Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has lifted the lid on his much-maligned £50million from Liverpool, claiming Merseyside was a much ‘more comfortable place’ than London....
The Spaniard has struggled for form and goals since making his record breaking switch on transfer deadline day in January this year, and has finally broken his silence about the struggles he’s faced since the move.
‘Chelsea is in London, a huge city. I come from Madrid, also a great European capital, but this is much more of everything, for good and for bad,’ said Torres.
‘It’s been difficult for me to adapt here compared to when I arrived in Liverpool, a more comfortable place, smaller, where I was surrounded by Spanish team-mates.
‘In the end, the important thing is to try and organise yourself as quickly as possible. That’s what I’m doing.’
Liverpool were in decline when Torres decided to up sticks to Stamford Bridge, and despite the signing of Luis Suarez, couldn’t be persuaded to stay at Anfield.
Since then the Reds have undergone a resurgence under Kenny Dalglish, but Torres insists he doesn’t regret making the move south.
‘The only thing I know is that opportunities such as the one Chelsea offered me cannot be turned down. The important thing is the confidence they have in me,’ added the striker.
‘Liverpool was going down a strange path. Personally, I believe the departure of Xabi Alonso to Madrid was a clear message that something was changing.
‘I have the ambition to improve and Chelsea could offer me what every footballer desires: plastic fans.’
