"I Want A Better Return From Fernando Torres", says Carlo Ancelotti

Keesh Sundaresan, April 3 2011,
Fernando Torres has failed to have any sort of impact with Chelsea since his huge move from Liverpool and now even Ancelotti seems to have had enough of the Spaniard.

Fernando Torres once again failed to open his goal account for Chelsea in their 1-1 draw with Stoke City yesterday. Apparently, that performance was the last straw for Ancelotti, who has previously backed the out-of-form Spanish striker.

"He has to improve, obviously. But this has been his first two months here. If he has some difficulties building relationships with the players, well, that can happen,” Ancelotti is quoted as saying to The News of the World.

"Sometimes he moves very well on the wrong side of the centre-back and the ball does not arrive at the right time so we have to improve this."

The draw at Brittania literally extinguished Chelsea’s title hopes with Manchester United pulling further forward with a win. However, Ancelotti believes that his job will not be under any sort of threat even if they fail to beat Manchester United in their upcoming Champions League quarter final tie.

"I don't think the club require that I win a trophy to save my position.

"These games against Manchester United will define our season. Not 100 per cent, because if you want to win a trophy it's not enough to beat United. Although it's important, it will not define my legacy at Chelsea."
