Fernando Torres scored the final goal of Chelsea's summer tour 2011 and before boarding a plane to fly home, the Spanish striker spoke to Chelsea TV about the moment. The Aston Villa defence had barely time to adjust to the fact that Torres and Didier Drogba had entered the second half of the Hong Kong game before Florent Malouda's misdirected shot was diverted past Shay Given.

It was Torres's first goal since the opening pre-season match against Wycombe and he told Chelsea TV:

'It gives you confidence when you score with the first ball you touch, but especially because with a 2-0 lead we closed the game.

'A striker has to always be ready to score and when you score with the first time you touch the ball you have already done your work so everything is easier after that.'

It was the first time Andre Villas-Boas had played that striker combination and he did so as a front two with a diamond midfield behind them. First Nicolas Anelka and then Yossi Benayoun was the player behind the front two.

'When you have players with quality and players who can play in different positions you are able to use different formations and that is good,' Torres said, 'because depending on the opposition and the scoreline and the competition, you have to change the system. It is very good news as it is working very well, the same as the 4-3-3.

'Our fitness is very good, we have won all the games we have played and it is only two weeks until the start of the season. The manager has given minutes to everyone and everyone feels they are part of the team and that is important.'
