Since joining Liverpool in the Premier League, Torres has reached the peak of his career. Not only has his scoring efficiency skyrocketed, but his performance and role on the court have also continued to soar, allowing him to become a world-class center.
But in just three years, Torres suffered injuries in two years, both of which were groin strains.
The so-called groin strain is actually a strain on the inner thigh muscles, at the junction of the abdomen and legs, the two grooves on the left and right sides of the genitals.
The groin is also a very troublesome area and is also the hardest hit area for player injuries.
If it is a mild strain, rest a little and recuperate for a while, which can be as short as a week or as long as two or three weeks, and it will basically be fine.
But if it is a serious strain, the problem will be big. It may be accompanied by other symptoms, but the most terrifying thing is the impact on the player's competitive level, such as speed and explosive power.
What's even more terrible is that in the second half of last season, Torres also injured his knee and had to undergo two surgeries and was out of action for four months.
After that, he was anxious to come back and participated in the World Cup in South Africa. As a result, Torres was injured again in the World Cup final. This time it was a torn ligament. He spent the entire summer recovering from his injury and almost missed the start of the Premier League.
Two groin strains, two knee surgeries, and one ligament tear. All three injuries were very serious. Fans may not be able to tell much from the game videos and videos, but as a professional, Nuno Cruz is still very serious.
It's easy to see the impact on him.
Explosive power has declined!
…
"Remember Shevchenko?" Su Dong asked.
Everyone nodded, this was the superstar Chelsea spent heavily on bringing in back then, and they even gave up bringing in Su Dong because of him.
But it later turned out that Shevchenko was the most cheating transfer in Chelsea's history, especially considering that giving up Sudong for him was simply the worst move in the history of world football.
"Shevchenko lost his speed and explosiveness due to injuries, so his performance declined rapidly after joining Chelsea."
Soviet Union and Dong were still very sympathetic to what happened to Ukraine's nuclear warheads back then.
"Although his statistics were still very good in his last season at AC Milan, if you look at his games, you will find that his one-on-one performance has actually declined significantly. After joining Chelsea, there is no way he can play an all-around center again.
To ask him to only have the ability to score goals and awareness, this is not in line with Mourinho's tactical requirements."
After a pause, Su Dong continued.
"Torres's situation is actually similar to Shevchenko's. He played for about 20 minutes against Arsenal, but judging from his several performances, his speed may not be obvious, but his explosive power is obvious.
It’s gone down.”
"Really?" Pepe couldn't believe it.
"Nuno Cruz said it." Su Dong said firmly.
Everyone immediately believed a lot.
Nuno Cruz has devoted himself to sports performance analysis over the years and has rich experience in improving players' sports performance. He also led to the rise of this position. Nowadays, this position has been established at the University of Lisbon and Loughborough University.
courses in the field, and Nuno Cruz is a professor at both universities.
If he hadn't had an irreversible friendship with Su Dong and couldn't let go of him, he would have become his teacher by now.
Nuno Cruz said that Torres had declined, and everyone basically believed it.
"Why doesn't it feel obvious?" Pepe was puzzled.
He carefully studied the video of Torres's game, the more than 20 minutes of the first round, and the World Cup game after Torres returned from injury, and he really didn't notice any problems.
"That's because he is only twenty-six years old." Su Dong said.
Twenty-six-year-old professional players are generally at the peak of their physical condition, and players at this age are very capable.
So Torres had just had knee surgery and immediately participated in the World Cup. As a result, he was injured again in the World Cup final, this time with a torn ligament. As a result, he recovered from the injury and returned before the new season.
"Failure to have a good rest is Torres' biggest problem now."
Nuno Cruz even felt that these three waves of injuries were interrelated, and the reason was that he did not get a good rest after the injury, and the previous injury did not fully recover, which led to the outbreak of the next injury. .
"Although it may not seem obvious, there is actually a gap in performance, especially for a player like Torres who is known for his speed and explosive power. Even a slight decline may lead to a huge decline in his overall performance. discount."
This is also the most inexplicable part of the football game.
What Torres is best at is speed and explosive power, that kind of small-scale changes in speed and direction and forced overtaking. Assume that his original speed and explosive power were both 100. Now his speed has dropped slightly, but not significantly, to 90, and his explosive power has reached 90. eighty.
Then the problem comes, when it comes to the competition, he will find that many of the moves he was familiar with before can also be done now, but the effect is just a little bit worse.
Sometimes it is clear that you can get through it, but it is just so little that you can't get through it.
This is a very damaging situation for players' confidence.
Torres is known as Spain's golden boy. He has had high hopes since childhood, so he tried his best to catch up with the World Cup, but the result was obviously not what he expected.
Of course, he got his wish and won the World Cup, but the price he paid was also heavy.
As for whether it is worth it or not, that depends on his own judgment.
…
One of the important reasons why Nuno Cruz focused on studying Torres is that Su Dong is also 26 years old.
Looking back at the past, Su Dong actually likes speed and explosive power, and also likes changing speed and direction, but this type of technical movements are easy to get injured, especially when he reaches a certain age.
Sudong has had no injuries in these years, and a very important reason is the protection provided by Nuno Cruz and other personal coaching teams.
But the speed of a player's body decline is directly proportional to his age, and this is independent of human will.
As early as two or three years ago, Nuno Cruz expressed the hope that Sudong would undergo appropriate transformation, such as reducing explosive shots like Barty GOL.
Torres's problem isn't just his, and he's definitely not the last one.
The most important thing Su Dong said at this time was to remind Pepe, and even his close teammates, that they must pay attention to it.
Whenever you are injured, you must take good care of yourself.
At least Su Dong and his team have never been stingy with their friends.
"I basically know how to guard against him now!" Pepe said with confidence.
This is somewhat of a win-win situation, but professional football matches are not a place where morality is emphasized. Pepe is a professional player, and his bounden duty is to use all possible means to kill his opponents.

…………
The day before Manchester City's game against Liverpool, several second-round matches were played in the Premier League.
Arsenal beat Blackpool 6-0 at home thanks to a hat-trick from Theo Walcott.
This was a ruthless massacre.
Blackpool received a red card in the 31st minute and had one less player than Arsenal. The subsequent game showed a one-sided trend, and Arsenal scored six goals in a row.
Center forward Chamakh, whom Wenger introduced on a free transfer from Bordeaux, also scored a goal in the final stage of the game.
…
As if they had made an appointment with Arsenal, Chelsea beat West Bromwich Albion 6-0 at home in the first round. When they challenged Wigan Athletic away from home in this round, Ancelotti's team gained again on the road.
A 6-0 victory.
What surprised everyone was that Drogba once again scored a hat trick.
However, this round was a hat trick of assists.
The Elephant King of Côte d'Ivoire assisted his teammates to score goals three times, and also scored two goals himself.
This is simply an outrageous rhythm!
After seeing Drogba's amazing performance and Chelsea's two consecutive rounds of 6-0 crazy goals, Pepe was speechless.
"Drogba is like a rampaging African elephant now, it's so scary!" Pepe said with a sad face.
Just in the afternoon, he still vowed that Drogba would not be able to score another hat trick.
Yes, Drogba was one goal short of scoring a hat-trick this time, but he got a hat-trick of assists.
After playing this game, Drogba ranked first in the scorer's list and the assists list with five goals and three assists.
The league has only played two rounds, and the current data is still too small to count, but it is already amazing enough to be able to produce such a performance.
You know, this kind of data has appeared on Su Dong, Ronnie and Messi in the past.
Who would have thought that Drogba would have such an amazing explosion?
…
I don’t know if it’s because of the infection from Arsenal and Chelsea, or if the goal goddess suddenly came out with a fracture promotion tonight.
In Newcastle's home game against Aston Villa, with Andy Carroll's hat-trick, the Magpies also beat Aston Villa 6-0 at home.
This made Su Dong completely confused!
OMG!
Is the Premier League too scary?
Forget Drogba, now even small players like Theo Walcott and Andy Carroll can step on Su Dong's head?
"Before tonight, I was still second on the scorer list. Now, how far have I fallen?" Su Dong asked with a wry smile.
All the teammates also found it funny.
Who says it's not?
Who could have imagined that such a goal frenzy would suddenly occur in this round of the Premier League?
Six to zero in three games, this is simply incredible!
Marcelo was a real helper in times of need. He logged on to the website to check and gave Su Dong the answer sympathetically.
"Mr. Su Dong, congratulations. You are not among the top ten shooters currently!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
This round is really crazy.
Gareth Bale, John Elmand, Craig Gardner, Kalou, Anelka, these players all scored twice, plus goals in the first and second rounds.
player of……
If Su Dong hadn't scored in this round, he would have fallen out of the top ten.
Don't ask Su Dong how he feels at this moment, just asking is sad!
The Premier League is so crazy!
Su Dong is starting to miss the Bundesliga a little bit.
