In an interview with Liverpool's official website, Torres, who is currently the coach of Atletico's youth team, was asked about the performance of the Reds' current striker Salah. In this regard, Torres believes that Salah has been great in the past two or three seasons.
Asked if Salah is the best player in the world at the moment, Torres replied: "One hundred percent, I think not only this year, the last two or three seasons he has been amazing. When players win some trophies at the same time, you always talk about the trophies they've won individually, but I think <b>for the last five or six years he's been one of the two or three best players in the world. </b>”
"His consistency is amazing, you can see him break all the records and keep scoring goals. Sometimes we have some exchanges and I'm really happy for him because I met him when he came to England and it was tough in the beginning, but he's a really good guy, he's a really good player and he's showing that to the world. ”
Commenting on Liverpool's attacking line up front, Torres said: "<b>When Mane, Firmino and Salah are up front and enjoying the goals they have scored, I really enjoy watching games like this. </b>Salah was my team-mate at Chelsea and the situation was difficult for him at the beginning and I'm happy to see that he's at the top of football now, he's constantly scoring goals and in the last few years, being one of the most important players in the world. ”
"Jota was really young when he joined Atletico, we played in the pre-season together and it's great to see him improve and become a very important player. He has now started many times for Liverpool and scored goals. <b>You can see their work, as a team, their efforts have produced results and all the players have gotten better. </b>So, as a former striker, I really enjoy seeing these three or four players attacking, scoring goals and creating chances, it's really exciting. ”
Commenting on the work Klopp has done at Liverpool, Torres said: "It's incredible, from the outside you can see all the efforts that the club is doing, and so is Klopp. Their team has a very high level, which is great and you can see that people are still enjoying that. <b>I think Klopp understood the passion of the fans there from day one and they put it all together to create a really good team. </b>”
"Everyone will remember this team, they won back the Premier League and they also won the Champions League. They have been one of the contenders in both events over the past few seasons, and this season is no exception. In my opinion, it's always special to see Liverpool play and it's even more special to come back to Liverpool because it's the first time I've watched a game in England since I retired from play and something like that should happen at Liverpool. ”
