Former Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has compared what it was like to play for the Reds and Chelsea in a new interview.
Torres was speaking to talkSPORT as he continues to plug his new Netflix documentary due on screens from September 18 and naturally his Liverpool career was a big talking point.
The Spaniard starred for Liverpool from 2007 to 2011 before he left in the January transfer window in a £50 million move to Chelsea.
Torres left Anfield for Chelsea in search of more silverware, something which came his way in the form of the Champions League in 2012 with the London side.
But the 36-year-old admits he never found the same comfort zone with 'cold' Chelsea as he did at the 'family club' of Liverpool.
"Liverpool was the peak of my career. I arrived in a new city and didn't speak English," Torres told talkSPORT.
"Everybody liked me so much from the first day. I spent three and half years with the club. Only happy times, scored goals and won the European Championship with Spain.
"The relationship with fans and players was similar to Atletico Madrid. The players and supporters are really close and this is what I needed.
"I was ready when I left, though. When I left Atletico it was with the target of winning trophies. It was a difficult situation for the structure of the club at Liverpool.
"They were about to be sold. They needed five or six years to create that winning team. I didn't have that time.
"Liverpool was a huge club, though. But inside it was like a small family. From the workers and gardeners and the cooks. You could meet them every day.
"Chelsea was a huge structure and it was a bit more cold. It was still being built and everything was new."
