Paris Saint-Germain forward Ferran Torres stated in an interview that he had decided to join the club before the World Cup final.

How do you feel about your first week in Paris? How important was Luis Enrique in your decision to join Paris Saint-Germain?

Very well. I'm still adapting to the club and getting to know my teammates. Overall, Luis Enrique and Luis Campos played a crucial role in my decision to come here. To be honest, I'm very grateful for their trust in me.

You mentioned that Enrique was important to you even before you signed. Can you explain your relationship with him? You've known him for a long time.

Yes, I've always said that he was like a father to me when I was with the national team. So, the fact that he trusts me and brought me here makes me very grateful, and I must repay his trust with my performance on the field.

This has been a very special summer for you. You played in the World Cup final, and then scored two goals in your debut for Paris Saint-Germain.

Yes, it's been an incredible summer and a great start to the season. My only focus now is to keep improving and get ready with my teammates. I can't wait to win more matches and trophies for this great club.

Are Luis Enrique's demands different from before, or are they still the same?

No, they're the same. He wants me to be able to play in all three attacking positions, which is very important. If you can play more than one position, it's very beneficial for both the team and myself. So whenever he puts me on the field, I want to repay his trust.

Do you have a favorite position—striker, left wing, or right wing?

I feel comfortable playing as a number 9, and I've played that position for the past two years. But in the first game, he put me on the right wing, and I scored two goals, so I'm fine wherever he puts me.

Can you tell us when and how the negotiations between you and Paris Saint-Germain began?

Yes, the negotiations started even before the World Cup began. They contacted us. For me, it was very important to know that Paris Saint-Germain wanted to sign me. So I really wanted to join here, and eventually, I did.

Did you make the decision before the World Cup, before the World Cup final, or after?

Basically before, because we were already talking then, but it wasn't 100% finalized. But I had already made up my mind by then.

You're about to play against Barcelona, so that will be a very special match for you. What are your thoughts on this season? Do you think the team has a chance to win the Champions League?

Yes, it will definitely be a special match because I spent four and a half years there with my teammates. It will be very exciting for me and for the team, because matches between Barcelona and Paris are always special. We will do our best to win, but we'll see. Also, I think Paris is currently the best team in Europe, and Paris has won the last two Champions Leagues. We are under more pressure than other teams, because when you win, all eyes are on you. So we must continue to improve and prove ourselves on the field. Hopefully, we can win the third—and for me personally, my first Champions League trophy.

Is the versatility that Luis Enrique brings to the forwards also important to you? Because at Barcelona you often played as a number 9, but here you have more freedom on the field, right?

Yes, here, no matter where you start, the coach gives the front three players a lot of trust and freedom to move. This is very beneficial for us, but it's very difficult for opponents to defend against. So I have to adapt to this new way of playing as quickly as possible.
