Why torres cant score

Spurred on by his new powers, Torres then went on to score twice in a thrashing. The first was a tidy finish from a Frank Lampard through ball and the second a superbly directed header after Raul Meireles whipped a teasing cross in from the right flank. His performance on the whole was incredibly sharp and gave 'El Nino' a much-needed confidence boost. A year later and Torres had his most prolific season in a Chelsea shirt, notching 22 goals as the West London outfit won the Europa League.

At the tournament, Torres was a shadow of his former self, getting dropped after the quarter-finals and suffering a groin injury after coming on as a substitute in the final, which deprived him of any pre-season training with Liverpool.

Overall, in the 12 months since his surgery, Torres has found the net only 12 times in 47 matches for club and country. Shearer says: "If you are going to be negative, you could say that he has not really played well for three or four consecutive games for a very long time now. You look at the World Cup, you look at his form for Liverpool with injuries, and his form for Chelsea. Calvo says: "Fernando's lack of speed could definitely be a legacy from his injury lay-off.

He has not had enough recovery time. At his very best, Torres has that rare ability to take the viewer's breath away. His destruction of Nemanja Vidic at Old Trafford, his Anfield volley against Blackburn and his unstoppable dipping strike against Sunderland were all moments of sublime skill, but they were also examples of a man brimming with self-confidence, at one with himself and his game. Recently, there appears to be a disconnect between the Spaniard's mind and his body, resulting in him hesitating fatally in possession, taking an unnecessary extra touch or snatching at a chance.

So, how can Torres get his head back in the zone? Shearer: "He just has zero confidence at the moment and he is playing within himself. At Old Trafford, he looked like a guy who was running on empty, completely shot of any confidence, with no belief at all. He looked very tired. I'm sure you'll see a different Torres if he scores a goal. You've got to try to make things happen, things won't just happen for you.

It's a lonely world up front on your own. People will constantly bring up his wages and his price tag but they had nothing to do with him.

You have got to stay strong and stay focussed. When you go for big money. When you switch teams in the same league, from Liverpool red to Chelsea blue, some say you are cursed. Drogba put a curse on his shoes. He wants Torres to fail and end up being sold.

He has cursed him. If Pedro had passed to him then the sold cold curse would have been lifted and Torres would have been his old self again. However, the flood gates could very well fly open if Torres just gets that first goal.

But what if he scored two or three goals at Old Trafford in the Champions League return leg. Signup Now! Previous Post. Next Post.
