Interview with Nando from Soccernet 2.15.12
Pretty good interview here, coming from someone who still has high hopes for Nando and wants him to do well in a Chelsea shirt. I think it's a hopeful article.

Somewhat interesting read
At least for some folks here. Not terribly detailed- was hoping they’d dig in a bit more. I found the closing quote to be more of a statement of “positive thinking” than truth, (or just a flat out lie to sound positive). He’s mentioned being disappointed he never got a trophy at his previous clubs… granted that is a team achievement.
The other part that struck me was getting a slight idea of what he is thinking going into games. It doesn’t quite seem to be working when he is going up against some defenders. I wished they’d asked about his hesitation to shoot. He gets few chances, but he seems to speak about it as though he’s taken the shot whenever he has had it. I wonder if he really has trouble seeing some of his shooting positions he has been in when he has failed to pull the trigger, or if he knows he hesitates?
It is interesting how he notes that he previously used to score goals without playing well at his previous clubs, and I used to read that in some reviews of his games for other teams… but of course people eventually glossed over his poor play because he scored. Funny how a goal changes perception. :) Well, right now, most fans would probably accept him standing around doing nothing if he could put a couple in the back of the net. Especially as his recent performances haven’t been as good as the start of his recent run.
I'll take a player who plays well but doesn't score goals over someone who plays poorly but manages to get on the score sheet.

Nope
However, he does say that he feels the best physically that he ever has. Or something like that. So I did wonder about that.
Is AVB listening??
He’s the kind of player I like to play with, especially when he plays in the middle behind the striker," Torres said. “He can assist and find the striker and make the last pass to put you in front of the keeper. You can see why the fans love him.”
