Fernando Torres to Work Hard to get in Chelsea Team

Fernando Torres is hoping that his starring role in Chelsea’s victory over Swindon will convince manager, Jose Mourinho, of his first-team credentials. Torres has seen his role marginalised since the arrival of Cameroon striker, Samuel Eto’o, who has started the previous three league games.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Torres stated: “Hopefully I will have more opportunities to play in the Premier League, the season is long and we have time to play important games.

“We will all be involved. We are in the manager's plans. We have 25 players in the squad and it is difficult to play in this great team.”

Torres has failed to recapture the form that prompted Roman Abramovich to part with £50million, his goal return of 15 league goals in 86 games quite rightly does not justify a starting place in the line-up.

Although he scored last night against Swindon in the Capital One Cup, a competition for which the Blues are the current favourites in the football odds with sportsbooks reviewed by the likes of www.thetop10bestonlinecasinos.com, that isn’t enough to make up for all the poor performances in a Chelsea shirt.

However, Chelsea have no striker in a rich vein of form; Eto’o is still finding his feet in this new league, and fellow forward Demba Ba has failed to make an impact since his January move, while Torres did prove his worth in last year’s Europa League with nine goals in sixteen games.

The Spaniard is a forward who thrives on confidence; if he can recapture that confidence his form will return, which will appease the Chelsea fan-base who have rightly chastised him. With the World Cup this summer, now is the time for the striker to start proving his worth or he could well miss out on Vicente del Bosque’s squad.
