Exclusive – Nigel Spackman: Rafa Benitez can get the best out of Fernando Torres at Chelsea

Former Chelsea star Nigel Spackman reckons Rafa Benitez is the right man to get Fernando Torres scoring goals again.

The Spanish striker has gone five Premier League appearances without notching heading in to the Blues’ match with Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

But Spackman feel that Benitez, who bought Torres for Liverpool back in 2007 can get the 28-year-old back to his best.

He told talkSPORT: “[Chelsea] have got a fantastic squad of players there and somebody has got to get them defending better as a team and obviously try and get Fernando Torres on the end of things to score goals and take the pressure off the rest of the team.

“If anybody can do it, I have to say that Rafa Benitez can get the best out of Torres and it’ll be to the benefit of the whole team.”
