Fernando
Torres has set his sights on next week's top of the
table clash with Chelsea after his sensational hat-trick inspired
Liverpool to a thumping 6-1 success over Hull
City.
The striker notched up his fourth
treble for the club on Saturday to help Rafael Benitez's men see
off the Tigers and take his tally for the season to eight.
It capped an electrifying performance from the number 9, who is now
targeting a repeat of last year's Stamford Bridge triumph when they
face Carlo Ancelotti's side next Sunday.
"When you score a hat-trick it is always an amazing day," he
said.
"The team scored six, we won the game and it is fantastic for us
because we have a lot of confidence now. It was important for me
and for my teammates.
"After starting the season with two early defeats we knew we needed
to improve. We are now winning games at home against sides in the
middle or near the bottom of the table and it has given us more
confidence.
"As a team we are now in a good moment. We must keep trying to
improve. We have a difficult game next weekend at Chelsea and we
will be on the same points as them if we win the game, so we are
looking forward to it."
After bursting the Hammers' bubble with a deadly double last
Saturday, Torres produced the type of virtuoso display that has
already seen him cement his place as a Kop idol.
A hat-trick inside 48 minutes all-but wrapped up the points for
Benitez's side and when Torres was replaced by Ryan Babel
soon after, he was far from
disappointed to see the Dutchman carry on where he left off.
"Ryan came on in my position and scored two," he said. "I am really
happy for him because he deserves to play. Not everyone can play 90
minutes, so it's good for the team and the squad.
"Last season was very long for us. We are still not at our best,
but we will be soon and performances like today can only help. I am
now scoring goals and so is the team - that is good for
Liverpool."
Steven Gerrard
got the hosts' other goal on a day
when Liverpool completely overwhelmed one of the Barclays Premier
League strugglers.
It was the latest in a string of results that has also seen them
defeat Burnley and Stoke in L4, leaving Torres to suggest they have
finally discovered the secret to unlocking the stubborn defences
that frustrated them last term.
"We know we can beat the top teams like Chelsea and Manchester
United but have lost points in the past against other sides," he
said.
"We are winning these now and if we can keep doing the same against
the best teams we will be close to the top.
"Next, we have the Champions League match in Florence and after
that we can focus on Chelsea.
"Hopefully we can win at Stamford Bridge like we did last season.
If we can do that we will be in a fantastic position."
