Albertini calls for AC Milan patience with Torres

AC Milan hero Demetrio Albertini is convinced Fernando Torres will come good.

The on-loan Chelsea striker is yet to score for Milan.

"I played with him when he was a rising star in European football," Albertini told the Corriere della Sera.

"Fernando does not have the characteristics of a striker in the area, he is not a 'bomber'.

"He is a player who needs to be supplied service, but with the formation that was used on Sunday, with two players like Essien and Muntari to break up play, how can such service be delivered?

"Torres is a player of Milan for his past and his professionalism.

"But in the last two seasons he has played little and Italian football is completely different from La Liga and the Premier League. So, we must wait for him, otherwise it is a problem."
