I have a better chance at silverware with Chelsea: Torres
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 has revealed his reasons for leaving Liverpool. The striker says he joined the English champions during the January transfer window because he had a better chance of winning trophies with the Blues.
This season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 endured their worst start to a Premier League campaign in almost 50 years. At one point, the Reds were floundering in the relegation zone. The arrival of Kenny Dalglish at the helm has turned things around in a short span of time,
but it will still be almost impossible for them to win any silverware this season.
Torres said, “Things had changed a lot in the last year. I think they (Liverpool) have great ambition and they are doing the right things to get back, but it will take time. I didn't have that time.”
Torres won the FIFA World Cup last summer with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, and believes that if he wanted to continue winning more accolades, he would have to move to a club which could match his ambition. The Spaniard believes that Chelsea were the perfect side to take his
career to greater heights.
The Spaniard also had an uncharacteristically slow start to the campaign, leading many to believe that he was unhappy during his time at Anfield. The striker has now revealed that he made up his mind to leave Liverpool as soon as he heard that Chelsea were
interested in acquiring his services.
Torres added, “As soon as I knew that Liverpool and Chelsea were talking about that (negotiations on Torres), I told them that the decision was made.”
The striker is set to face his old team-mates on Sunday, 6th February, when Chelsea face Liverpool at Stamford Bridge. The striker has already said that he would like to score, so all thoughts about going easy on his former club have been thrown
out the window.
Liverpool will hardly be pushovers though. The Reds have filled the void left by Torres departure by bringing in Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll. Let’s see what happens when the two sides clash on Sunday.
