Fernando Torres is looking forward to his first Derby della Madonnina as an AC Milan player and insists he has no regrets about leaving the Premier League behind in the summer.
Torres, 30, joined the Rossoneri from Chelsea on a two-year loan deal in the summer after seeing himself slide down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.
Although he may not have scored as many goals as he or the Milan fans might have expected so far -- netting just once on his starting debut against Empoli -- the Spain international insists he is enjoying every minute of his new adventure.
"Seven years [in England] were enough," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "It's a great league, but it seems better than it is because they know how to sell it and push it more than in other European countries.
"But for me right now, all that counts is AC Milan. They are my priority. AC Milan will be great again because top players want top clubs and the top clubs are those with a great history. Football moves in cycles."
On Sunday, Torres will be involved in his first ever Derby della Madonnina. Having experienced similar occasions in Madrid, London and on Merseyside -- with Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool respectively -- he knows exactly what to expect at the San Siro, which is set to be a sell-out.
"This derby fills me with emotion," Torres said. "A derby is all about passion, for those involved and for those watching.
"Winning this game is the first thing the fans asked me when I arrived at the airport in August. I said 'Claro, vamos a ganar' -- 'Of course, we're going to win it.' Maybe it sounds more fascinating in Spanish.
"These games last six months, everywhere in the world. I just hope I score in this one."
Torres had high hopes of finishing the season as Serie A's top scorer upon joining Milan, and is still confident he can achieve that feat.
"I still do [think I can]," he said. "Milan signed me to score goals, and to score more than anybody else. That's my job, otherwise somebody else will come and do it. But I'm not obsessed about scoring. If I see a better placed teammate, I'll always pass the ball to him.
"If we end a game without scoring but we've created five big chances, then that's a good sign. Only recently, we've been creating less than we should do. This is a problem. Anyway, it's up to us forwards now. We can't always rely on [Keisuke] Honda scoring."
