Chelsea to adapt to Torres' style of play

Mourinho impressed with Torres' efforts in training

It looked as if Torres' career at Stamford Bridge may come to a halt when Chelsea bid for Wayne Rooney. Valencia are even keen on taking El-Nino back to Spain. Instead, Jose Mourinho has encouraged the Spaniard to stay and has been impressed by his work rate and efforts at the training pitch.

Mourinho said: “I don’t know if it’s confidence. I feel the guy is highly motivated, he works very hard. Some of the work we do with the team in terms of attack suits his qualities. So let’s see what happens. We’re here to support him."

Torres came off the bench in the 72nd minute against Inter Milan

 “Usually when he is clear he scores – but he’s missed. We know that this is Torres’ game.

He added that Chelsea will try to get the best out of El-Nino by adapting itself to his game.

"We want the team not to learn how to play with him, but to improve how to play with him. He is working hard in training, we are happy with him.”




Asked if he will try to remodel Torres' game to suit Chelsea's play, Mourinho said:
“Will I try to re-model his game? Not his game, his game is impossible to remodel.

"But we want to adapt the team and teach the team how to use his best qualities because his game is his game.
"He is what he is and he is very good with the qualities that he’s got. So we need to learn and support his game.”

Chelsea will now play AC Milan in another friendly in New York on Sunday night. Torres will want to score and further impress the boss Jose Mourinho.
