The striker has been increasingly pushed to the sidelines of the team since the arrival of Torres on a two-year loan deal from Chelsea.
“Many say I am good at coming off the bench and I am training to be always ready, although I’d like to step on to the field in the starting XI,” Pazzini told Milan Channel.
“We are coming off a bad year and want to bring Milan back to where it belongs. There is a lot of enthusiasm and on Saturday we want to get back to winning ways, because Milan’s habitat is the Champions League and we must try to qualify.
“Torres? We can play together, because when you’re talking about intelligent and talented players anything is possible.”
At the weekend he made his 400th appearance as a professional football player.
“It is a nice achievement and personal satisfaction,” continued Pazzini.
“I have to thank so many people if I got to where I am today and in future there will certainly be a way for me to do that personally.
“There is no particular game I remember more than any other, but I would certainly love to replay the Champions League preliminary round tie for Sampdoria” data-scaytid=”10″>Sampdoria or the Champions League clash with Barcelona two years ago.
“My next targets are 100 Serie A goals and 300 appearances in the top flight.”
