    <span class="titolo">Torres Is World Class - Carragher</span></p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p>

    <span class="sommario">Jamie Carragher believes that Fernando Torres is one of the best strikers in the world and could become the goalscorer that the club have been looking for.</span></p>

    The Reds' defender has been very impressed witht the Spaniard since his arrival from Atl&eacute;tico de Madrid in the summer and thinks his pace and strength are his main assets.

    Torres netted twice in Liverpool's Champions League triumph over Porto on Wednesday and now has ten goals in his first 16 appearances for the Merseyside outfit.

    "He is a world-class striker and he's probably up there with anyone now in striking terms. I only have to mark him in training, thankfully," Carragher told Liverpoolfc.tv.

    "It's raw pace and strength that he's got and that will cause defences problems.

    "It was a big relief when he got the second goal because when it's 1-1 anything can happen. It was a great goal by Fernando, showing what a top player he is. It was a great performance from him. He's been outstanding all season but he's done it in the Champions League and in a big pressure game like that.

    "He looks like becoming the 20-goal a season striker we've been crying out for but it's not just that, it's the work he puts in. He puts himself about and I think people appreciate the graft he puts in. Even if he doesn't score he makes it really tough for defenders.

    "He's a great lad as well but as long as he's scoring goals it doesn't matter what he is!"

    Carragher then reflected on Liverpool's chances of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League as they have now have to go to Marseille and win.

    "When we came into the competition we probably wouldn't have liked to be in this position but, after the start we made, we're delighted to be going there with it in our own hands," he continued.

    "We realise it's going to be very difficult. We played there a few years ago in the UEFA Cup and we know the atmosphere. It will be a great game to play in, so hopefully we will get the right result now.

    "We've got to have confidence in the players that we have. Marseille have got good players too and they proved that at Anfield. With our experience, and the way we have played over the last few years in Europe, we have got to be confident.

    "We're Liverpool, we have good players, so we don't have to fear anyone."</div></p>
