Goal<\/span><\/a> : \u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has claimed that fans of former club Liverpool “don’t know the truth” behind his move to Stamford Bridge and has accused the Reds’ owners, Fenway Sports Group, of breaking promises.<\/p>\n

Torres left Anfield in a \u00a350 million deal in January, a move that has made him an unpopular figure amongst the supporters that idolised him during his time at the Merseyside club.<\/p>\n

The Spain international claims there was more to the transfer than meets the eye, however, saying Reds fans “don’t know” what their club’s owners are like.<\/p>\n

“The Liverpool fans don\u2019t know the truth about why I signed for Chelsea,” he told Spanish television station Canal+ Liga.<\/p>\n

“The fans don\u2019t even know half of what happened. They don\u2019t know what the people in charge at Liverpool are like – they have a completely different perception of what they are like.<\/p>\n

“They made promises that they didn\u2019t keep and I left because I realised I didn\u2019t have time to be part of a project that would take years.<\/p>\n

“I have nothing against the Liverpool fans. I didn\u2019t want to leave Liverpool the way I did but the club lied. I was let down and I don\u2019t understand why the fans hate me.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
