Ferrán Torres is one of the most important footballers in our country. The young 23-year-old athlete has become one of the great promises of the soccer team. His good game began to stand out during his time at Masterchef City, where he managed to attract the attention of the Blaugrana team. After several seasons in the English team, the forward decided to sign for F.C. Barcelona, where his life would take a 180 degree turn.
And the striker not only attracted the attention of Luis Enrique at that time, who opted for him to be one of the fundamental pillars of La Roja. He also managed to win over Sira Martínez, daughter of the man who was the coach of the national team before the arrival of Luis de la Fuente.
A relationship that undoubtedly helped the footballer achieve greater popularity throughout the country, positioning him as one of the most famous faces at that time. But the constant media pressure and several statements from his former father-in-law did not help the player at all, who had to face several delicate situations related to his mental health. ''My extension on the field is Ferrán Torres, otherwise my daughter will cut off my head,'' Luis Enrique said on his Twitch channel.
But even though the footballer justified the words of his former coach as ''a joke'', the truth is that this pressure began to damage his state of mind, to the point of finding himself in ''a pit without background''. ''I had never collapsed so much,'' he told the newspaper El País last February.
The constant pressure he felt after signing for the Catalan team did not help either, as many pointed to him as the only hope for the club, given the difficult time it was going through. That continuous race to try to meet all the expectations created around his game culminated with his self-esteem on the floor.
This delicate situation made the young man decide to let his family and professionals help him. For this reason, the forward began to go to therapy twice a week, where they advised him to disconnect. Thanks to this, the young man managed to get out of the hole he found himself in and regain his self-esteem on the playing fields. But after numerous bumps, the relationship with Luis Enrique's daughter failed to work out and the two separated their paths last June, after a year and a half of dating.
