Torres has still not scored since moving to Chelsea from
Liverpool in a £50million deal at the end of January.
He was dropped to the substitutes' bench for the 1-1 draw with
Stoke on Saturday, before enduring more frustration during a
30-minute cameo in the second half.
Ancelotti has previously played down the 27-year-old's goal
drought and remains convinced that he will soon start to link up
with his team-mates more effectively.
The Blues manager has called on the other players to make
Torres' job easier by spotting his clever runs, but also concedes
that the Spaniard needs to contribute more.
"He has to improve, obviously," Ancelotti said in the News
of the World.
"But this has been his first two months here. If he has some
difficulties building relationships with the players, that can
happen.
"Sometimes he moves very well on the wrong side of the
centre-back and the ball does not arrive at the same time so we
have to improve this."
Torres has struggled to build up an on-field rapport with Drogba
but Ancelotti has laughed off claims that the Ivory Coast
international is reluctant to pass to his new team-mate.
"This is pub talk," he said. "When we drink in Italy we usually
say 'bar sport'.
"If there is a possibility, they pass the ball without
problem."
The arrival of Torres fuelled speculation that Drogba's days at
Stamford Bridge could be numbered, but the former Marseille
forward's reaction has pleased Ancelotti.
He said: "I spoke with Didier about this and his thought is
this: that Torres is here to improve the power of the team. And,
for this reason, he is happy.
"If he thought that Chelsea had bought Torres to replace him,
obviously he would not be happy."
