Liverpool portrayed me as a traitor – Torres

Atletico Madrid star, Fernando Torres has claimed he was portrayed as a traitor by former club, Liverpool FC following his £50m move from Liverpool to Chelsea in 2011.

The Spanish international opned the lid in a new book by Simon Hughes entitled “Ring of Fire: Liverpool FC into the 21st Century – the players’ stories”. He was shocked had asked if he was going to be sold but the club’s managing director, Christian Purslow assured that players would remain at the club for Liverpool’s value to remain high ahead of a possible takeover. 
“Comolli told me that the new owners (FSG), they had an idea of how to spend their investment, They wanted to bring in young players, to build something new. I was thinking to myself, this takes time to work. It takes two, three, four, maybe even 10 years.
“I didn’t have that time. I was 27 years old. I did not have time to wait. I wanted to win. Here we are five years later and they are still trying to build – around the same position in the league as when I left.”
“It was presented as if I was a traitor. “It was not like this in the discussion(s).
“Liverpool could not admit they were doing something wrong with the whole team. They had to find a guilty one.”

My spell in Chelsea was like swimming in wet clothes – Torres

Spanish international, Fernando Torres has likened his 4 years spell at Chelsea football club to swimming in wet clothes. El Nino has found his foot at Athletico Madrid ever since his sensational return this season.
The 30 year-old who netted a total of 20 goals in 119 appearances for The Blues revealed his frustrating moments at Stamford Bridge to Spanish newspaper El Pais:
“The doubts were understandable because people do not see the Premier League or the short time I was at Milan, they read the statistics, and they were not the same as always. The worst part about not playing is when you think that you are ready to do it. You try to get more minutes, taking the chances, but you end up in a situation where things have not gone well for weeks, or for years.
That is like swimming in wet clothes. I know how I am, and I am good. In the end these doubts disappear, but then others come again.”
He continued: “In the semi-final against Barcelona I scored a goal and in the final I came on with eight minutes remaining and I feel that I helped the team to overcome the result. I have good memories because winning the Champions was a dream since I was a kid when I used to go to see Atletico Madrid. Having won that Champions League (with Chelsea) makes me feel very proud.”
