Torres happy with comparison

Torres happy with comparison

19 December 2007 - 17:13

Fernando Torres has expressed his delight at being compared to players such as Liverpool legend Ian Rush. Reds fans have dedicated a chant once reserved for Dalglish and another Liverpool great Robbie Fowler to Torres and is delighted to be on his way to being considered a Reds legend.

  • Chelsea winger to join Leeds United or Crystal Palace?
  • Man Utd to sell Kobbie Mainoo to Chelsea?

  • "To be linked with players like that gives me pride and great satisfaction," he said.



    "They were some of the greatest players in the history of Liverpool Football Club. I have just arrived and still have a long way to go, but I am proud of the association.



    "These players, Rush and Dalglish, they defined an era for Liverpool by scoring so many goals.



    "It's not just for their sake that I shy away from these comparisons, it's for me too. I have only just arrived here. Many years down the line when I eventually leave Liverpool I would like to be held in the same affection as these players but I've got a long way to go, so I'll leave them on their pedestal at the moment."
