidence that they can win, which represents a major shift from the past.

F.Torres believes Atletico Madrid is different from last season. The team has signed many new players, and some key players have departed. The team is clearly in a growth phase, and the starting lineup is also difficult to predict. However, he said the team has high spirits and very good overall strength.

When discussing Real Madrid under Mourinho, F.Torres said Mourinho's most prominent characteristic is his leadership in the dressing room. He said: "The Mourinho I knew was an extraordinary leader in the dressing room. This leadership is his most defining feature."

F.Torres added that he is no longer at that club, so this aspect is less evident now, but he believes Mourinho knows how to manage a team, which is very important for the dressing room.

As for Real Madrid currently, F.Torres acknowledged he hasn't watched many matches this season, but he believes Real Madrid has many great players and can always win even when the match seems to be heading toward defeat.

When asked if Barcelona is the biggest favorite, F.Torres said the season has just begun, and injuries and other circumstances can change the situation. He believes Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the best-performing teams in Europe right now, but the season is still long.

Regarding the Champions League final to be held at the Metropolitano Stadium, F.Torres said Atletico Madrid is now more willing to openly discuss their ambitions, but they won't let future visions affect the present. He said: "As a fan, when we go watch a match, we all hope the team wins, but we're not thinking about what will happen in May because the season is still long."

F.Torres finally said the team must take things one step at a time and face the next Champions League match when it arrives, just as they will face next Sunday's match.
