AC Milan boss Inzaghi: I must keep trying with Torres

AC Milan coach Pippo Inzaghi insists he will stick with Fernando Torres. Torres was again flat for their 1-1 draw with Inter Milan.

Inzaghi said of the former Chelsea striker: "It's my duty to try. I think he worked hard and we had four attacking players to create more up front, so it's not always easy to support that, but the defenders did very well to cover.

"I believe Torres will soon get back on the scoresheet and I hope so, as we need his goals. I tried to improve the level of quality in attack with players like Honda, Menez, El Shaarawy and Bonaventura to provide better service for him.

"I am trying to put the best team out to get the best out of him. He does well in training, but not every game goes the way it does in training.

"Torres gives his all and I always use the example of Hernan Crespo. Carlo Ancelotti stuck with him when he didn't score for two months, then when he broke through he never stopped scoring."
