I was thinking to myself, this takes time to work. It takes two, three, four, maybe even 10 years. "I didn't have that time. I was 27 years old. I did not have time to wait. I wanted to win. Here we are five years later and they are still trying to build – around the same position in the league as when I left. Torres, who spent four years on Merseyside, said: "It was presented as if I was a traitor. It was not like this in the discussion<s>."Liverpool could not admit they were doing something wrong with the whole team. They had to find a guilty one."</s> <s></s><s>Back at boyhood club Atletico Madrid after arriving permanently on a one-year deal from AC Milan in the close-season, Torres and Co. kick-off their LaLiga campaign at home to Deportivo Alaves on Sunday.</s></blockquote>
