Fernando Torres Would Reach 100 Atletico Madrid Goals- Diego Simeone

Diego Simeone the boss of Atletico Madrid has backed Fernando Torres to reach a century of goals for the club sooner rather than later.

Torres has been stuck on 99 goals for Atletico since September 19 when he netted in a 2-0 at Eibar in La Liga as the 31 years old striker has endured a 17-game goal drought which he will hope to end on Wednesday night at city rivals Rayo Vallecano.

Atletico sit level with La Liga leaders Barcelona on 35 points having played a game more than the Catalan club and Simeone insists there is more to come from his squad. “I always expect more from all of them, Fernando loves the club and he is an idol. He has brought a lot to the club, tomorrow he will play and he is close to the famous 100th goal. He always has chances, so he has to continue working as he is and forget the pressure which I do not think is a big problem for him. Things will change and go right for him I am sure, when you least expect it” ' Simeone told reporters.
