AC Milan coach Stefano Eranio says his club will not mistreat striker Fernando Torres in the same way that he claims Chelsea did.
Eranio, who played for Milan and Derby County, reckons the Spanish striker is like a quality car that has to be treated well in order for it to run correctly.
Torres joined Milan on a two-year loan deal from Chelsea last month but is unlikely to return to Stamford Bridge where he struggled to earn a place in Jose Mourinho's first-choice team.
The 30-year-old played 110 times for Chelsea but only scored 20 goals after joining from Liverpool in a £50million deal in 2011.
"Torres is a very humble player, he has great technical and human qualities," Eranio told Milan News.
"In recent years he has not been in contention much and has spent a long time on the Chelsea bench.
"But he is like a car, he needs to play to find his form. He needs the confidence of the coach and to make the most of his surroundings.
"As a coach, I say that I would always want someone like Torres in the team. He arrives in Italy with great enthusiasm, and has specific characteristics that would suit Milan perfectly."
