Fernando Torres claims he is desperate to win the Premier League for Liverpool's fans. Torres is hoping his injury troubles are over after marking his comeback with a goal.
Torres had been sidelined for six weeks with a hamstring complaint, but came on as a substitute in Saturday's FA Cup tie at Preston North End.
He tapped in Steven Gerrard's pass in injury-time to seal a 2-0 win in the third round and is happy to be back on the pitch.
With Liverpool leading the Premier League, Torres is now eager to play a full role in the club's bid to win the title for the first time since 1990.
"The relationship I have with the fans is special," he said. "I know that. When I was injured, to hear them still singing their song about me was special.
"I could hear it on the TV when I was at home. That's fantastic.
They seem to love me and I want to win the title for this club.
"You want to be out there helping your team-mates and working hard, but the injury is in the past now.
"I have forgotten about it and I am only looking forward.
"I hope all my hamstring injuries are over and that I can keep playing and scoring for Liverpool.
"The team has shown they can win without Stevie and without me. That is very important. It shows that we play as a team."
