Chelsea striker Fernando Torres admits that it is vital that he improves his form under "demanding" new manager Jose Mourinho.

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has admitted that he must improve his game under new boss Jose Mourinho.

The Spaniard has struggled to hit top form since his move to the Blues in January 2011 and has often been criticised for his lack of potency in front of goal.

Torres told reporters: "Mourinho is a very demanding coach but he always guarantees success and I have confidence that he has something prepared for me.

"I know he expects much more from me — but I expected more from myself. Now I have the added pressure of Mourinho and that's a challenge for any player.

"So I am looking forward to the conversation with him and discovering what his plans are for me. Chelsea is where I am and where I want to be."

Torres scored 23 goals in 64 appearances for the Blues in all competitions last season.
