Joins Messi on the cover
Bengt Lemne 23 June 2009

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres who scored the deciding goal in last summer's European Championships in Austria and Switzerland joins Barcelona's Lionel Messi as one of the faces of Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (PES 2010). Fernando had these kind words to add in the press release:

"Everyone knows that when it comes to football simulation, Konami's PES series is by far the most realistic title available," commented Torres. "The new game looks absolutely stunning, and I look forward to seeing myself in action in PES 2010." "Fernando Torres has established himself as one of the most exciting strikers in the game," added Jon Murphy, PES European Team Leader. "He encapsulates everything that is good about the modern game, showcasing both pace, skill and vision - three elements that play a major part in PES 2010 as a football simulation."

Konami also promised that "key details on the game's DLC, online elements and options will follow shortly". Let's hope PES can return to its glory days this year...
