PART 1 - Words and Thoughts of a Competitive Footballer
On this defeat of Chelsea on home soil, all the answers was clear on the field itself; thus any further comments or statements, especially when it concerns Chelsea would be needless. Defeat in whichever way, it can only be attributed to themselves (Chelsea as a whole), and nothing else. Not lack of quality or anything close to or similar to that.
As for Fernando Torres, as far back as his initial months with Chelsea,there was this conclusion (in terms of views from here) that he will be walking down the same path as Andrei Shevchenko. It wasn't and is not a case of Torres or Chelsea being the problem then, now and in future. In short, the 2 players mentioned belongs to an unsaid category of footballers; This category in my perspective is more of a mutual mis-fit (Club and Player), where blending becomes a problem, both parties will not only not benefit, but with the possibility of loss and negatives that could prove detrimental, especially to a footballer.
Unique (As i would term it) and talented footballers of top class pedigree has this difficulty of complementing each other on the pitch (Not all but as said, these 'unique' which carries with it a few vital factors). Torres if given the full weight of responsibility to shoulder in the club and/or is playing in a club where his presence carries a certain importance and influence, would excel and be / play like how he is and can be as a footballer.
It isn't title, EGO, star-attitude, etc... Players of this nature excel when they are given the full weight of responsibility and pressure. Part of their footballing nature is left stagnant when placed in an environment not meant for them, in terms of football and their own game-play and personality as a footballer/
No definites in this area. Examples are almost evident everywhere; England is in such a state where this country would be the least expected of to be on the margins of International Football. Stevie G And Frank Lampard isn't a good pairing in CM, but both are fantastic players , without doubt; Rio Ferdinand And John Terry, the actual anchors of England's defensive wall, only recently things became severe that the world got to know; but in their own ranks internally, no one can tell what has been happening behind in dressing room and on training grounds...ever since the days of Gazza, Lineker, Barnes, Butcher, Walker and so on....the difference is obvious without needing to analyse.
Influx of foreign players ain't the reason as most would place much of the blame on that, and restricting local youth players to grow and the opportunity to play top-tier football. In what I see, that plays a part but only a secondary role....
Soccer, by the minute is becoming almost 100% commercialized in all aspcultects, and this spells trouble; particularly for countries who have the financial strength to support the trend; and by nature, players go with the flow of things; which in this case--footballing culture and each individual's way of looking and defining how the game is and should be.
This isn't just limited to 1 country or rare few, but a problem almost present everywhere; with the level of severity being the only difference. A decade and back, every footballer played due to passion, and solely that; the love for the game, nothing else mattered; while that was when majority of historical legends were created and etched in the history of football...What more can be said.....
Parting Shot of Part 1:
"As the playing and 'hands-on' tier commercializes; The system board right at the top that goes no where near the 'products and its dependencies goes with the trend in their own way by translating to keep up with trends. Automated Items and Procedures have been introduced into the human's zone; small gadgets and distant for a start. just as how the usage of public phones transformed into the current Super Intelligent Calling Gadgets...So, probably, just one day, it'll be programming robots to play on the field; and by personal response in line with the goal-line technology; in that way, one can certainly program and control every match to be without errors, and thus nothing to lament or complain about...One can have the "perfect" matches as per-person defined. How does that sound?"
