Fernando Torres has finally spoken about how he has struggled to adapt with life at Chelsea after his life-changing move from Liverpool
Fernando Torres took a massive £50 million out of Chelsea's pocket but he has not found the net yet- despite already playing five games for his club. And with Carlo Ancelotti confirming that he will not start against Kobenhavn later tonight, Torres might just need to get back to his form before more criticism emerges.
Nonetheless, Fernando Torres has spoken about how difficult life has been at London and he admitted that some things look like a 'real mess' at times.
"There are moments when everything seems a mess," he told The Independent.
"The first few weeks are not easy. You don't just arrive and everything is waiting for you. You have to get to grips with a new city, there's all the paperwork, looking for an apartment. It takes time to find your feet and there are moments when everything seems a mess."
He added: "London, though, is a huge city. If there is not too much traffic, it can take me about forty minutes to get to training. On a bad day it can take ages. Life in Liverpool was very different. I venture out in London, but I'm in awe of the city."
Despite his poor form for Chelsea, Fernando Torres has received backing from his fellow teammate Salomon Kalou, who still believes that it is only a matter of time before the Spaniard starts scoring regularly.
"I don't think he has pressure - he's a top striker and he has been through that kind of thing before," Kalou said.
"He has changed teams in the middle of the season, which is never easy, so I think he is going to need time to adapt.
"He's going to play and you can only have pressure on you if you're not playing the next game and not scoring. He's going to have the opportunity and he's a top striker."
