The Blues interim boss has stressed that the former Liverpool hit-man will start finding the net more often, while adding that the Spaniard is a class player.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 will return to his goalscoring form, while adding that the Spanish talisman is a class player.
The 28-year-old, who arrived at Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2011 for a whopping £50 million from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, has been struggling to hit the back of the net on regular basis.
However, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan boss has insisted that the prolific striker will return to his goalscoring form in the coming months, as he is working extremely hard in the training sessions and is scoring goals as well in practice matches.
“Fernando is a great player and his team-mates know he's a great player. He is doing a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. He scored a lot of goals in training on Monday”, Benitez was quoted as saying to journalists.
The Spanish mentor, who started his professional coaching career at Real Valladolid in the 1995/96 season, went on to insist that the former Atletico Madrid ace has played a vital role in helping his side’s back-line, especially on set-pieces.
“It's not just scoring goals. We changed his position at corners and, if you analyse them, he was amazing. Two or three times he's cleared the ball and afterwards was doing man-to-man marking – because it's what he had to do. So he's helping the team to
defend. As a striker, you like him to score goals but winning is the main thing. He is an important player for us”, Benitez concluded.
Torres made a tremendous start to his English Premier League career when he moved to Anfield from Atletico Madrid at the start of the 2007/08 season to play under the stewardship of Benitez.
The 28-year-old netted an impressive 24 goals in 33 league games in his first season at Anfield, and he scored an exceptional 72 goals in 116 games in all competitions under the leadership of the Spanish trainer.
Benitez would be hoping that he could bring the technically gifted striker’s goalscoring form back during his time at Stamford Bridge, and help the Blues to compete for silverware successfully.
