'Fernando Torres had chances and it was a shame that he didn't score, but he played very well in the game, he played well, he ran and responded positively and contributed positively to the victory!

This is what Spanish boss Pep Guardiola said about Fernando Torres after Spain's 4-0 thrashing of Moldova, and for a striker, not scoring is always perfect, but some of Torres' contributions in this game are impressive.

Torres had two shots on goal that were cleared by the goalkeeper, but Spain's new manager Pep Guardiola praised him for his "fulcrum" role.

This season, in Chelsea, Di Matteo also gave Torres such a high evaluation, the word fulcrum seemed to belong to Drogba in the past, Warcraft is used to carrying an attack line in the front court, and in this game with Moldova, Torres was surprisingly "Warcrafted".

Three of Spain's four goals were "stirred" by Torres, the opening goal, Torres actively scrambled in the front, after breaking the ball from the feet of the defender, he directly launched a lethal fast attack, Xavi's free kick to seal the win, and it was also won by Torres when he was carrying the ball in front of the penalty area. Silva's goal came from Torres' back-to-back possession in the box, and he attracted a number of strikes for David. Silva's onslaught created a void.

In several goals, Torres turned into a monster, using pressing, squeezing, carrying people, etc., to fight for his teammates to create opportunities, isn't this exactly Drogba's specialty in the past?

Watching Torres fight with the physicality that he is not good at, fighting hard again and again and creating chances, it is no wonder that Guardiola said after the game: "Torres has performed very well for the team and has always threatened the opponent. ”

The data shows that Torres did play a "fulcrum center" style in this game, he ran tens of thousands of meters throughout the game, ranking fourth in the team, which is not easy as a center forward.

In addition, Torres was fouled four times and won free kicks, which is also the most in the team, it can be said that Torres has been running, scrambling, and hand-to-hand combat.

Torres is indeed full of desire for this game, in the first round of the group stage of the world preliminaries, Spain was finally forced to draw by Ireland at home with one goal first, and lost a good game.

'If the first result is good, then this draw is okay, but now we have to win.' Torres said: "The experience of playing Ireland has taught us that these kinds of games are always tough, but we need to win and four points are better than one or two. ”

As Torres said, although Moldova is a weak team, but in the field of play is very fierce, did once brought great trouble to the Spanish bullfighters, this little-known fish belly troops, very pursuit of foot cooperation style of play, take the route of ground and technology, to a certain extent, this may provide the possibility for Torres's "monster play", after all, in the Premier League, encountering much stronger, much more ferocious defenders, Torres by the body to wreak havoc on the opponent is almost zero.

So far this season, Torres has shown a lot of different aspects at the club, from the agility of a goalscorer to the domineering spirit of a fulcrum centre-forward.

Of course, the biggest issue for Torres remains consistency, but as the Chelsea squad progresses from strength to strength, Torres is finding confidence.

'I had a very difficult start at home and at club level, but now that's a thing of the past and with some good team-mates, I'm enjoying it at this stage and we're building a great team.'

Torres is now being interviewed, and the smile on his face has gradually increased, and he is in a better mood, more confident, and his performance has improved, and he is entering a gratifying virtuous circle.

Immediately after the upcoming league with Tottenham, some people questioned how physical Torres was in such an intensive game, taking care of both the national team and the club, to which the Spaniard's response was: "I took enough turns last season and no longer need to rest!" ”

Torres has played well and has given Di Matteo more options, and since the departure of Didier Drogba, he has been looking for a striker who can act as a fulcrum up front.

Before, Torres gave him the feeling that he was too soft, so that he had the nickname of "Torresh", but after the start of this season, whether in club or national team, Torres suddenly became hard, no longer afraid of physical contact with opponents, and even some media said that Torres is now a Spanish monster with a handsome face.

In this game, facing Tottenham, which has been in full swing recently, Di Matteo's first thought is revenge, not against Tottenham, but against Degan.

In last season's Champions League final, Di Matteo had a chance to win the gods, but unfortunately, with a lead of most of the half, Deegan came off the bench and scored two goals in a row, so that Chelsea lost a good chance to reach the top of Europe for the first time.

Now that time has passed, Di Matteo has encountered Tottenham led by Degan in the Premier League, and the careful thinking of revenge is also burning in Di Matteo's heart.

The source of Di Matteo's confidence is that Torres, who is getting better and better, and although his goalscoring efficiency is still not high, the role Torres plays in the Chelsea team is absolutely irreplaceable.

With Fernando Torres as the fulcrum up front, and attacking midfield players such as Frank Lampard, Mikel Mikel and Eden Hazard, they can break forward more calmly and look for good opportunities to find the back of the net.

'In my opinion, Torres is clearly a better fit for Chelsea than Degan, he doesn't score many goals, but in terms of tactics, Torres is immeasurable, he runs more aggressively and more unselfishly, he can take on any task and he can do it very well!'

Obviously, in the current tactics of Di Matteo, Torres has become the top card in his hand, and in this game, Torres is also a magic weapon for Di Matteo to tear through the Tottenham defense.

In response to Di Matteo's statement that Torres is better than him, Digan also responded-for-tat: "That sissy Spaniard, I think Vermaelen and Gallas will treat him well, I hope it won't scare him into peeing his pants, as for the game, I can only say that when the ninety minutes are over, you will know how much difference a man has from a sissy!" ”

Sissy!

This word is used in Torres, and I believe it will be recognized by many people.

Torres's style of play has always felt soft, and his previous performance in Atletico Madrid is not worth referring to, La Liga is the territory of his mother, so real men like Kaka and Degan will never be recognized.

In Liverpool, due to Benitez's favor, almost the entire team is helping Torres to score goals, in Chelsea, there is Drogba on the front line to escort him and attract firepower, Torres is also as good as expected, but once Drogba is not on the field, it is difficult for Torres to score goals.

Deegan does not deny Torres' ability, but in the fierce Premier League, it is not easy for Torres, a skilled striker, to grab a bowl of rice.

Although this season, Torres has tried to change, and improve his physical fitness, trying to fight opponents in close combat, but in this way, he has also lost the technical advantage that he is proud of, and he has abandoned his strengths and weaknesses, and Degan really can't understand what Di Matteo has to be proud of.

As expected, Torres, who was directly denounced by Degan as a "pseudo-mother", instantly burst his lungs after hearing Degan's words: "That vulgar person only deserves to fight in that kind of country team, I will let him know what a real man is on the court." ”

Torres was angry, this is in the hands of Degan, he is to provoke Torres, let him wait until the game, give up his specialty, so that Torres himself is not a threat to Tottenham, as for Chelsea's midfield attack group, Degan believes that when the time comes, Huddlestone, Modric and others will be entertained.

On the day of the game, the whole Tottenham team went to Stamford Bridge, in fact, the home stadium of the two teams is very close, just two streets apart, but the geographical division of the fans of the two teams is clear.

As soon as they entered Chelsea territory, Tottenham buses were immediately greeted by Blues fans waving Chelsea flags, making insulting gestures and overdrawing their belongings on the Tottenham buses.

"Hey! The people here are so welcoming! Héctor laughs, seeing an egg smash right on the glass in front of him, causing the fashionista to scream, "That's cool!" Boss! Shouldn't we also call on the fans to treat those blue-skinned monsters to the White Hart Lane game as well? ”

At this moment, the expressions of the Tottenham players in the car are different, some are indifferent, and some are nervous, after all, although Stamford Bridge and White Hart Lane are only two streets apart, this can be regarded as going deep into each other's territory.

Deegan just closed his eyes, the anger of the Chelsea fans was caused by him, but now he is an outsider, after all, after so many years, Deegan has seen more battles, this little scene, still can't scare him.

His mind is now full of how to deal with the backline led by Ferreira, Branislav Ivanovic and Cahill during the game.

Of course, Deegan can taunt Torres to his heart's content, but Chelsea's strength is really not weak!
