Fernando Torres believes that the standard of play in the English Premier League surpassed the Spanish La Liga. The 23 year old Liverpool striker joined the ranks early in the summer for £20 million. He has scored 12 goals in 20 appearances since arriving from Atletico Madrid. Asked to compare the different leagues Torres stated:

"I would say football in England is better. It is more attractive than football in Spain, I would say, and certainly faster.

"It's more physical. The progress of the game is slower and there are a lot more fouls in Spain. The football here is more dynamic and it is more fun for the team and the individuals."

Despite the differences Torres seems to have adapted quickly to life in the Premier League. He places his success as a result of the support of fellow team mates both on and off the pitch.
