Torres like Rush - Gerrard
Striker Fernando Torres has a game very similar to Liverpool legend Ian Rush, according to Reds captain Steven Gerrard.
The Spain striker scored a hat-trick in the 4-2 Carling Cup victory at Reading last night but it was the manner of his performance and not just the goals which impressed Gerrard.
āHe reminds me of Ian Rush. I know Ian Rush was a great striker and as captain I donāt want to put too much pressure on him (Torres) in terms of goals,ā the England midfielder told the Liverpool Echo.
āBut Rushie got a lot of credit for working hard for the team, tracking back and not giving defenders a minute on the ball and thatās what Fernando does.
āIf we keep on delivering through-balls and good service, he has already shown what a great finisher he is.ā
