In an interview with Mirror Football, Fernando Torres has opened up about his feelings towards the changes in his career, claiming that he misses his prolific form.
Speaking to The Mirror, Chelsea’s Spanish striker has admitted that he sometimes misses the player he was at Liverpool, when he was guaranteed personal success.
“I am a different player but I am not going to lie to you: the player that I was, the one who started all the matches with a guaranteed place, I really miss sometimes.
I even sat myself down to watch videos of my goals: I wanted to understand what I was doing before when I was scoring”, the striker added.
“I concluded that the only thing that had changed was the colour of the shirt.”
He concluded that he had “everything” at Liverpool, “(except) titles”.
Additionally, the striker spoke of his transfer to Chelsea and how he found it hard to adapt to spending more time on the bench after being the main man at former club Liverpool.
“I understood nothing of what had happened. I started to know the experience of the bench. I reassured myself by saying things would soon change.
Villas-Boas arrived, then Di Matteo but it was always the same: one day I played, the next not,” the Spaniard added.
Torres has found it hard to adapt to footballing life in London since his British record fee of £50 million on January deadline day 2011.
He scored 65 goals in three and a half years on Merseyside but has failed to come anywhere near that tally in the same time in West London.
He scored just 11 league goals in the 2013/14 campaign, however these did include the dramatic late winner against Manchester City and the final day winner away to Cardiff.
‘El Niño’ has also constantly been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent months, with a return to boyhood club Atlético Madrid looking on the cards with Diego Costa set to come the other way.
However, he is not alone in this department. With Jose Mourinho being publicly critical of all three of his strikers, Torres could find himself being part of a trio of front men set to depart Stamford Bridge.
