Chelsea
manager Carlo
Ancelotti has
attempted to take some of the heat off £50 million
signing Fernando Torres
by insisting he is "not
asking him to score".
When asked about the different impacts made by Torres and Luiz,
Ancelotti told Chelsea magazine: "We don't have to compare
them. Torres didn't score but I don't ask my strikers to score.
"I ask them to play for the team. Torres did a very good job
with that. People judge him on the goals he scored but I have to
look at different things about his performance. He worked for the
team, put pressure on the defenders, moved well in front and worked
hard.
"That's enough for me. Ask him, not me, if it will affect him
but I don't think it will. I'm not asking him to score."
Torres, 26, insists he will adapt to the new style of play at
Chelsea. He added: "If you want to be a top player, you have to be
able to play in all these situations and I'm sure here at Chelsea I
will play in different positions sometimes.
"I'm ready for this because I want to play where the manager
asks me to - I know the competition is high here. My movement often
depends on the game and on the other team, if they are deep or if
they leave space behind. Normally the striker has to be on the
shoulder of the centre-backs to leave a space for the midfielders
coming forward.
"That's what I have been doing at Liverpool for the last 3½
years and it's one of the things I like to do."
