in case u havent know it, the biggest story in football today is the transfer of Fernando Torres from Liverpool to Chelsea for 50 mil pounds. While it is not met with much enthusiasm by Liverpool fans, his decision is completely understandable...from a football perspective that is..i mean, a move to a football club that is constantly challenging for the EPL and the UCL, also with a bigger remuneration package. He won everything at international football and now it's time for club honors.
It's a similar case when he left Atleti. Goin to a bigger club, gunning for trophies. Then, Rafa left, n i guess he doesn't see that the club is goin forward anymore, with the boardroom turmoil and all. Best of luck at Chelsea then n probably he'll have to wait till next year cuz Arsenal is gonna win the League and FA cup, Man U is gonna win the league and Barcelona is gonna win the UCL. I really think he should go to Barca though, if he really wanna move. Sadly, Barca already had Villa, and goin to Real would be the greatest sin he'll ever commit in his life.
Now, I'm an Arsenal but i really have a great affection for Torres. Not only he's a superb footballer with his darting runs, silky moves, and precise finishing, but also as a person. He's not the Cristiano type who cannot live with out a camera focusing at him. He's just, like,... one of us, i could say. This had led be to buy his book, and I never buy a footballer autobiography before. just read from kududan or wiki. So, his story is really intriguing and really been an inspiration to me on how to adapt. and the theme of the book is constantly, loyalty, loyalty, loyalty..to Atleti, to Liverpool.. that what makes me respect him so much...he talks about his desire to be a one-man team like Raul, Maldini, Totti..and how's Liverpool fans is the greatest in the world (this point is sumtin I agree with, its really like a graveyard at the Emirates).
well, guess what mate? you just betrayed the greates fans in the world. can u imagine pledging your loyalty to sumbody for years and then, left them, when they not achiving..that's hypocrisy! not loyalty. you know why people like Raul and Totti gain so much respect in the footballing world? They stick with their team through thick and thin. Raul's been there when the club at it's greastest and lowest and so did Totti. u think how many times Totti contemplated with the idea of goin to Milan or Juve to win the UCL? but hell no, he has his dignity and pride. His skin would burn if he was ever to wear another team shirt. What happen to worms who betrayed their club to seek glory? i can give u 3 different example:
1) Michael Owen. go to biggest club in the world and had been on a downward spiral ever since. read his auto also ahaha.
2) Monkey Cole. yeah, he wins trophies and stuff but as a human, he lost his value. Nobody likes him at all and he's gonna die a sad man cuz he also betrayed his wife afterwards.
3) Luis Figo. Despised by both sets of barca, madrid tried to embrace him, but they love zinade more.
u see, medals do matter, but the value of the medal is more important..Djimi Traore had a UCL medal but do people remember him? heck, no! u gonna look at ur medal when ur old and say, this is how i won this and this. so, if u won it in an honorable way, ull be proud to tell ur story every single time. if not, u r goin 2 b so ashamed of ur self dat the medal is goin to the attic or e-bay.
for now, i'm soo done with autobiographies..i'm gonna read them when they retire..n see what bipolar-alcoholic-cirrhotic developed Monkey Cole would write then.
