Former Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres happy with the relaxed atmosphere in the Chelsea locker room
Chelsea’s 50-million pound signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 locker room as compared to the one he had to bear with at Liverpool.
The Spanish World Cup Winner made the switch to join Chelsea in January, in what was a British record transfer deal. However, ever since his highly anticipated switch, the striker is yet to find the back of the net.
Nonetheless, the player has gone on to state that he is much happier in his new surroundings and most of this is due to the fact that Carlo Ancelotti creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere at the club.
The player is reported to have said, “There are more personal relationships and jokes between the players than there were at Liverpool. Everything was much more serious there. Here, you don’t have to prove you are a professional, it is assumed.”
However the player then turned his attention to Liverpool and went on to state that the fact that the club was in chaos ultimately lead to him deciding to part ways with it.
Torres then went on to add, “I knew I was an idol for the fans but it wasn’t the same anymore. The institution was in chaos with the sale. There was all this talk of possible projects. In many ways it reminded me of (former club) Atletico Madrid … a great
history, many ideas but without money, it needed time. I don’t have that.”
However, in a bizarre turn of events, ever since the player decided to switch teams, it seems like he turned the tides on both the teams' outlooks. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 have managed to sky rocket their way to the top quarter of the table and are looking to contend
for a European qualification spot. On the other hand, Chelsea have fallen from grace and are now struggling to make the fourth spot in the league, with Tottenham giving them a fight for their money to fill the final Champions League position.
At the moment, Torres has a lot to prove at the Stamford Bridge. The player seems to be having a lot of fun, but he needs to start putting in a handful of decent performances. This is because the way things are going at the club, the player is yet to prove
his worth there and has most football experts thinking that his transfer might have just been one of the worst in the history of the Premier league.
However, Torres still has some of the season to go, during which he will be looking to prove his critics wrong.
