Fernando Torres
Liverpool F.C. is filled with great players. Steven Gerrard, Dirk Kuyt, Yossi Benayoun, and a lot of highly-skilled players are fueling this team with passion and spirit they need to run their competitors over. In 2008, however, a distinct name put a dent in the history of Liverpool F.C. by scoring his 50th goal for Liverpool only after 84 matches. He reached that achievement even faster than Liverpool’s favorite Robbie Fowler, and he was only in his second season with Liverpool at that time. That guy is Fernando Torres.
Scoring his 50th goal for Liverpool after only 84 matches was not the only thing he do. His debut in 2007 is still the best ever debut season from foreign player. He continues to amaze people with his talent until today. There are occasions where Torres gives his 110%, performs exquisitely well, and bring home another victory for Liverpool. His playing style, although rather unusual, is creating chances for other players including Gerrard and Kuyt to penetrate enemy’s defense line and goalkeeper a run for their money. Torres is very talented and he knows exactly how to make good use of his talents.
This season, however, started a bit slow for him. He is dealing with anger management issues and often gets himself in arguments with referees or other players. He responded to all the glaring eyes of press by scoring a hat-trick against Hull City “Tigers”. It is way too early to say that he is the best Liverpool F.C. striker, although media seems to be so eager about bringing the topic up, but he is now only 25 years old. He has a lot of thing ahead of him and if he keeps his game together it is surely not impossible for him to actually be the best Liverpool F.C. striker; an achievement anyone would bow down to knowing that Liverpool have a long line of great strikers.
