#240: Interview with Luca de la Torre

Heracles Almelo midfielder Luca de la Torre, hoping for a USA call-up this week, talks about the evolution of his game under Frank Wormuth, the Fulham years, the key to ball security, and his ability to operate on the half-turn between the lines. A cerebral guy, obviously passionate about the game. support Scuffed on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/scuffed sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://scuffedweekly.substack.com/ join the Discord: https://discord.gg/X6tfzkM8XU buy our merch: https://my-store-11446477.creator-spring.com/ drop us a question at this link and we’ll try to answer it: https://forms.gle/vEatDVE6wsMzekep8 Skip the ads!
