Torres celebrates after scoring at Old Trafford(Image: Peter Byrne/PA Wire)He’s been speaking about the ‘Torres bounce’ and his relationship with Reds fans with the club’s official website following the announcement of the game.
Hopefully it happens (scoring)! I received many invitations from Liverpool to play with them in the past but I couldn’t do it because I was still playing. So, I’ll be so happy to come back and play in a Liverpool shirt again.
That song has been the soundtrack of my career for many years.
I still feel something special when I hear it. It happened in 2015 when I came [back]. It made me feel happy because I know how important the relationship is between players and fans.
I felt so proud from the first day here. I know some of the best strikers in history played for Liverpool at Anfield, so these [fans] saw many good players. So it’s a privilege for them to make a song for me.
I remembered to listen to that song many times when I played at home and away. To listen to it for one more time will be special again.

However, the goalkeeper has kept three clean sheets from his last four outings and is confident Besiktas’ season is set to pick up.
I cannot predict the future, but there will be a change in the sense of a return to positive thoughts.
In the last few weeks we have not shown our true face in some matches and that we have not done our best.
I think we changed that [against Galatasaray] today. We made everyone around us happy. I think there will be a positive change in this sense.
