Torres: I'll soon be back to my best
Fernando Torres has promised Chelsea fans he is on the brink of recapturing the form that made him arguably the best striker in the world.
Torres is set to make his debut for the Barclays Premier League champions in their much-hyped meeting with the club he controversially quit on transfer deadline day, Liverpool.
Having been rated by many as the the world's number one centre-forward during his first two seasons at Anfield, the 26-year-old endured an injury-hit 2010, which saw him struggle to maintain that level of performance.
He was widely regarded as a passenger during Spain's World Cup triumph and appeared disinterested in the eyes of some observers during Roy Hodgson's doomed Liverpool reign, however, the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager provided a boost and Torres' last four games for Liverpool saw him net three times.
The £50million man said: "In the last two months, I've been playing, if not at my best, close to my best.
"I expect to be a bit better for the rest of the season. Last year, was difficult with two surgeries on my knees. I needed time to recover. I did."
