Chelsea boss Villas-Boas praises fans for backing Torres during win

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 01/15/2012 - 01:49

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas was grateful to the home support for backing Fernando Torres during their 1-0 win yesterday.

Torres remains without a goal, however, as it was Frank Lampard who popped for the winner.

Villas-Boas, who is playing Torres during Didier Drogba's absence at the African Nations Cup, said: "He's getting his good run now of games, finding inspiration, finding motivation, finding form, has all the team behind him and has the fans behind him as you saw today.

"It's good to see that the player is picking up confidence, assisting people. He hasn't been scoring but is getting nearer every time.

"As long as he helps the team to win games, I think we are happy with what he's doing."
