Fernando Torres has reiterated his commitment to Chelsea and hopes he has a role to play under "demanding" new manager Jose Mourinho.

Speaking on Spanish radio, Torres said: "I am the first person to admit that a lot more was expected of me. Now I have the added pressure of Mourinho. He is a very demanding coach but he always guarantees success, and I trust that he has a plan for me."
