Chelsea striker Fernando Torres says he should perform better

Chelsea’s striker Fernando Torres has that people expect from him and that he expects to perform better and prove himself to them. The forward moved from Liverpool on January 2011 for a record fee of £50 million and has been under a lot of pressure since then due to his lack of goals.

“The people are looking at me thinking I should do much better and it’s true.The reason you pay that money for someone is that he has shown in the past he is worth that.”

“Now what you have to show is you can have the same value or even more value for things you have done at Chelsea,” Torres said.

“I know I have many things to do at this club to give the confidence back to the owner. The amount of goals I scored last season should be the minimum.”

“I want to ask that of myself but I have enough time. I signed a five-and-a-half year contract and I’m sure the future can only be better,” explained the Spanish national.

He is out of the Chelsea squad after he sustained a knee injury and is expected to be back soon after the international break ends.
