Fernando Torres will find form like Wayne Rooney did, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti
Chelsea manager, Carlo Ancelotti, continues to show faith in the under fire striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707. The Italian tactician believes that the Spaniard will rediscover himself for Chelsea, just like Wayne Rooney did for Manchester United following his early-season
goal scoring woes.
The Spanish International has failed to deliver on his promise for Chelsea so far. The Spaniard’s 50 million-pound transfer has become the most expensive acquisition in the British history. However, the transfer is yet to pay any dividends as goals continue
to elude the former Athletico Madrid forward; Torres has not scored a single goal for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 despite making eleven appearances in this Barclays Premier League following his transfer.
Talking about the player, 51-year-old Ancelotti said, “Obviously he's (Torres) not happy, and he is disappointed, but it's not easy for him to manage at this moment. He has to show character. Torres is a fantastic transfer, not just for the present but also
the future. We have to wait he will be a fantastic player for the future”.
The Blues coach, then, drew comparisons between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736’s 12 months miserable run of form with Torres’ ongoing struggle.
“Rooney lived the same situation: he was not playing well and not scoring, but everyone at the club maintained good confidence with him. Now Rooney has come back to playing fantastic football. Torres is the same. One goal will give him the opportunity to
move on quickly.” The former AC Milan coach added.
Rooney’s early season struggles are well documented. The player, coming into the league on the back of a disappointing world cup, struggled to retain his first-team status with young Mexican, Javier Hernandez, firing on all cylinders. The 22-year-old had
to endure a miserable campaign until tide changing over-head kick goal against Manchester City. Rooney now has 14 goals to his name in the season.
Ancelotti, for his part, has rated Torres higher than the mercurial http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044, often starting the Spaniard ahead of the Ivorian. This has also led to widespread criticism for the Italian manager. Ancelotti’s decision to bench Drogba for the second leg
of UEFA Champions League Quarter-final against Manchester United was immensely criticized and raised the eyebrows of many Chelsea fans. The Red Devils defeated Chelsea 3-1 on aggregate to seal a semi-finals berth.
According to many football experts, Torres must avail the future opportunities with both the hands and justify his exorbitant fee.
