Fernando Torres admits he must start scoring for Chelsea as he looks finally to break his duck against Blackpool on Monday.<\/p>\n
Torres has flopped in front of goal since his \u00a350million move from Liverpool, drawing a blank in each of his four matches for the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n
Manager Carlo Ancelotti claimed after Tuesday night’s win over Manchester United that he does not ask his strikers to score.<\/p>\n
But Torres accepts he was not bought to fire blanks and is confident that once he bags his first for the club, the floodgates will open.<\/p>\n
“I know I’m here to score goals,” he told Chelsea TV. “It’s the job of the striker, so hopefully I can score the first and I’m sure it will be the first of many.”<\/p>\n
Torres has previously insisted it was always going to take time for him to settle at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
He revealed he is still finding his feet but believes he is beginning to adapt to Chelsea’s style of play and is building up his match fitness following an injury-plagued 2010.<\/p>\n
“Trying to settle here, but much better, much better fitness,” he said. “I felt the other day against Man United very good, sharp.<\/p>\n
“So, waiting for the first goal and excited about that possibility.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully, I can score against Blackpool.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
