Torres: Liverpool success down to team effort

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres insists there are no stars at Anfield, every player is of equal importance. The Spaniard told the club's official website: "A Benitez team is never just about one player but about the group. We have a solid unit that knows how to win games playing our way.

"We have beaten the big teams without me and on occasions without (Steven) Gerrard, like the game against Manchester United. I think that was a positive for the team as a whole; it illustrated that importance of every player in the squad.

"Everyone is important here, we are working towards the same goal of ensuring that Liverpool win the Premier League. If we are able to achieve this it will have been a joint effort - no one player will take the most credit. It is a group effort."
