Fernando Torres on his Chelsea ‘struggle’
Posted Tuesday, September 27, 2011 by The Sun
FERNANDO TORRES has revealed the full frustration of his 'struggle' at Chelsea.
The £50million striker even feared Blues fans would turn on him for his lack of goals.
Torres, sent off against Swansea on Saturday, said: "The first six months for me at Chelsea have been very difficult.
"I have been struggling but I have always had the support of the fans. From the first day until now, every time I talk with them on the street, in the cafe, everywhere, I can feel the support they are giving me."
Torres hit the target just once in his first four months at Stamford Bridge but has now hit two in two games.
The Spaniard, 27, added: "It is nice to start scoring for the fans.
"When you are doing great, scoring goals from the first day and doing good performances it's easy for the fans to love and support you."
Torres found the backing of the fans by having the courage to walk to Chelsea home matches after moving into a house close to Stamford Bridge.
He explained: "The fans' support is something that has impressed me since the first day.
"It's different playing in England, especially at Chelsea, than in Spain. I can do this kind of thing.
"It's a pleasure to be working and be respectful for the people.
"I don't live far from the ground and it is nice to see the atmosphere before the game and all the fans waiting.
"They know I'm coming but it will probably be more difficult next time!"
