A ticking time bomb Both Chelsea's recognized strikers have a history of serious knee injuries. Demba Bas knee is often described as a "ticking gmai time bomb", but there is an even bigger bomb that lurks around the corner ... Or should I say was?
For bombings Fernando Torres' knee has long since exploded and took the Spaniard's pace and shape of the explosion. Knee injuries have always been associated with career-murder, but Torres' injuries have been devastating.
The football world has been surprised by the sharp decline in Fernando Torres' performance, but they should not really have been. All the signs were there. The disaster was just waiting to happen!
World class player after being a supporting player - and states - from baby club Atletico Madrid, gmai Fernando Torres volunteered himself as a world class player with 33 goals in 46 appearances in his first season at Liverpool. Since then his career has been in decline as a series of unfortunate knee injuries and sprains.
Despite gmai this he managed to carry a huge trade financed by seemingly bottomless gmai pockets of his new Russian Uncle Roman. Most of us were - understandably - anxious to see one of the world's gmai most recognized strikers in one of Europe's biggest clubs. We unfortunately all know how it went ...
Torres' Liverpool goal if you can stand it, then watch the first few minutes of this video. It is a video of all 81 of his Liverpool goal. The first few minutes are crucial to understand why Torres' career as a world class player gmai living on borrowed time. It is clear that all the scenes in the video leads to goal, but the interesting thing is how the goals were scored - that Torres' attack method. The first involved his game more shot and header then. That this has gone out of his game, is absolutely essential, but it is not the main reason for his utur is permanent.
Look at what he does with the ball with his feet in the video. Compare this with what he does in Chelsea. The most obvious difference is that he was significantly faster five years ago. The problem with losing speed is not necessarily a problem if you can figure out how to adapt his game and move like a safe play.
Demba Ba scored a perfectly executed box play goal against Southampton, which Graham's gmai analysis brilliantly emphasizes. Torres is not near this, not even when he was in his life best form and was voted the World 3 best footballer. His main characteristic was to poke the ball past the defender and then use its rapid acceleration to go past the defender. Fernando was dangerous because he could exploit any tiny opening with his pace, not because he was particularly adept at placing in the top positions and move best in the box.
Middle-period in Torres' career As we know disappeared his pace and acceleration, not suddenly. In the video, you may notice a trend in negative degree, which he clearly is decimating the amount of speed-dependent targets. He also begins to get more and more quiet. The tension between dynamic and static is an important part of Torres' mid-term, which today is almost completely static. In the middle period is exactly where he suffers his first major knæprobl
