Last updated : 01 August 2008 By Al Campbell
The Liverpool striker had an excellent debut season with the Reds, scoring 33 goals in all competitions. Although defenders will be looking out for him this year the Spaniard is still aiming to be even better this season.

"My aim is to score more than last season, that is what I am working towards," said Torres.

"I, at least, have to aim to equal last year's figure because it is very important to bring goals to the team.

"Getting my mind back on Liverpool after the European Championships will not be a problem. All of us Spaniards came back happy, full of confidence, and with a real desire to stay at the top and keep on winning. We want people to continue talking about us. We now have another chance to leave a mark with the Premier League and the Champ-ions League. I am coming into this season with all the desire and hope in the world.

"Like every season the expectation is huge. People are talking about us winning the Premier League again because we have been some way off for the last few years. It's 19 years since we won it. We also have to be among the best teams in the Champions League again. We are a very competitive side over two legs and I'm certain that we can go a long way."
