Fernando Torres<\/a> has admitted last season has been his worst since arriving in England four years ago.<\/p>\nChelsea broke the British transfer record to sign the 27-year-old for \u00a350million in January, although since his arrival, the Spain international has scored just once in 19 appearances.<\/p>\n
The striker blames his form on a groin injury which hampered his preparations, as well as his performances, for Vicente del Bosque\u2019s side in the World Cup last summer, and concedes the setback crept into his displays at both Liverpool and Chelsea.<\/p>\n
“For me the past season was the worst since I arrived in England,\u201d Torres told The Sun<\/em>.<\/p>\n“So I prefer to forget what happened. But I am not sorry I signed for Chelsea. I am convinced that when the Chelsea machine is at its full rhythm we will be very difficult to beat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe injury I sustained at the end the World Cup damaged my performance and made things more complicated than at any time in my career.<\/p>\n
“Twelve goals in all in a season is nothing for me. Never during the season did I play to 100 per cent, neither for Liverpool or Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Torres has targeted winning the Premier League next term and is adamant Chelsea are favourites to do so.<\/p>\n
“I see many goals coming and that will give us significant success. Manchester United are the champions but I insist that we are the main candidates to take their title.”<\/p>\n
“I will always remember in my heart the Liverpool fans and the extraordinary moments I enjoyed at Anfield.<\/p>\n
“But the only thing I desire now are victories with Chelsea.”<\/p>\n
