Premier League round up: Chelsea
Chelsea’s new acquisition Fernando Torres was not able to perform on his debut against former club Liverpool, but has promised the supporters to improve his form and become one of the very best in the world.
There was so much hype surrounding Torres, as his first match in a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 on the deadline day and a 50-million-pound
deal was signed to bring the 26-year-old to Stamford Bridge. However, he could not make an impact during the game and was substituted in the second half.
During his time at Anfield, many considered Fernando Torres as perhaps the best striker in the Premier League, having scored 65 times in his 102 league appearances for Liverpool. His scoring rate is the second best in the League history, but is currently
struggling to prove his form. He could not make an impact in his nation’s World Cup win in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 in 2010 and was seen withering in pain when the entire squad was minutes away from a win. He never played like he used to for the Reds in the 2010-11 season
and was uninterested in performing under Roy Hodgson.
“In the last two months, I've been playing, if not at my best, close to my best. I expect to be a bit better for the rest of the season. Last year, was difficult with two surgeries on my knees. I needed time to recover. I did,” stated the 50-million-pound
player.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707’ transfer fee is the highest between British clubs and he would have to prove that fee by scoring. On his day, he may be the best centre forward in the world, but is currently lacking the pace or the flair he had two seasons ago.
In his 26 appearances so far in the 2010-11 season, he has scored 6 times. These include the remarkable brace he scored against Chelsea earlier in the season when he was still a Liverpool player.
Torres is the fourth most expensive player in the football history, behind the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029. All those players somewhat lived up to the burden of their transfer fee and Torres would have to prove himself, or risk
being humiliated all his life. Chelsea’s number 9 shirts have been unlucky over the years, as the likes of Hernan Crespo and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andriy-Shevchenko-c6014 failed to prove themselves at Stamford Bridge.
