Chelsea flop Fernando Torres has spoken of his horrible maiden season at Stamford Bridge for the first time and admitted that the season was the worst ever he has endured whilst in England.
The Spaniard joined Chelsea during the January transfer window for £50million in a move which was supposed to allow the former Atletico Madrid star to blossom and begin to accumulate the club honours which as of yet have eluded him.
However, the move turned out to be a big snafu as a painfully off-form Torres netted just once in 18 matches for the Blues and was often hauled off before the final whistle by an exasperated Carlo Ancelotti.
Reflecting on his premier season in South-West London, Torres admitted that he had failed to justify his extortionate price tag he came with but pinpointed injuries as the root cause of his lack of form.
“For me the past season was the worst since I arrived in England,” he was quoted as saying in the Mirror.
“The injury I sustained at the end the World Cup damaged my performance and made things more complicated than at any time in my career. Twelve goals in all in a season is nothing for me. Never during the season did I play to 100 per cent, neither for Liverpool or Chelsea.
“So I prefer to forget what happened. But I am not sorry I signed for Chelsea. I am convinced that when the Chelsea machine is at its full rhythm we will be very difficult to beat.”
Torres then suggested that the new Chelsea manager – yet to be named – will have no problems in helping him and fellow Chelsea striker Didier Drogba become a formidable strike partnership by squashing suggestions that he couldn’t play in the same side as the big Ivorian.
“I do not have problems with Drogba. Sincerely, I am very connected with Didier. He is a sensational footballer and our possible rivalry is positive for Chelsea,” he stressed.
Oh Fernando! Worry not, we at In The Stands have the perfect cure for a man who clearly has forgotten how to hit the net. So specifically for you Mr Torres, here is some A-Class nostalgia:
