TORRES: "The kind of player Chelsea has plays very slow!"

I posted this morning about the reason I thought Fernando Torres hasn't been a success so far at the club, and the fact that Mata and Meireles coming in will change his luck here.

In an interview posted here, he more or less confirms exactly what we thought. He said:

"When I changed club, I knew it was going to be a slow process, although I didn't expect it to be so long.

Chelsea is, between the English teams, maybe the least English. That's because of the kind of player Chelsea has - an older player, who plays very slow, who has a lot of possession, and that's what the club is trying to change now.

It's normal that it takes some time; it's not easy to find midfielders because the best are already in the best teams and that's why I said that the arrival of Mata is going to give another pace to the team.

Daniel Sturridge, who has been ruled out for some matches, is also an incredible player, maybe the one that surprised me the most since I came here.

In the next matches, you will see another pace, and I hope the midfield will adapt to that pace.

That is what you need in the Premier League. If not, then the teams don't work. When the team will start to get the ideas of the new coach, about paced and vertical football, it's going to be very good."

Torres has it spot on for me and is saying exactly what we have all been thinking for a while now. I posted about Sturridge too and more or less the same as what Torres has said.

I really can't wait for the game tomorrow to see a new pacey attacking Chelsea side and we WILL see Torres scoring goals for fun.

Let's hope we make a start there and build on this for United next week!.
