Was opening my Yahoo Mail for reading today and the sentence used in the article written by Tom Adams - Correspondance for Yahoo sports made me laugh, YES laugh for quite a while.
"Asking Torres to lead the line for this Chelsea team is like arming a Ninja with a baguette."
Ouch! Don't thrust that Baguette into my stomach!
Not that i am a person who takes personal fun in someone else's pain but that quote best described Torres at Chelsea. C'mon it was funny and im still giggly writing this.
But i really think that class is permanent but that somehow, the managers, team-mates and his own agent and close aides don't give him the room to be just himself again. The Price-Tage didn't help for sure. Neither did the "fractious" time with Drogba and the fans for sure. It is just pressure pure and simple.
I always had the thought that should one day the fans and manager are to breaking point with him, that Arsene can re-juvenate his prolific side again. Like Wenger said playig the Arsenal way requires confidence to keep the passing-tempo up and to continue to make good runs for team-mates. All this is not possible without teamwork and just letting the players enjoy the game. When it is like this, attack and the Arsenal way flourishes.
If any manger can make Torres' built-up stress dissapear and the Real Torres appear, i'd bet my HDB deposit Le Prof can!
Oh thats's football for you. Of baguettes and Missing Men.
Let's look forward to a public holiday coming next Tues.
Cheers everyone.
