Fernando Torres thanks Chelsea fans

Fernando Torres sent a message of thanks for Chelsea's fans, who he thinks have been wonderful to him despite his lack of goalscoring form. Torres has only managed five goals in 44 games since his mega money move from Liverpool.

Chelsea's signing has struggled to repay the 50 million fee the Blues paid for him last year, as he continues with his barren run of form in front of goal.


"I would like things to be much better but the support they give me every day is amazing," Torres told Chelsea TV. "I remember a game against Wolverhampton and I was on the bench, and they were still singing my name.


"I've been very lucky to live very good moments but that game, when I was in the middle of nothing and not playing, was maybe the best memory I have in all my career.


"At the beginning of the season, I went through a hard moment, I was not playing, things were wrong and I was eight games without playing - I had never been in this situation before.


"The only thing that gave me hope was the support of the people. That game against Wolverhampton showed me there are important things to fight for, the love of the fans, the support of the club.


"My team-mates as well but the fans are the ones who have always been there from the first day until now."
