Villas Boas defends Torres

The Spaniard has scored just one goal since moving to Chelsea from Liverpool for £50 million in January.

“I disagree [that Torres is lacking in confidence]. Every time a player doesn’t score, people ask questions about him. I know he is a £50m striker but people’s focus is purely on the individual and not the performance of the team. You know the importance the collective has for me. I’m not going to lose time over this. Things will happen naturally,” said Villas Boas.
