http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/villa-in-awe-of-magic-torresDavid Villa has praised the magical goalscoring ability of Fernando Torres and reckons the Liverpool star possesses attributes most forwards can only dream of.
The Valencia man acknowledges his Spanish strike-partner has had a difficult year with injuries, but is confident he will soon be back to his best in time to boost both club and country.
"Strikers live for goals, we have to score goals, it is what measures our performance," said Villa.
"At the moment he's (Torres) not having luck in front of goal (for Spain) but his work has been good for the team and we have to be happy with his work-rate.
"A striker with so much quality, such magic and so much experience, despite not having a good year, he is always dangerous and never do you want to face him.
"The power he has in the last few metres - in other things he is very good, but this is unique.
"The start, the power, I've never seen another player with that much power in the last few yards and perhaps that is what we as other strikers want."

Liverpool FC Striker Fernando Torres has been described as “magic” by international team-mate David Villa.
Valencia forward Villa has been linked with a move to Liverpool – as well as a number of their Premier League rivals – in the past but the current state of
Merseysiders’ finances means signing the £35m-rated 28-year-old is an impossibility.Instead, they are limited to international duty in order to play together.
“A striker with so much quality, such magic and so much experience, despite not having a good year, he is always dangerous and never do you want to face him,” Villa said.
“The power he has in the last few metres – in other things he is very good, but this is unique.
“The start, the power, I’ve never seen another player with that much power in the last few yards and perhaps that is what we as other strikers want.”
Meanwhile, highly-rated Palermo centre-back Simon Kjaer, 20, has sounded his desire for a move to Liverpool – and link up with international team-mate Daniel Agger.
Kjaer, who has two years left on his contract, said: “I will take a step towards the dream or I will stay in Palermo.
“I would prefer to have it sorted out before the World Cup. I am ready for a new challenge, but is has to be an attractive club.
“(The) Premier League is the best league in the world and then there is Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain.
“England and the physical playing style would probably suit me better. In case the right offers come, it would be exciting to form a partnership with (Daniel) Agger (at Liverpool).”
Bless they have a man love for each other. Nando always shouting for Villa to be signed and now Villa coming out praising Torres, I think I'm going to cry, it's like one of the movies when the guy doesn't get the girl and there is no happy ending.
