He&#8217;s been unlucky because he creates chances for himself that he&#8217;s not taken but it&#8217;s a question of time because he&#8217;s doing the right things.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m sure once he gets his first goal it will start a run.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old also admitted that club owner Roman Abramovich is desperate for the club to win their first ever Champions League trophy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know Roman Abramovich quite well, I&#8217;ve been here seven years, he is still present at training sessions, he still comes to our matches,&#8221; said Cech.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously he&#8217;s happy when we win things, and of course we all want to win the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the only trophy missing from the Chelsea cabinet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2914\/champions-league\/2011\/04\/05\/2426924\/petr-cech-backs-fernando-torres-to-start-scoring-goals-for\" title=\"Petr Cech backs Fernando Torres to start scoring goals for Chelsea soon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Petr Cech backs Fernando Torres to start scoring goals for Chelsea soon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Adithya Ananth 5 Apr 2011 09:50:00 Fernando Torres,Chelsea(Getty Images) Related Links Teams Players Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has backed Fernando Torres to start scoring goals for the club.
