Torres has no form fears
Striker insists he has not forgotten how to score
Fernando Torres is confident he will recapture his best form this season after a difficult start to his career at Chelsea.
The Spaniard managed just one goal in 18 appearances for the Blues after his £50million move from Liverpool in January.
Torres' form this pre-season has already come under scrutiny after failing to find the net in their first three friendlies, but the 27-year-old insists he has not forgotten how to find the back of the net.
"I'm 27. Don't worry I don't forget to score goals... I will score," said Torres.
"It's going to be a big season. My form is okay, it's time to be fit and ready. We're trying to get into the best form. We have got big expectations and I can see the winning mentality we have (at Chelsea)."
"We are starting a new season with a new manager with new people around the team and it's time to be fit and ready."
Torres' lack of form has drawn comparisons with former Blues forward Andriy Shevchenko, but Chelsea skipper John Terry has backed the 27-year-old to come good.
"I think that's unfair on Fernando, he had the injury he sustained at the World Cup and came into the season with that," noted Terry.
"He would have liked to have scored more goals than he did. He's in the same position as everyone else, he's looked sharp in training and in the games also.
"He's happy, there's a bit of pressure on him but that's why he's one of the best strikers in the world. He wants to win the Premier League, that's one of the first things he said to me."
