Benitez plans Torres revival

[KingFemzee]

afael Benitez is confident he can bring out the best in Fernando Torres at Chelsea, after being named the club's new manager on Wednesday.


Benitez, who is set to be officially unveiled at a press conference later on Thursday, will hope to prove to Roman Abramovich that he is worthy of a longer stay at Stamford Bridge after signing a short-term deal at the club.

One of the keys to Benitez's reign may prove to be the form of Torres, who has never found top gear since his record-breaking £50 million transfer from Liverpool.

The Spain international scored 65 goals in 102 league appearances for Liverpool, operating largely under the influence of Benitez. His Chelsea statistics read a much more modest 11 strikes in 58 games.
