Ancelotti not asking striker to score

Hard work

Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that he is happy with Fernando Torres as he does not ask his strikers to score goals. Torres joined Chelsea from Liverpool in a £50million January deal but is yet to get off the mark for his new club. He endured another goalless outing on Tuesday as the Blues overcame Manchester United 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Fellow new recruit David Luiz did manage to find the target against the Red Devils and arguably looked a greater attacking threat than Torres despite being a centre-back. However, Ancelotti has played down concerns over the Spaniard's form, saying he performed well in the midweek encounter. The Chelsea manager was impressed by Torres' overall contribution and insists the lack of goals is not a problem.Speaking about Luiz and Torres, Ancelotti said: "We don't have to compare them. Torres didn't score but I don't ask my strikers to score. "I ask them to play for the team. Torres did a very good job with that. People judge him on the goals he scored but I have to look at different things about his performance. "He worked for the team, put pressure on the defenders, moved well in front and worked hard. "That's enough for me. Ask him, not me, if it will affect him but I don't think it will. I'm not asking him to score."
