SOUTH AFRICA – Fernando Torres feels that Liverpool’s decision to appoint Hodgson was right but will not speak about his future until after the World Cup finals.
Torres is currently with the Spain national squad training for Wednesday’s clash with Germany in the semi-finals at South Africa, but may lose his place in the starting XI due to lack of form – which is, not finding the net in the tournament.
“I was happy he got the job,” he said. “He did really well at Fulham and I am sure he can do better for Liverpool.
“He is a very good manager. He showed that in the past and in the last season with Fulham. Hopefully he will be the right man to give Liverpool the opportunity to be strong again.”
However, Torres is still refusing to speak about his future until the World Cup ends on July 11. Manchester City, Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter Milan are reportedly interested in the highly-rated striker.
“I haven’t had a chat with [Hodgson] yet but I will talk with him soon and we will see his ideas about the future,” he said. “For now, my future is here.
“South Africa and the World Cup is too important to think about things after that. I have a very important week still here and after that I will have time to talk with him and talk about my future.”
