After departing from Liverpool to join Chelsea at the end of the January transfer window, Fernano Torres hasn't been making much of an effort to endeer himself to his former club.
According to ESPN.com, Torres said that the atmosphere at Chelsea is "friendlier" than at his old stomping grounds of Anfield, even in the locker room.
"There are more personal relationships and jokes between the players than there were at Liverpool," he said. "Everything was much more serious there. Here, you don't have to prove you are a professional — it is assumed."
Torres added that once the Liverpool club was sold to New England Sports Ventures, he wanted to escape the "chaos."
"I knew I was an idol for the fans but it wasn't the same anymore," Torres said. "The institution was in chaos with the sale. There was all this talk of possible projects.
"In many ways it reminded me of [former club] Atletico Madrid … a great history, many ideas but without money. It needed time. I don't have that. People aren't honest in the world of football. You can't say the truth or be clear with people. It's a business and nobody is anyone's friend."
Torres has yet to score a goal for his new club, but is making it very clear that he is not regretting the transfer.
