Fabregas praise for Torres

Midfielder Francesc Fabregas has heaped praise on Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.

Fabregas is also Torres' team mate on the international level and knows first hand what the Reds hitman can do.

There is also quiet surprise at how quickly Torres has managed to adapt in his first season in the Premiership, scoring 28 goals already in his first season.

He said: "This style of football fits him like a glove. He is strong, quick, powerful, he can finish and, above all, he knows how to create space for himself, which is fundamental here.

"We will be rivals during these three games but we are good friends. In the Spain squad there have been a few joke.

"Torres says that he is going to score against us, but I prefer to keep quiet and do my talking on the pitch."

Nikhil;you must be a very stupid and biased fan.Prostitution is there and everybody knows about it;and football is not played against prostitutes.You are a big fool in the way you express yourself.In the referees' register neither Ronaldo's father or relative is there so the refs should their work.Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world whether he dives or not and whether he sleeps with prostitues.Remember the googles and youtubes you are referring us to,are written and owned by human beings some of them biased like you.

I love the last sentence=I rate Torres highly and we have to stop him but i dont like free talk befopre games and i hope his words haunt him.Fab has the right idea-keep it quiet,keep it low and talk with the way we play.Id love to have signed Torres-hes pure quality and i can omly imagine what hed have been like in place of Henry.No easy ride 2morrow but if we play the way we all know we can we can take a lead to Kop.Clean sheet essential so have to stop Torres and Gerard.

What I'm really happy to see about Fabregas is that he has really matured as a player. If anyone who doesn't know about football will tell that his age is about 23 or so. But it is not so and he is just 20 yrs. old and he has earned the respect of many famous people in the world. You start maturing when you think of other people and that is what Shakespeare had said. Fabregas has started praising some players and that shows that he is matured and it shows everyone else too. Those who think Ronaldo is good and admire him ought to be ashamed of themselves. Ronaldo is one of the big cheaters in the game. He dives a lot to get penalties as well as free kicks. The Portugal team coach teaches players how to dive. If you don't believe then go to YouTube and type Cristiano Ronaldo Dives. This is really bad and it is insulting football. I don't know whether you guys heard this but Ronaldo has had sex with prostitutes. One day he invited Nani and Anderson to his house for a sexbash with five prostitutes. Check on google, there are plenty of stuff written on Ronaldo. I seriously don't understand why people like and of course he is good and has scored about 34,35 this season but at least half of his goals must have been through cheating. Rooney, Giggs, Tevez and Scholes are the people I admire.

We'll see who wins. Fabregas has said somethign really true. If Torres doesn't score then it will be really embarassing but the other thing about torres is right. We've really got to be careful and like what Fab said 28 goals in his first season that too a place which is completely far from his old league is quite good. Well as always Fabregas has the last word and I'm sure he'll do his talking on the pitch just like what he did to Milan.
