Fernando Torres says that he has not come to Italy and to Milan to ‘pass the time’ but rather to leave his mark.
The Spanish striker only played for 10 minutes in the game against Fiorentina on Sunday night but with games against Cagliari and Palermo coming thick and fast, he is equally eager to grab his chance.
“The game just slipped through our fingers when we thought we could control it,” Torres has commented to Radio Onda Cero since.
“In the first 15 minutes of the second half, we could have scored the second goal, but we didn’t and then we all know what happens next in cases like that.
“This season is difficult, important because we are not playing in Europe but we are working to go back there. I’ll give my best to achieve this target, which is the least we have to do.
“[Pippo] Inzaghi’s appointment has generated a lot of enthusiasm especially because of the way we started the season, but we have to stay grounded.”
Torres has scored only once against Empoli” data-scaytid=”16″>Empoli so far, but feels he is improving by the day.
“Personally, I’m feeling better every day. I’m adapting to a new League. This week we are playing three games and the Coach said that he would have needed everybody and in this game I had to start from the bench.
“This is part and parcel of the challenge though because I haven’t come here just to pass the time, but because I want to leave my mark.
“I’m proud of what I’ve achieved in Spain and in England in my career and I’d like things to go likewise in Italy too.”
Torres also compared the three Leagues he has played in and talked about his future chances with Spain.
“It’s difficult to say which league among La Liga, Premier League and Serie A is the best – I think that all of them have their own advantages and disadvantages.
“But in terms of organisation and selling power, the English League certainly is vastly superior to both Spain and Italy. They know how to organise things well for the fans.
“The national team has given me everything and I’d always like to come back and win again.
“I always want to win and see the country united one more time, but at the moment this can be achieved only through doing well at Milan.”
