Torres Delight At Support


Liverpool striker Fernando Torres admits he is loving life at Anfield.

The Spanish striker has became an instant Kop favourite with 26 goals in his 35 appearances so far this season.

The Spain international left home-town club Atletico Madrid for Liverpool in a £20million-plus deal last summer.


"I feel very wanted, every game I notice it more, like when the fans chant your name against Inter in the Champions League," the 23-year-old told Spanish radio station Punto Radio.

Torres was also a hero at Atletico, where he came through the youth ranks and was named as club captain at the age of only 19

However, despite scoring 82 goals in 214 league games for the Rojiblancos he could not bring the club any silverware, and made the decision to leave for England at the end of last season.

Torres added: "They are feelings that I had at Atleti, but to experience them away from your home is even more special and different because I have not had close bonds with the club since I was little."
