Chelsea striker Torres details his two-goal return to form

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres was happy to discuss his brace against Leicester City last night.

He agreed that it was not the best touch for the first goal.

"Well, you're desperate, desperate so you're not going to relax,'' said Torres of his arrival at the end of a super build-up involving John Obi Mikel, Daniel Sturridge and Raul Meireles. "It's a good team move. Many passes, counter-attack. Good transition and good finish into the corner.

"The main thing is we are making more chances. I think maybe this season I am playing at a very good level but I was not scoring goals in this period and the job of the striker is to score goals.

"So if you don't do it then the people think you are playing badly but for me the main thing is the support of the people. They have all been with me. The team-mates, the staff. I feel the confidence of the manager now."
