Chelsea signing Torres: I will not celebrate scoring against Liverpool

Chelsea signing Fernando Torres says he won't celebrate if he scores against Liverpool on Sunday. Torres has moved to take the sting out his debut against his old club tomorrow.

He promised not to celebrate if he scored against his former club on Sunday, saying: "I have big respect for Liverpool fans."

But he admitted the thought of going one step further and asking to sit out the game had not crossed his mind, adding: "Why would I?"

The 26-year-old shrugged off the pressure of his price tag, a record fee between British clubs.

"I have been in this situation before when I signed for Liverpool - big money, big expectation, so this is not new," he said.

"I'm more than ready for the challenge."
