There really is something truly special about Torres. Those comments and the ones on the offal today about him wanting to make history just show how special he is
TORRES: I WANT TO MAKE HISTORY
Fernando Torres believes he can lift both the Barclays Premier League and the Champions League during his Liverpool career and help emulate the club's "winning tradition".
The 25-year-old - who agreed a new contract with the Reds last month - is certain he can satisfy his desire for silverware at Anfield and is determined to write himself into the Kop history books.
"Winning the European Championship with Spain gave me a taste of what winning at the top level was like and once you've had a taste of success it becomes an addiction," said Torres.
"A lot of players committed themselves to Liverpool this summer with new contracts and players don't do that unless they think they can have their ambitions met.
"There is a lot of belief at the club and a lot of trust in the manager. I sincerely believe I will win the Premier League and the European Cup here.
"The winning tradition is very clear at Liverpool. I want to be involved in a little piece of their history."
The Reds beat off strong competition from other members of Europe's elite to land Torres from Atletico Madrid in July 2007.
The Spain international is adamant he would not have left Atletico for any club other than Liverpool and insists he sees his long-term future on Merseyside.
"It was hard for me to leave Atletico," he admitted. "It was where I grew up and I have lost count how many times I have said I would only have left them for Liverpool.
"I'm very excited about what the boss is doing here at Liverpool. We came close last season and, with the experience we now have, I believe we can be champions next season."
He added: "As long as Liverpool want me, I will stay."
