Fernando Torres has revealed that he is enjoying life at Liverpool because he 'feels free' after becoming burdened by the captain's armband at Atletico Madrid.
The Spain international has become an idol at Anfield since his move in the summer of 2007 and he thinks that it was the lifting of the strain placed on him at Vicente Calderon that helped.
At 19, Torres was made captain of Los Colchoneros and he feels that he was far too young to be the leader of a team and is revelling in the fact that he is not the main man at Liverpool.
"Here I am not longer like I was in Madrid where everything was focussed on me," he told Spanish news agency EFE.
"I did not have any experience so how could I have been the leader of players with more experience. That was pressure.
"At Liverpool I feel free because I do not have the captain's armband. My play has gone up in quality since moving here."
