Chelsea’s interim manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 broke his goal scoring drought, as he picked up a brace over Leicester City.
The Blues took on Leicester City in the FA Cup, in a game that the team needed to win, in order to progress to the next round of the tournament.
However, with their opponents putting up a hard fight, Chelsea had their work cut out for themselves in the game.
Just when the team needed someone to step up, Fernando Torres decided to come out of his shell and produce, what was arguably his best performance in a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 shirt.
The Spanish international went on to score two goals, while picking up two assists as well. In doing so, he was awarded the man of the match award.
The goals saw the striker end a five month goal scoring drought, which saw the forward score his last goal for the team in 2011.
Following the game, Di Matteo has admitted that he doesn’t want to take anything away from the striker and believes that his work rate and efforts in front of goal were the reason for the team to succeed.
Di Matteo is quoted to have said: “I wouldn’t want to take any credit for that. It is down to the boy’s immense work-rate and effort on a daily basis and on the pitch when he plays.”
“He is not only a very good player but a very good guy as well. I have been speaking to individuals and that includes Torres as well.”
“The whole team, the club and the supporters are all happy for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609. He works so hard for the team and he is a great team player. You get rewarded in life when you work hard.”
However, everyone is now hoping for the forward to continue playing at the level that he displayed against Leicester, since it could prove to be vital for the team.
Should Torres continue to pick his form up, he could easily go on and help the team try and push for a top four finish before the season comes to an end.
