“He wouldn’t set foot on a football pitch again” – Luis Enrique warns daughter’s boyfriend Ferran Torres on doing baby celebration at 2022 FIFA World Cup
Luis Enrique’s daughter Sira Martinez is dating Ferran Torres, who scored twice in Spain’s 7-0 thumping of Costa Rica. Torres dedicated his two goals on Wednesday to his girlfriend, who was present at Al Thumama Stadium after the couple announced their relationship in January.
Torres and Enrique seem to get along well, both professionally and personally, but the gaffer is not quite ready to become a grandfather just yet. The former Barcelona manager was asked how he would respond if Torres scored and celebrated by hinting at becoming a father.
He gave his prospective son-in-law quite the caution, telling Torres, “I would replace him in that moment, put him on the stands, and he wouldn’t set foot on a football pitch again” Enrique was questioned about which member of Spain’s 26-man squad he most resembles before the 7-0 thumping of Costa Rica in Doha.

Luis Enrique isn’t concerned about players having s*x before matches during the 2022 FIFA World Cup
The Spain manager confirmed that he would have loved to play in England during his playing career, sparking speculation that he’ll eventually become a Premier League coach. The eccentric coach kept his promise to viewers to continue streaming while Spain is in the World Cup by appearing on Twitch.
When asked if players should be prohibited from having sex before games, he responded: “It’s ridiculous (to ban it). It’s something I consider totally normal. If you’re at an orgy the night before a match then obviously that’s not ideal, but when I’m a club coach the players are at home the night before a game and it’s not something that worries me at all.”
“If it’s something they do then it’s because they need to and want to. But I repeat with common sense! Each one with their partner. It’s normal. When I was a player if I was at home before a game, with my wife, well we did what we had to do,” he added.
