The 2011/2012 English Premier League season is quickly coming upon us. Many expectations are upon the players and coaches, particularly on one Fernando Torres. After starting the season with Liverpool and feeling dissatisfaction over their lack of trophy potential, Torres headed to greener pastures at Stamford Bridge. Transferring to Chelsea at the deadline for a record deal brought about high expectations for the Spanish striker, and unfortunately his debut half-season with Chelsea only managed to deliver one goal.
But a new season is upon us. Torres is rested. Torres is fit. Torres is ready.
In my potentially tragic bout of optimism, I'm predicting Torres will prove he's worth the millions Roman Abramovich dumped into the campaign to bring him to Chelsea. We've all seen the genius of his playing, and I believe he's due for a comeback after seeming like he's a shadow of his former self for awhile.
Nando Watch will be documenting his progress during his first full season at Stamford Bridge in hopes of capturing a wonderful performance that will have all of the nay-sayers fall silent as they can no longer voice their doubts. It is a potentially tall order, but Torres is well on his way with already one goal under his belt during Chelsea's preseason tour over Asia.
Be on the lookout for the first installment of Nando Watch as the Premier League begins in coming weeks. This series will either be testament to a star player bouncing back or a sad but hilarious recount of Roman Abramovich banging his head against a wall.
