Fernando Torres insists he will not allow his quest for a first Chelsea goal to weigh on his mind.
The Spaniard is yet to open his account for the Blues since completing a record-breaking £50million move from Liverpool during the January transfer window.
Having drawn another blank on his last outing against Manchester City, Torres has now gone seven games without a goal for his new employers.
He is confident he will soon break his duck, though, with Chelsea’s recent return to form suggesting opportunities will come his way.
For now he is more concerned about helping the Blues stage a late push for the Premier League title, with his own personal targets having to be put to one side.
“I am not anxious about the fact that I haven’t scored my first goal for Chelsea,” Torres said after linking up with the Spain national side ahead of a Euro 2012 qualifier against Czech Republic on Friday.
“This is an issue for the papers, not for me.
“I am confident that the goal will soon come, but it is more important that Chelsea win than I score.”
Ambition
Torres believes Carlo Ancelotti’s side are still capable of defending their top flight title, with just nine points now separating the Blues from leaders Manchester United, while they also have a game in hand.
“I came to Chelsea to win titles and make the most of my career,” he said,
“I would not count Chelsea out of the title race in the Premier League. There is still a chance.”
The Blues are also chasing European glory in the UEFA Champions League this term and Torres admits he is looking forward to a crunch quarter-final clash with United, even if he would have preferred to have avoided a domestic rival.
“The Champions League game against Manchester United will be hard because they are the worst possible draw,” he said.
“The situation is 50/50, though, and we can go through.
“I am a fan of Sir Alex Ferguson because he is a coach that fights for victory, like Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho or Rafa Benitez.
“It is a delight for any player to work with this kind of coach and feed off their success.”
