Daniel Pacheco admits he dreams of one day forming an all-Spanish strike partnership with Fernando Torres
The 17-year-old forward, who caught the eye during the club's pre-season trip to Switzerland, can't wait for El Nino to return to training tomorrow and is hoping he will get the chance
to lead the line alongside his country's Euro 2008 hero when the Reds face Villarreal next week.
"I would love to play with Torres because he is such a great striker and it would be very special for me to be in the team with him," said Pacheco.
"He is Spanish also and he is a big hero for everyone in my country after he scored the winning goal in the Euro 2008 final.
"He is one of the best strikers around so I think I would learn a lot from him if I played in the team with him.
"I would have loved to have played in the team with Stevie as well but he had to go back to Liverpool because he had an injury.
"But I have really enjoyed playing alongside the other first team players and they have really helped me.
"I'm really happy to be playing with these players and to be involved during pre-season and until the boss tells me otherwise I will keep on playing and enjoying myself."
Pacheco admits that life in the first team has been a huge step up from the reserves and while he accepts he is well down the pecking order when it comes to Rafael Benitez's first-
choice starting XI, he insists he will not let anyone down if called upon.
"Everything is different to the football I have been playing in the reserve team," he said the Malaga-born youngster.
"It is more competitive, faster, more difficult and you have to work harder but I am trying my best and now I just have to keep going.
"I don't know if I will still be in the team when the season starts though because that would be very difficult for me.
"The Spanish players have come back now and we will maybe have some new players as well so it would be tough for me to stay in the team.
"But I will continue to work hard every day and keep on going.
"I feel that I am playing quite well and that things are going well for me but, as I say, I cannot afford to stop working because that is the most important thing."
