Chelsea Football Club has confirmed today that £50m man Fernando Torres will wear the No.9 shirt previously worn by Chelsea legends Roy Bentley, The King, The Late Peter Osgood, Kerry Dixon and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Torres will be under severe pressure to deliver as quickly as he can, not just for the huge price tag on his head, but for the history of the No.9 shirt worn before him.
In all the excitement of Torres and Luiz's last minute transfers - Torres signed at 10.59pm and Luiz at 10.45pm - you could be forgiven if you have forgotten that Chelsea have a game tonight at the Stadium of Light and Chelsea will be looking for revenge after the disastrous 3-0 defeat inflicted by The Black Cats at The Bridge back in November.
Ancelotti is after revenge. He said, "We have no new injury problems and all the players are in good condition after Everton.
"I don't expect to be making many changes. The players have recovered well and are in a good run of form.
"Sunderland are a dangerous team, especially because they are playing at home but I think they will find a much different Chelsea to the one they played at Stamford Bridge earlier in the season.
"We are over the bad moment which affected us before Christmas but we still need to be at our very best. It is not going to be easy to play at Sunderland."
Doing the Rounds on Twitter - Torres trained today and David Luiz is on the bench tonight and last night in the hotel the players were in text frenzy as the transfer news was breaking CHELSEA ARE BACK!!
COME ON CHELSEA
