Swansea City boss, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 and start thinking about the team.
The 48-year-old Dane is currently under fire, after a sudden dip in the Swans performance over the last couple of weeks.
After starting their league campaign in an emphatic manner, the Welsh outfit succumbed to three defeats on the bounce and have only collected 2 points from their last five games.
According to some reports, apprehensions are developing amongst some of the Swansea players, who have expressed their disquiet over Laudrup’s methods of handling things.
Nonetheless, the Danish football legend admonished the players not to prioritized personal satisfaction over the team’s progress.
He put forward the example of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s record signing, Fernando Torres, claiming that the Spanish International shrugged aside the disappointment of his troubled start at Stamford Bridge and now plays as a team man.
Torres had recently admitted that he did not care too much about the Blues results while he was struggling to find his place in the starting line-up. However, he was now only focused on giving it his all for his side’s sake.
“Torres talked about when he was a young player in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and he saw players who were not playing and they didn’t care about the results of the team,” he said.
“He said he would never be like that. But then he said that one day, I think when he was at Chelsea, he did get to that point.”
“Then he said, “I don’t want to do that, I want to be part of the team”. To me that is very important.”
The former Mallorca boss is aiming to replicate the Swans sensational debut 2011/12 league campaign, which saw them finish the table in the eleventh place.
However, the manager has got some issues to tend to as apart from dealing with his players’ grievances, he also needs to overcome some injury woes and extract the best out of the handful of newcomers which arrived during the summer transfer window.
Currently, the Swans are sitting in the eleventh spot, after having managed 8 points from their first 7 games.
