Fernando Torres has rediscovered his love for football at Chelsea after a difficult spell when he did not care whether the Blues won or lost.

Torres also revealed it was a difficult decision to leave Anfield where he was a big success following his switch from Atletico Madrid in July 2007. "I owe Liverpool a huge amount. To the people, to the men in charge, to Benitez and his staff, to the city. Liverpool is a fundamental part of my life. They don't remember me that way, but time will change that," he said. "I could not have chosen a better place to go when I left Atletico. My son is a Liverpool fan and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city; he had no choice."
