Fernando Torres scored some incredible goals in Liverpool training today but it’s not what you think. He is not coming out of retirement to play for Liverpool but some fans certainly would not mind after seeing him put on a show.
The premier league great is gearing up for a Liverpool Legends game versus Eredivisie side Ajax’ legends.
The game is part of Liverpool’s annual charity event designed to help the less privileged in the UK.
This year’s charity event is also being held in honor of Sven Goran-Eriksson. The 75-year-old recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The swede is a life long Liverpool supporter who coached several sides and brilliant players during his coaching career. He however admits that his biggest regret is never getting an opportunity to manage Liverpool.
He received a heartwarming video showing some of the stars he managed wish him all the best.
Eriksson will be in the dug out during the charity event managing his beloved Liverpool in for the charity match.
What happened
Eriksson put his charges through their paces and watched on as Torres rolled back the years. Torres scored some incredible goals in Liverpool training, including a goal with the outside of his boot from several yards out.
His goals would have left Darwin Nunez scratching his head. The Uruguayan has been accused of being wasteful in front of goal, although he has been prolific this season.
Looking ahead
Liverpool will not be able to count on Torres ahead of the season finale. After crashing out of the FA cup to Manchester United, their dreams of a quadruple went up in smoke.
They will hope they can get their hand on the PL title and the Europa league ahead of Klopp’s fair well.
They will certainly need Nunez fit and firing in the title run in if they are to pip Arsenal and City to the title. There are just ten games left of the league season after match week 28.
