Fernando Torres: "I will try my heart out" for Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea’s £50Million flop Fernando Torres is adamant that he will continue to work hard to regain his prolific goalscoring days, to repay the faith shown in him by the club.

The Spaniard scored a brace in Thursday’s home leg of The Europa League quarter-final match against Rubin Kazan, his third and fourth goals since the turn of the year. His other two goals came in the shape of the equalizing goal against Brentford to earn the Blues a FA Cup replay, and a goal in the home win over Steaua Bucureşti last month. He is yet to score a Premier League goal in 2013.

“I want to do the things I used to do all my life,” said Torres.

“I did them at Atletico, I did them at Liverpool and I am not doing them at Chelsea. I am working on it. If I knew the reason, I would fix it. The only way is to work at it.”

“I know my statistics have not been the same as in other years but I’m fighting to get back to those statistics, I am getting better but I’m still not at the level I want. I will try my heart out for this club.

“There are too many things I have to give back to these people and I want to show my thanks to them.”

Chelsea are still in the hunt for two trophies, with their Europa League quarter-final coming up on Thursday, followed closely by the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on Sunday.

“Hopefully this season we can give them two more trophies and next season we can fight again for the biggest ones: the Champions League and the Premier League,” Torres said.

I do not believe Fernando Torres has earned the right to talk about Chelsea FC next season. He may have scored twice on Thursday, but he is still our third best striker (including Romelu Lukaku). His wages are way too high for a player who deserves, at best, to be sat on our bench. I don’t think Roman Abramovich could possibly be eyeing up another season that could be decided by Nando’s goals (or lack there of!).
