Blues dressing down for Torres

STRIKER Fernando Torres spent yesterday being quizzed by the club over an interview in which he appeared to criticise his teammates.

Torres, who has endured a miserable run in front of goal since his €57m move from Liverpool, was quoted on Spain’s La Liga website branding Chelsea’s “older” players “very slow”.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas sought an explanation from Torres, who claimed his words were not translated accurately on his own website. Chelsea sought a copy of the interview in its original Spanish and Villas-Boas revealed he would warn Torres not to speak so candidly about the club in future if the translation did stand up.
