Fernando Torres Praises Pep Guardiola and FC Barcelona
Fernando Torres (Chelsea)ย praised Pep Guardiola and FC Barcelona in a statement published in the Liga BBVA Website. The statement was subsequently published in the Univision Online Magazine.
Torres commented on how Guardiola and FC Barcelona were able to win "every year". Torres continued by saying that he does not know how Guardiola keeps the players content.
The statements by Torres comes in the wake of recent statements by AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi about Barca. Berlusconi declared that 50% of the victories by FC Barcelona are based on "pure luck".

Torres made the statements before the match betweenย Barca and Real Sociedad, which resulted in a tie. The result of the declarations by Torres and Berlusconi made me arrive at a conclusion based on the subject of hard work and dedication.
Hard Work and Dedication
No team in the realm of sports wins on the basis of luck. The road to victory is based on hard work, dedication, consistency and discipline.
The road to victory lies in the inner psyche that is within every one of us. The idea of luck as suggested by Berlusconi (with all due respect to the AC Milan President) cheapens any victory.
The question mark proposed by Fernando Torres is also ridiculous since he scored only one goal since his arrival at Chelsea in the beginning of 2011. No team is ever perfect since FC Barcelona tied Real Sociedad.
FC Barcelona even has its bad days, such as its defeat before Chivas of Guadalajara at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Florida on August 2011. FC Barcelona (and all teams) have their good and bad days.
Conclusions and Thanks
I have a direct suggestion for Torres and he should pay attention. Torres, you should pay attention on how to improve your scoring skills before Villas-Boas shows you the door.
I am also willing to challenge Silvio Berlusconi to a debate on his reasons for luck in Barca's victory. I also want to acknowledge that this article was written while listening to "We Are The Champions" interpreted by Queen on YouTube.
