Torres delighted with Real Madrid breakthrough

Real Madrid's rookie fullback Miguel Torres was delighted to play a role in last night's victory at Mallorca.

Torres was regarded by many judges as Real's best performer on the night and he said: "I tried to take advantage of the opportunities that they give me. What I have done in the past doesn't mean anything and I only think about the future."

"My secret is simply hard work. Work, work, work."

"(Coach) Fabio Capello wasn't crazy changing me from right to left-back. I've played there often enough for the Castile."

"I know Sergio Ramos' injury has granted me this opportunity. I just hope he returns quickly because the team needs him. For me, I have at the disposal of the coach. I just want to do my best for the team."
