Torres doesn't score anymore because he can't score anymore. It's more complicated than it seems. The statistics say: Fernando Torres hasn't score in 871 minutes played for Chelsea(Almost 900 if we consider that Birmingham game). That's the problem!. No, not the hundreds of minutes without goal for Nando, but in the stupidity of judging by the statistics. Our daily numbers diet! So many advantages for the buyers of the new detergent, so many deaths in Africa, so many grades in Japan. What gets dry behind the numbers doesn't even matter, because it doesn't make a news. Torres doesn't score anymore because he can't. And he can't score anymore because he is blocked, he is not confident, he doubts himself. You can see all of these on his face and in his moves. He looks afraid like a student before the big exam. Torres doesn't miss, but he's in another world where everything is impossible and he can't do anything. And that just makes him very human. A depression is not easier just because his owner is the one that Chelsea's paid £50 million for. A depression is just deep and period. Nobody found out the reason why human beings are sometimes just taken over by the lack of confidence and inspiration. Nobody knows why and how this feeling makes the writers unable to write anymore, or the politicians to think practically anymore. The only thing we know about it, is that everybody gets hit at least once and it is, of course, unexpected. It's just democratic. But a young football player's fall is the saddest. Torres looks like a big injustice and incomprehensible, left by trust and "spark". Will this ever end? Maybe yes, maybe not. Some just woke up in the morning "cured", feeling great again. But some others, woke up it the morning just like yesterday again and again and they forgot being somebody. That just happens to anybody and we must understand that the football players are human too and they desperve respect. Nothing to do with the FIFA slogan. ________ This is a great article I found. It's written by Traian Radu Ungureanu, a great Romanian journalist who is a big fan of the EPL. I translated it so I'm not sure it's grammatically correct, but I hope you'll understand the main idea, which I tottaly agree with. Torres is just in a poor period, but it might dissapear soon. He needs time and understanding!
