A name that should be familiar to many football fans is El Pais journalist Diego Torres. Torres is a Spanish journalist who famously wrote a highly critical account of Jose Mourinho's stint at Real Madrid. Mourinho disputes the contents of the book and said "the person who wrote that book shouldn’t write books. He should write books for kids using his imagination."
For others, it was a revealing insight into the inner workings at the Spanish capital by a well-sourced writer. In recent years Torres has continued to cover the club as well as further afield, with several revealing insights into Neymar's stint at PSG.
During the World Cup, Torres penned several pieces about the tension within the Spanish squad. This provoked Isco to hit out at the 'bad' journalist on Twitter.

It appears as if the Real Madrid winger is not willing to let the matter go. During a press conference, Torres asked Isco about his preferred role but the Spanish midfielder was not willing to answer the question.
I won't answer that question as you'll write whatever you like in your section in the newspaper, so I'll just you let you carry on in that manner. We're the ones playing on the pitch for the national team but we need people around us who are helpful instead of putting obstacles in the way constantly as that offers nothing.
Luis Enrique's Spain reign is underway, as the side look to put a difficult World Cup beyond them. However, it appears there are some matters from that tournament that players will hold on to for some time yet.
