da bet esporte: Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has dismissed suggestions that Fernando Torres is struggling to perform as he is unhappy at Anfield.
da aviator aposta: The Spain striker was strongly linked with a summer move away from Merseyside with Chelsea and Barcelona reported to be suitors.
Torres struggled to find his best form during Spain’s World Cup finals success and has started the new Premier League season some way short of his devastating best form.
He drew another blank during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland but Kuyt has denied suggestions that Torres is struggling because he is unhappy.
Torres has scored just one goal in seven appearances for the Reds this season.
“Everyone is expecting goals from Fernando but he offers a lot more,” explained Kuyt.
“Against Sunderland he was responsible for setting up the two goals.
“He is very important for the team even if he is not scoring goals. I’m sure his goals will come.
“His mood has never changed. If you are a striker, and the type of striker Fernando is, you want to be involved in goals.
“But everyone could see how happy he was to have set up two goals.
“When you are one of the world’s best strikers everyone is watching you so if they get a moment to blame him they will.
“And if you are not winning games he is not happy, I am not happy and the team is not happy.
“But we all know next week he could score a hat-trick and then everything changes.”
