torres' comment- fair or unfair?

CHELSEA REQUEST THE
ORIGINAL
TRANSCRIPT OF
TORRES’ PRIMERA
INTERVIEW
Posted on Thursday,
15th September 2011
by Adexyz.
Chelsea have requested
the original transcript of
an interview held between
Fernando Torres and the
Spanish Primera website
last week, after the centre-
forward was alledly
‘misquoted’ in claiming
that the “older” players at
the club were “very
slow”, and that such a
pace had had an impact
on the Spaniards fortunes
in front of goal thus far.
Torres’ comments came
in relation to the change in
pace he was said to have
noticed since the arrival of
Andre Villas-Boas, and the
signing of Juan Mata
among others were
reported to have given
him encouragement to
think that the ‘slow’ style
to Chelsea’s game may be
coming to an end.
Torres has insisted he has
been ‘misquoted’ by the
Spanish website, and AVB
remains somewhat
confident that this is the
case. However, it seems
fair to say that, last season
especially, Chelsea did not
play with electrifying pace,
and with the likes of
Anelka, Drogba, Lampard,
and so on all in their
thirties now, it is
somewhat expected that
the pace to their game will
gradually ‘slow’ down.
Whether Torres’
comments were meant to
be critical or not remains
to be established, but it
seems unlikely that a
player desperate to earn a
place in Chelsea’s starting
XI would so openly speak
out against his club. Then
again, we have seen this
before with other players
and clubs, and perhaps
only the original transcript
will clarify things fully.
This evening Chelsea
opened their Champions
League campaign at home
to Bayer Leverkusen, and
the extent of Torres’
involvement remains to
be determined by Villas-
Boas.

The Spaniard started on
the bench against
Sunderland on the
weekend, and the recent
on goings in the media
may have only damaged
his chances of regaining a
place in the starting line up
even further. In order to
find goals with Chelsea,
Torres will need minutes
on the field, and he will be
desperate to clear his
name over the allegations
and ‘misquotations’ made
last week.
Chelsea are set to quiz the
forward over the
comments made to the
Spanish website, and if
assurances can be made
that a mistranslation has
occurred then his chances
of starting tonight may be
given a boost; for the time
being however, El Nino
has some convincing to
do.

L FUTURE’
Chelsea are expected
to complete a deal for
Racing Genk youngster
Kevin De Bruyne as
early as January and
may even keep the 20
year old midfielder
onboard without
loaning him back.
It was believed that the
youngster would be a
Chelsea player over the
summer however there
were certain and
numerous complications
meaning de Bruyne
would have to wait for his
chance to become a
Premiership player. An
initial bid from the
Stamford Bridge club –
believed to be around
£5m-£6m was rejected
by the Belgian club,
somewhat angering de
Bruyne in the process
however Genk are now
willing to accept the player
wishes to move on and
shall the move to go
through as soon as the
window re-opens.
Although there seems
very little chance that de
Bruyne would want to
return to Genk on loan,
Chelsea may look to loan
him elsewhere in the
Premiership for some
much needed experience
at that level before
reassessing his position
next summer.
Although it is reported
that a £6m bid had
already been rejected, it is
believed that Genk will not
be looking for a drastically
increased offer for the 20
year old.
