Chelsea striker Fernando Torres, has claimed that he has not been treated fairly since he arrived at the club for a record fee of £50million.
The Spain international has scored only 15 times in 87 Premier League games, but is of the opinion that criticisms of his performance have been overboard.
“It’s the feeling that I have had from the first day. There has been the situation going on with the club, the way the team are going and then my own way,” he told the Evening Standard.
“There has been an overreaction about everything. Overreact when I did that miss or if I have a red card or I hit the crossbar instead of scoring a goal.
“They never talk about the good things. More or less from the beginning to this day, it’s been the way I feel.”
In another interview with Chelsea TV, Torres admitted that he should be doing more for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
“The people are looking at me thinking I should do so much better and it’s true.
“The reason you pay that money for someone is that he has shown in the past he is worth that.
“I know I have many things to do at this club to give the confidence back to the owner. The amount of goals I scored last season should be the minimum.”
