Fernando Torres may be a hate figure for Liverpool fans, but former team-mate Pepe Reina believes the Chelsea striker was right to leave Anfield.
In his autobiography, Reina says: “As much as it hurt the supporters to see him [Torres] go, I can understand his reasons for leaving.
“When Fernando started to feel that Liverpool were never going to be competitive again, it quickly became inevitable that he would accept the offer from Chelsea."
“I did know he was really angry because he felt he had been betrayed by Liverpool before he left. There had been plenty of lies, plenty of promises which had not been kept.
“It became clear the Liverpool we were at was not the Liverpool either of us had joined.”
"In the end, he decided he had to play at the highest level he could and he could not wait for it to happen at Liverpool.
“I was sad for him in the way it all happened. He never got the goodbye that he deserved and the Liverpool fans never got the goodbye they deserved from him."
"It’s sad it ended this way” Reina also wrote in his autobiography.
