Chelsea striker Fernando Torres admits he has to put more effort at the club in order to justify his £50m price tag.
The
Spaniard, currently on the sidelines with a knee injury, concedes that
he needs to score more goals but he is confident that he will deliver if
he is given more time.
Torres
scored 23 goals last season in all competitions, and has won the
Champions League, Europa League and FA Cup in his time at Stamford
Bridge.
He
has scored 37 goals in 139 appearances in his Chelsea career so far but
his move from Liverpool - where he scored an impressive 81 goals in 142
appearances - has not been the success most predicted so far.
"The people are looking at me thinking I should do much better and it's true," he told Chelsea TV.
"The reason you pay that money for someone is that he has shown in the past he is worth that.
"Now what you have to show is you can have the same value or even more value for things you have done at Chelsea.
"I
know I have many things to do at this club to give the confidence back
to the owner. The amount of goals I scored last season should be the
minimum," said the 29-year-old, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury.
"I
want to ask that of myself but I have enough time. I signed a
five-and-a-half year contract and I'm sure the future can only be
better."
