Torres explains his Liverpool exit
Torres explains his Liverpool exit
Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has taken time to explain the reasons behind his Liverpool exit earlier in the year, and insists Reds' fans do not know the real reasons behind his move to Stamford Bridge.
Torres has so far struggled for form since arriving at Chelsea and has not been in the same impressive goalscoring form that saw him become a terrace hero at Anfield.
"Liverpool's fans have stuck with the story the club gave and they don't know the real story," he told Marca. "I don't feel bitter towards them, they will always be special for me.
"I owe so much to Rafa Benitez, no one understood me like him. He's a great coach. His teams go out with just one thing in mind: compete. Even with a smaller budget his teams can compete with the best."
