Although Torres went to Chelsea, Qin Xiong and Torres are still friends, and he will also pay attention to Torres' situation. After all, Chelsea is also an opponent that Liverpool needs to pay attention to, whether in the Premier League or the Champions League.

But Torres' recent situation seems to have reached a bad peak after the 3:3 draw with Manchester United.

"I had some good games against Manchester United in the past, I scored against Manchester United and hopefully this time we can beat them and get the three points..."

This is Torres's statement on the Chelsea TV talk show before the game. At the same time, the media is timing his "goal drought". After this game against Manchester United, the number is still rising, 1107 minutes, this is "T9 The cumulative time of consecutive non-goals has spanned 18 games so far.

In the Battle of Stamford Bridge, the two sides contributed 6 goals to the fans. Unfortunately, there is still no "Fernando Torres" in the goal list.

In Di Matteo's view, Torres could have been a turnaround for a time, but he couldn't.

"Manchester United were attacking with no scruples trying to equalize and if we had had more possession we could have found an opportunity to score one more."

Di Matteo said: "Torres once faced the goal one-on-one. If he kicked it, it might become 4-2. The situation may be reversed."

The ball mentioned by Di Matteo appeared in the 77th minute. Ivanovic headed the ball and Torres got a one-handed chance. His first adjustment was slow. The opponent, unfortunately, did not choose to shoot afterwards, but continued to smash the ball past Evans, and Rafal, who was finally replaced, destroyed the opportunity.

Judging from the speed of starting after receiving the ball, the speed of adjustment, and the hesitation in the face of the goal, the quick gun that blasted Vidic at Old Trafford back then seems to be a little rusty now.

Torres did score the last time he played against Manchester United, but what is more impressive is that he faced an empty goal at Old Trafford and then sighed.

"Bad luck" entangled Torres like a ghost, and he got a red card immediately after scoring a goal against Swansea. Since then, T9 has missed the league goal so far.

In Chelsea, there is an unexplainable strange phenomenon. Anyone can score, but Torres can't!

Brazilian central defender David Luiz chanted a spell for T9 to "cast spells" before the game. This superstition began in the Swansea match and has been used to this day. However, Luiz himself scored goals in this game, and Torres still missed it!

Mata was bought in the summer, and public opinion believed that it was to provide shells for Torres. In this game, T9 assisted Mata to score the world wave. The "supply and demand sides" were reversed, and the center forward still did not win.

According to the statistics since Torres joined Chelsea, there are as many as seven players in the Blues ahead of him in the ranking of "minutes per goal". , which is really embarrassing data.

On Torres' question, Di Matteo mentioned the most word is "confidence", but it seems he does not know how to restore the Spaniard.

"One goal can lead to a chain of goals, but we have to wait because Torres needs continuity."

DiMatteo said: "We talked, he is also looking for the feeling, mentally he is ready, knows what he should do, in the game and in training, we try to improve his running position, this is our goal. The only thing that can be done.”

It's already February, Torres' chances are running out, and the shadow of World of Warcraft is getting closer.

Even if Côte d’Ivoire reaches the African Cup final on February 2, Drogba should have returned to the team when they play Naples in the first leg of the Champions League on February 12. With Torres’ recent performance, it is difficult to keep the position of the main center forward, and he is bound to give way To Warcraft Drogba, before that, T2 still has a chance to play against Everton. Whether he can redeem himself before the end of the "failed winter", Goodison Park will give people the final answer.

Qin Xiong really wants to communicate with the club to discuss whether he can welcome Torres back in the summer, because he has learned in advance that the club will not choose to renew the contract with Raul, the commercial return he should get from Raul, the return of club influence, the competition The rewards of the game have been obtained, and there is no need for Liverpool to spend money and have expectations on a 35-year-old veteran. After all, the 35-year-old player symbolizes absolutely nothing to do with the future.

So if the Liverpool striker can welcome Torres back, it will be a good supplement to the striker.

But Qin Xiong thought about it, and finally suppressed this idea.

He shouldn't get too involved in the club's operations, at least now Torres is not as important to the team as Alonso was two and a half years ago.

Before the arrival of the 25th round of the Premier League, the team has a one-week break.

Liverpool will be a guest at Old Trafford in the round of 25 to challenge the Red Devils Manchester United.

Until then, the competition in the standings remains brutal.

Liverpool 55 points.

Manchester City 54 points.

Manchester United 54 points.

Tottenham 50 points.

Chelsea 43 points.

Newcastle United 41 points.

Arsenal 40 points.

......

The English derby between Manchester United and Liverpool will be played in the last round of the 25th round.

Prior to this, the games of other teams started one after another.

Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2:1 at the Stadium of Light without any risk. Henry made a stoppage time lore in the farewell game when his short-term loan contract was about to expire!

The short-lived return of the king of guns has set off a wave of nostalgia among gun fans.

It was also difficult for Manchester City to win at Villa Park. In the end, with the goal of iron guard Lescott, they beat Aston Villa 1-0 and took all three points.

At Goodison Park, Chelsea suffered a strong attack from Everton.

The weak offensive Chelsea was scored by Everton in the first and second halves, and was defeated by Toffee 0:2.

After Chelsea lost, the BBC's Premier League program that night declared that the current Chelsea is the worst Chelsea in the Abramovich era!

Since the Russians took over the Blues, the total investment has been close to 10 billion pounds. In the past 8 full seasons, Chelsea's ranking has never fallen out of the top three.

Whether in the hearts of the boss or the head coach, the lowest goal is to reach the Champions League, whether it is through or into the qualifying rounds.

But judging from this season, the possibility of Chelsea getting the top three and directly entering the Champions League has basically disappeared.

After the match between Everton and Chelsea, Tottenham beat Newcastle United 5-0 at home.

In this way, Tottenham's points have reached 53 points, which is a double-digit distance from Chelsea.

After Arsenal reversed Sunderland in stoppage time this round, they overwhelmed Chelsea by virtue of their goal difference and became fifth in the league.

In the remaining 13 games, Chelsea and Arsenal will have to face the remaining 7 teams in the top 5 except Manchester United, but in Arsenal's 5 tough games, only one against Liverpool is a guest They are all home games, while Chelsea only have two home games, so it is naturally more difficult.

The only good news today is that Tottenham are enough to save face and win Chelsea's rival Newcastle, otherwise, Chelsea may fall to seventh place in the league.

If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for Chelsea to qualify for the Champions League.

The Champions League competition is an appetizer, and the real feast of this round will be the England derby staged at Old Trafford in the Theater of Dreams! (to be continued~^~)
