Fernando Torres the Key for Liverpool
Liverpool head man Rafa Benitz believes striker Fernando Torres is the key for his team to come away from today’s UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea with some confidence for the second leg.
Rafael Benitez admits his Liverpool team believe star striker Fernando Torres will always get them out of trouble.
The Reds manager, aware of the remarks from Chelsea boss Avram Grant about his coveting the Liverpool skipper, said: ‘Gerrard is a key player for us, and when he scores the winner in the semi-final maybe Chelsea will see even more how important he is for us.
‘It is not just about one or two players. We have players of quality who can change a game, and we must play as a unit. ‘But when you have Torres or Gerrard, and you are not playing well, the team know that these players can score to get you out of a problem. ‘We have a lot of confidence because we know Torres can create something.’
Fernando Torres was definitely a great signing for the Reds this last off-season. The Spaniard known as “El Nino” would make a lot of managers and teams feel like he could bail them out.
