The College Dropout Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Random - did anything in particular happen to Fernando Torres that explains his dramatic drop in form? Looking at is injury record, it's not that bad at all. Sergio Aguero's record is already much worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Their little kids are absolutely class, seen them many times at CP park. Their ability on the ball at the age of about 7 is stupid I find the standard amazing too. My lad was 'scouted' for Man City development academy when only 5 (unbelieveable isn't it), and playing in an under 7 league. He's still an exceptional young player, but no longer at City; watching him occasionally train with their Elite squad under 6's and 7's was like watching him play against a bunch of serious twenty-somethings. The technical skill and tactical nous was astonishing...that said not much joy/fun in evidence; it all seems a bit serious and driven. Didn't like the vibe at all with such young lads.

Yeah it was a bit serious. They just look like tiny little professional footballers, it's a bit weird. They do the same little body movements, drag backs, little skills etc. Even have the same haircuts and the multi-coloured boots. Having never participated in a proper training session in my life, I find it all amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Random - did anything in particular happen to Fernando Torres that explains his dramatic drop in form? Looking at is injury record, it's not that bad at all. Sergio Aguero's record is already much worse. He was absolutely knackered after the wc 2010, which lead to a drop of form and confidence. Got going a bit just before he was sold to Chelsea, where he had a bad start and coupled with injuries and losing a yard of pace he never got his confidence back. All just from my memory, so might very well be wrong, but that's how I remember it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 He'd been out of form for around 18 months before Chelsea spent £50m on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
