"I Was Swimming In Wet Clothes At Chelsea" - Torress Talks Hard Life In Chelsea

Fernando Torres has likened his struggles during his time at Chelsea as to 'swimming with wet clothes on'. The striker had a torrid time at Stamford Bridge following his £50million move from Liverpool, scoring just 20 Premier League goals over three-and-a-half years before being sent out on loan to AC Milan last summer.
Torres failed to impress at the San Siro and, after the Italian club bought him outright, they loaned him to Atletico Madrid where he is yet to score in 9 La Liga appearances, though he has scored three in four Copa del Rey matches.

The Spain international told El Pais:

'The worst part of not playing is when you think you're prepared and ready to do it. I tried to get minutes at Chelsea and seize opportunities, but things do not always go the best way, and can drag on for weeks or even years. It was like swimming with wet clothes on. Now I know how I am, and I'm fine. At the end those doubts about your quality eventually disappear.'
