Fernando Torres, back of the net!
April 25th, 2011 BY CFC Net
The roar that erupted when Fernando Torres finally hit the back of the net was, for those in the stadium, as loud a noise as anyone could
remember at Stamford Bridge. Although part relief at having sealed three points to keep our slim Premier League hopes alive, the raised volume was more because Britains most expensive player had at last scored for Chelsea.
Coming as it did in the 84th minute, in a closely fought game on a rain-soaked pitch, made it all the sweeter. And what a goal it was. Nicolas Anelka collected a headed knock down and threaded the ball expertly through to Torres in the penalty area. With the ball sticking to the surface it looked like Torres would overrun the ball, but with a strikers instinct he checked back, took one touch and stroked the ball into the far corner.
For many Chelsea fans the relief was probably greater than it was for Torres. The striker admitted as much by later remarking that he had started feeling more embarrassed for the fans than himself.
He wasnt wrong it was starting to get irritating for many of us at CFCnet to walk to work on a Monday to be met with the sly question,
So, hows Fernando doing? or to read Liverpool players subtly have a dig or two at the Spaniard with lines such as, with our new attack we can play it long or short which is better than what we had before.
Worst of all was the continuous press carping over how many minutes and seconds Torres had been playing for Chelsea without scoring.
Obviously some poor student intern at The Sun had been tasked with keeping a stopwatch in the hope that it would make a ready-made headline for the next mornings papers. For those interested, Torres goal registered at 83 days, 14 games, 12 hours and 12 minutes of football (© The Mail on Sunday).
CFCnet is thrilled for Torres. Joining a team half way through a season is never easy, particularly when the team play a different style to their former club (note to Liverpool: Chelsea play a rare breed of Premier League winning football). With no training camps and pre-season friendlies to get used to his teammates style of play, Torres was thrown in at the deep end in high stakes matches. No wonder hes looked lost and frustrated at times.
Chelsea fans have a long tradition of supporting their strikers through lean and fallow periods. Over the years weve had some world-class strikers fail to live up to their reputation, but surely Chelseas failure to adjust to its new strikers is as much to blame as any strikers failure to score? By way of example, Shevchenko scored 54 goals in his two seasons before coming to Chelsea and only 22 in his next two at the Bridge. Now back at Dynamo Kiev, Sheva is again clocking one goal every two games.
As a Chelsea fans website, all we hope is that attention this summer focuses on how to get the best from Fernando. Whilst we wouldnt go so far as to say build the team around him, its clear that we need to play to his strengths rather than vainly hope that he adjusts to our teams play in the same manner that we did with Sheva, Sutton and Fleck. More than anything else, we hope that this summer sees us sign a creative midfielder who is able to get the most out of our attack whilst also bringing some much-needed flair to the centre of the park.
