Torres 'a better person' after turbulent 18 months

Fernando Torres today declared he was a “better player and better person” for his turbulent first 18 months at Chelsea but admitted he would not want to go through it again.

Torres insisted he would “change nothing that happened” to him last season because it made him “stronger than ever” and categorically denied threatening to walk away from Stamford Bridge if he was not guaranteed first-team football.
