Luis Enrique has joked that he is under pressure to pick Ferran Torres for Spain at the World Cup - because the Barcelona star is dating his daughter.
Enrique is the man in charge of leading Spain in Qatar, with their campaign getting underway against Costa Rica on Wednesday. The 2010 champions have a star-studded squad more than capable of getting out of Group E, which also contains Germany and Japan, but Enrique has an unusual selection headache to deal with.
Former Manchester City forward Torres has been dating Enrique’s 22-year-old daughter, Sira Martinez, since last year. His £46.3million transfer from City to Barcelona in January saw Torres move to the same city as Martinez, who is a showjumper, and complicate his relationship with the national team’s manager.
