Spanish striker Fernando Torres has slammed Liverpool for portraying him as a ‘traitor’ following his departure to Chelsea five years ago.
The 32-year-old become a fan favorite at the Anfield before joining Chelsea in January 2011 for a then-British transfer record of £50 million.
Torres scored a staggering total of 65 goals in 102 appearances for the Reds but sparked outrage among Liverpool fans after joining Premier League rivals at Stamford Bridge.
However, in a book by Simon Hughes – ‘Ring of Fire: Liverpool FC into the 21st Century – the players’ stories’, Torres has finally lifted the lid over his ill-fated departure from the Merseyside, revealing a sequence of events including his meeting with Liverpool’s Director of football Damien Comolli in 2010, which left him unimpressed by the club’s future plans.
