Chelsea boss AVB convinced Torres form now improving

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 01/31/2012 - 09:13

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is convinced Fernando Torres' form is improving.

Tonight sees Torres take on Swansea City as Chelsea travel to the Liberty Stadium for a match they need to win to maintain the pressure on third-placed Tottenham.

Manager Villas-Boas said: "I think we are seeing a player growing in terms of form.

"Eventually we expect goals from it, and we hope those goals will come back."

Asked if he would have expected Torres not to have scored again in the league after netting against Swansea, Villas-Boas replied: "That is the reality, but he has been helping the team.

"Fernando has equally one of the most assist totals for other players in the club so he is producing for the others as well.

"I think he is confident, to be fair. For the kind of effort he is doing, eventually it will be repaid."
