Chelsea’s new striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 feels that he needs more support from his teammates to find his best scoring form.
The former Liverpool striker has demanded Carlo Ancelotti to play him in the formation which has two forwards rather than using three strikers upfront.
Torres said, “The strikers we have depend on the play of the rest of the team. With two lines of four the other day the team played really well and the balance was really good and compact. It worked well, sometimes playing balls behind the centre-backs or
sometimes between the lines - and Nico likes to play like this way.”
