Cech: Torres will score goals - he does so in Chelsea training!

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech insists Fernando Torres will score goals for the club.

Torres is yet to score for Chelsea since his January arrival from Liverpool.

Cech said: "He does score in training from time to time, like everybody.

"You can see the quality he has, he knows this league, he knows English football and that's his huge advantage.

"When you bring in a player with a big reputation for a big fee and he's coming from a different championship and it starts badly, then you can be worried - we had an example of that with Andriy Shevchenko.

"He was one of best players in the world but you never know how they will adapt to different leagues because football is very different in different countries.

"This is why I'm not worried about Fernando, you can see in his movement and in his communication with the other players that it's getting much better.

"He's helped create lots of good chances for others with his intelligent movement and runs behind the defence. He's been unlucky because he creates chances for himself that he's not taken but it's a question of time because he's doing the right things.

"I'm sure once he gets his first goal it will start a run."
