Torres veut doubler le Barça
FC Barcelone Fernando Torres Ligue des Champions Liverpool FC
9 juin 2009

L’attaquant de Liverpool Fernando Torres a déclaré qu’il souhaitait faire de l’ombre au FC Barcelone, récent vainqueur de la Ligue des Champions.

L’international espagnol, dans la Mersey depuis deux ans, a ainsi avoué à la presse britannique : « Je ne dis pas ça à la légère. Nous devons estimer que nous sommes aussi bons, sinon meilleurs, que le FC Barcelone si nous voulons espérer gagner des titres. Je veux remporter de nombreux trophées avec Liverpool dans les années à venir ».

Torres, acheté 36 millions d’euros en 2007, a inscrit 50 buts en 84 matchs avec les Reds. Quand même.

Fernando Torrès backs Michael Owen and wants Johnson!!!

Former Liverpool striker Michael Owen has featured intermittently in Newcastle United's first-team over the past few seasons as his career continues to be plagued by a series of injuries, yet Fernando Torres believes the diminutive hotshot will return to the exemplary form that he is best known for.

Torres, currently on Confederations Cup duty with Spain, also stated that he would welcome the addition of England's first choice right back Glen Johnson at Anfield. Johnson is a player who, says Torres, had a grand season with Portsmouth.

Speaking of Owen, Torres told the Daily Mail, "I know that he is a big part of the history of this football club and that the fans at Anfield loved him. I have no idea where he will be playing next season, but I am convinced that he still has a lot to offer.

"He has been unlucky with injuries in recent years and I know how frustrating that can be, but he has a natural instinct in front of goal and you don't lose that just because you have been injured."

Liverpool face a three-way fight along with Chelsea and Manchester City to bring Johnson to the club. The roaming full-back, who has firmly established himself in the first-team plans of Fabio Capello's Three Lions, is likely to command a pricey £18 million fee.

"We have total trust in the boss and we will trust whoever he brings in, but yes, Glen Johnson has had an excellent season.

"He is now in an England team playing very good football.

"He is used to playing top-four football, so there would be no issue about him making the step up."

Fernando Torres: Liverpool FC needs top stars to help us win title
Jun 30 2009 Liverpool Echo

LIVERPOOL striker Fernando Torres believes the club have to hang on to the likes of Xabi Alonso and Javier Mascherano if they are to depose Manchester United as Barclays Premier League champions.

The two midfielders are major targets for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively but Torres is in agreement with manager Rafael Benitez that neither should be sold – despite potential offers in excess of £25millon each.

Yesterday Alonso failed to pledge his full commitment to the Merseysiders while Barca president Joan Laporta again hinted they were willing to use Mascherano’s international team-mate Lionel Messi to lure the Argentina captain away from Anfield.

The increasing speculation about the two is a concern for Torres, who himself signed an improved contract with the club towards the end of last season.

“I worry about losing my team-mates but if we can keep our best players and bring in some more, we’ll be even stronger for next season,” he said.

“The important thing is we’re getting closer to the title. It’s been frustrating for me because three years without a trophy for Liverpool is too long.

“The next one is coming, though – I’m sure of it. Manchester United have been the strongest team in Europe but they’ve lost an important player (Real Madrid-bound Cristiano Ronaldo), so maybe it’s our time now.

“My ambition is to win trophies with Liverpool. We must win something next season.

“And then, with Spain, it’s obvious that the 2010 World Cup is our big challenge. I hope 2009-10 will be a great season for me.”

Torres accepts the club’s lack of financial muscle means they are unlikely to be able to compete for star signings like international team-mate David Villa - valued at £40million - but he believes that will not affect their chances of winning trophies.

The Spain striker has recommended his international team-mate, plus fellow Valencia pair David Silva and Juan Mata to manager Rafael Benitez, but knows signing Villa is a distant prospect with Liverpool’s transfer fund dwarfed by both Real and Barcelona’s as well as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea’s.

However, regardless of finances the Spain striker is confident Liverpool can overcome United, whom they came a close second to in last season’s Barclays Premier League.

Torres continued: “I don’t know about Liverpool’s financial situation but I know we don’t have the same money as Manchester United or Chelsea.

“We’re fighting them with less money every season. That’s not a problem for us - we’re a strong team and we’ll win trophies with money or without it.

“I know Rafa is working hard to bring in good players but I’m pretty sure David Villa will be too expensive for us. He is an outstanding striker and if Liverpool could sign anyone, I’d ask for him. He’s been in sensational form this season.

“But, to be honest, we have Steven Gerrard playing behind the striker and he scores 20 goals a season, so we don’t really need another forward. We just need to keep our best players.”
