"I tried to help people, especially early on when they'd just signed," Carragher said.
"The example is [Fernando] Torres. At first I thought, 'God, I'm not getting much out this one'. He didn't say a word to anyone and was struggling in training for the first week. "So I bought my son a kit with Torres's name on the back. I brought James into Melwood to try make Torres feel a bit better. James was only four-years-old and didn't have a clue.
"Torres obviously proved himself as a very good player but I thought he needed a lift, so I did what I could. The club made a huge investment in him. "I cared about the club but most of all I wanted Torres to score the goals that would win us games."Torres went on to score 33 goals that season, and would probably have done so regardless of whether Carragher had took such measures to try boost his confidence. However, it shows Carragher's drive to help the club win, and his own motivation skills.
