Rainer Torres (born 12 January 1980) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a midfielder for FBC Melgar in the Torneo Descentralizado.
Playing style
Torres can operate as a defensive midfielder or higher up in the field as a central midfielder. His quickness along with his great defensive abilities make of him a player with sagacious attacking movements. Torres is an expert in slipping between what he calls the "cracks of the adversaries's defensive lines" to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Career
Rainer Torres began in Academia Cantolao and Sport Boys. He then moved to Europe to play for the German club MSV Duisburg and Austrian club DSV Leoben. He then returned to Peru to play for Universitario. However, problems between Torres and the directors of the club caused him to sign with Sporting Cristal where he would play for four seasons and win one national championship. He returned to Universitario in 2008 but was unable to play in the first 7 games of the season because of an injury in the preseason.
Torres has made 19 appearances for the Peru national football team.[1]
