Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said Merseyside had cheated on Chelsea in January 2011 when they sold Fernando Torres for around £ 50 million.
“He couldn’t believe it because he knew we had cheated on Chelsea. In our last 12 months he has been a pale shadow of himself,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“For 18 months in Liverpool, Torres has been the best striker in the world, and I think his excellent performance against Chelsea has taken root in the minds of his owner. Roman Abramovich has been buying players he personally likes, like Shevchenko.”
“What happened to Torres was very lucky for Liverpool because we had a game with Chelsea in a bad season for us. Torres had a really bad period but scored two goals. I think that was when they made the decision: when January arrives, We will come out with an offer for Fernando Torres. “
“£ 50m was a lot of money at the time and we were all shocked. We couldn’t believe they were paying that much money. But we did almost the same thing, paying £ 35m to Andy Carroll. I am not surprised that with Torres in Chelsea didn’t work, “added Carragher.
