Fernando Torres doesn’t ‘understand why’ Liverpool fans hate him

For somebody who should be concentrating on getting back into form at Chelsea, Fernando Torres sure does talk a lot about his old club.

Just over a month ago the misfiring striker spoke about his departure from Anfield in January, hinting at “the real story” not being out yet.

Now he has given another interview, also in Spain, where he has given us a little more, but still not the full story.

"The Liverpool fans don’t know the truth about why I signed for Chelsea," he said. "The fans don’t even know half of what happened. They don’t know what the people in charge at Liverpool are like - they have a completely different perception of what they are like."

Our first thought would be ‘tell us Nando, get it off your chest and we will all feel better’ but sadly we get little more in the way of details.

“They made promises that they didn’t keep and I left because I realised I didn’t have time to be part of a project that would take years. I have nothing against the Liverpool fans,” he said. “I didn’t want to leave Liverpool the way I did but the club lied. I was let down and I don’t understand why the fans hate me.”

Poor Nando. If he hasn’t worked out that leaving a club where you are worshipped to join a club they really do not like very much, for £50million, is a sure-fire way to get hated then we worry for his ability to work out where the goal is again.

But with all the Luis Suarez stuff, do Liverpoool fans still care about Torres, his departure and why? Do they really hate him anymore?

Might be time to either spill the beans in full Fernando or shut up for a while.
