Rafael Benitez insists he can help Fernando Torres rediscover his form and win over the Stamford Bridge faithful.
But Benitez acknowledged the 28-year-old is not the same player he had been before joining Chelsea and needed to improve physically to stand a chance of recapturing his glory days. "He's not exactly the same player now, because he was at maximum level at this time [at Liverpool]." Torres also has to help himself, as does Benitez, following a run of just 19 goals in 88 games for the European champions. "The first thing is to give him some confidence, instructions as to how he can do things in a different way, improve him a little bit physically," said Benitez, who wants Torres's team-mates to create more chances for the striker and win the ball back more quickly in defence. "You need to be stronger in defence, regain the ball easier and then you can create your own chances. That will benefit Torres. "Players with mobility, quality... we can improve all these things."
