What’s Liverpool’s Torres Sulking About?

Posted on June 13th, 2008 by Chelsea D

Spain looked really up for it in their game against Russia and whether they’ll be able to keep that up or burn themselves out remains to be seen. Spanish coach Luis Aragones was certainly a happy man afterwards, crowing “The atmosphere in the squad is extraordinary and we’ve instilled into them from the first moment that those who don’t play are as important as those who do.” Nice idea mate, but it looks as if at least one of Spain’s players missed the point.

After being subbed during the 4-1 win, to add ‘one more player in the midfield and try to keep a clean sheet’ according to Aragones, Fernando Torres clearly didn’t feel particularly important. Coming off the field in a blatant sulk, Torres noticeably ignored the boss’ outstretched arm, refusing to shake hands.

But whilst he might well have been instrumental in Spain’s opening goal, laying off a pass for Villa to make a start on his hat-trick, the Spanish coach has made it clear the Liverpool man’s petulant behaviour won’t be tolerated. Whilst the rest of us had a good laugh at his childish antics, Aragones warned “You can’t let these things happen. I understand the player gets angry and I am with Torres, but putting it right afterwards is important. A player must first be angry with himself.”

Angry about what though? Being subbed or not being Spain’s main man?

  2. What the hell?, on June 13th, 2008 at 12:28 Said:

    Both Aragones and Torres have denied there was any rift between them. Your just bad mouthing a player for the hell of it. Which makes you no better than an employee of the Daily Mirror. Come on…

    That’ll be the scouse arrogance shining through.

    He’s narky that Liverpool won’t let him move to Chelsea and have a chance of winning the League.

    Sulking!!! I don’t think so, more disapointed about coming off ,which surely is how every decent footballer would react.

    If you have watched Torres this season you will know that he is a team player.

    Scouse arrogance!!!!! is that right, from a supporter of a team who actually believe they can go out and sign any player they want to, more importantly they believe that any player would be foolish not to sign for them. Now that’s what you call arrogance.

    Think because he wants a European Cup

    He’s proabably upset that as the best striker in Europe he’s not getting a fair crack of the whip, also he’s slightly annoyed that Chelsea fail to understand the phrase “Torres is not for sale”, maybe Roman need a few more English lessons!

    Ah, I see even with your huge spending you’ll still unsure of winning the league. Perhaps thats because despite assembling a squad costing approximately twice of Liverpool’s you ended up with the same amount of trophies this year – ZERO.
    Where were you when you were shit?
    ( Supporting Arsenal probably )
    I expect you’ll slink back under your stone if Roman gets bored and Chelsea plummet without his cash….

    what exactly did you win this season, aaah though so. now go wave your plastic flags. plastic club, plastic fans.

    Xile – “Torres is not for sale”, maybe Roman need a few more English lessons!….lol

    Maybe you should take a few yourself.

    Here we go…..where were you when you were shit…blah blah blah, personally I was supporting Chelsea in the lower tiers while you were probably steeling car radios.

    andrew moffet – Did you win anything yourselves?…..didnt think so, now you go wave your biro in the local dole office.

    spell my name right you no mark, we might have won nothing this season, but clubs around the world respect us, something you will never know, now run off and beg roman for another flag. how long till you boo phil like you did avram, i give it 10 games. for your info, there is more crime in london than Liverpool so what have you got to say now. how many city of cultures, aah just like your European cups, zero

    Stannie Smith – is that really the best argument you’ve got, that I’m female? And you’re prepared to show yourself up by posting it? Lol.
    History – the name’s as original as the comment tbh, I was probably going to watch Chelsea before you were born judging by that response.
