AC Milan striker Fernando Torres had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Football Italia): "I'm here to win, to remain for many years and to take advantage of the opportunity that Milan have offered me. My objective is to win the Scudetto, first of all. If I only win half of what he [manager Filippo Inzaghi] won, then I will be glad."
"And being substituted in games? Being removed from the field is something I do not like," he added. "As any player does not. I have no problem with Inzaghi nor the coaching staff, but I do want to stay on the field for 90 minutes."
