Torres vows to improve

Fernando Torres had a tough start to life at Stamford Bridge since his £50 million transfer from Liverpool in January and only scored one goal in 18 games, but he has promised Chelsea fans that they will see better from him next season.

Torres scored in Chelsea’s opening preseason game against Wycombe at Cobham and earned an assist after Tal Ben Haim’s bizarre own goal against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

He believes that his sharpness is returning after a much needed summer break and is ready for the challenges ahead.

The 27-year-old said:

“It was a difficult four months for me last season but now I am settled and really happy.

“It’s a new start for me and I am feeling sharper and fitter.

“After five years without a break I could finally enjoy my holiday this summer so I am happier after a rest and some time with my family. Now I am feeling good and ready to start the new season.”

Chelsea fans will hope to see a rejuvenated Torres in their team next season and will hope that he’ll get the goals as he seeks to live up to his big price tag and high wages. The Spaniard could be a big player for us next season, do you think we’ll see the best of him during 2011-12?
