Carlo Ancelotti: Fernando Torres is a gamble



I have a say

Posted Friday, February 24, 2012 by YAHOO Sport

Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti says that Chelsea striker Fernando Torres is a risky investment.

The Spain international has failed to impress at Stamford Bridge since joining the club from Liverpool in January 2011 for 50 million pounds.

With only five goals to date in a Chelsea shirt, Torres has come under criticism from the fans, and Ancelotti, who coached the player in the second half of 2010-11, says the Spaniard may never show his true colors with the Blues.

"He is a gamble," Ancelotti told Tuttosport. "I coached him after he spent some time injured, but the time for waiting has gone on too long. He is still a great striker and perhaps in the right atmosphere he could return to Liverpool."

Quizzed on his opinion about Frank Lampard, who was linked with a move to PSG on Thursday, Ancelotti said: "He is more of a sure thing".
