Spain striker Fernando Torres said Tuesday scoring for Liverpool is helping him adapt to life with the English Premier League title-chasers.

The 23-year-old, who joined the Reds from Atletico Madrid in July for a Liverpool record 26.5 million pound (52.5 million USD, 39 million euro) fee, reckons he has plenty more to do before he feels fully at home at Anfield.

However, a few more goals like his excellent strike in Sunday's 1-1 draw there with title-rivals Chelsea will help him settle in, the Spaniard said.

"Everything is different in England and I have to get used to that," Torres told the club's website.

"The way the fans live the game and sing throughout to create an atmosphere is different. Before the game, everyone sings as well. It is not the same as it is in Spain.

"The English game is more physical, too, but it's nice. It's end to end, it flows more and it doesn't stop so often. For the fans and for the players, that's great.

"Manchester United and Chelsea are the strongest teams, but every game is intense. You have to adapt your game according to your opponents.

"There is a lot of expectation among the fans because of the fee, but all I can do is work and score goals like I did against Chelsea.

"Scoring helps with your adaptation, but I don't feel any pressure, so the goal did not come as a relief."

Liverpool's Spanish boss Rafa Benitez said Torres's goal against the Blues proved his ability to his team-mates.

However, the manager stressed that his compatriot would need more time to bed in at Anfield.

"The players know now that Torres has pace and he can score the goals that we need," Benitez said.

"Fernando showed pace and quality, he scored a great goal for us and the supporters.

"He learned a lot from the game but it is still too early to judge him. He will need a little more time.

"He was playing against the best defenders in England and he had no problems.

"I am very pleased and for the future it was positive. He showed the quality he has and we will see more goals from him."
