AC Milan striker Fernando Torres has been discussing his form slide since his days at Anfield.
Torres saw his scoring record take a huge dip after the transfer from Liverpool to Chelsea, so what happened to cause such a shift?
"I think it is because of the playing style each team has. Atletico Madrid and Liverpool had a similar style and I made a great partnership with players. At Atletico it was Albertini, then Ibagaza and later Maxi Rodriguez.
"They are players I feel a special connection with. At Liverpool I had it with Xabi Alonso and especially Steven Gerrard.
"Chelsea played very differently. You had to adapt to the team and sacrifice your qualities to help the team.
"You may have won many titles in your career and played in many important matches, but when you join a side with a different style, you have to adapt first and then make the rest of the team understand your style so you can finally shine by scoring goals.
"As I said, in the end the goals are what count. A striker is not judged by his passes or whether he fought hard. What counts is the number of goals."
