We should ignore Pearce's nonsense about '' Demichelis struggling like this'' and Lawrenson's cheap sarcasm about'' directing the traffic like a Buenos Aires policeman''.If we look at actual match incidents and not the impressions of clapped-out pundits, then. yes, there was one time when Torres in full flow swerved round his tackle. But , on three other occasions, he robbed Torres, once on the touchline and twice just outside the box . He also got the better of Oscar twice,one of which was a feint which the Brazilian bought. Another time he cleverly intercepted to thwart Hazard when he was motoring in on goal.Though he took stick from the pundits over the first goal, he hadn't'' forgotten about Schurlle ''' as they claimed. He reckoned he could cut out Torres' ball across the six yard box and he nearly did. True, the corner he conceded right at the start didn't look good but he probably expected Hart to take decisive action and then found he had to lash it out.
at all times,Martin Demichelis looked what he is- an experienced, streetwise central defender-seven years with Bayern Munich- whose headed clearances are powerful and accurate, whose tackles are hard and well-timed and who passes calmly and carefully out of defence.
Amid the 90th minute horror show ,the image that's better to remember is of Demich's effort when he ran across and flung himself into a valiant attempt to block torres' shot. his debut sure was a baptism of fire , marking Torres who suddenly looked like the world-class striker he was when liverpool first signed him.Demichelis was a shining light in the gloom and should make a good centre-back partner for VK -ASAP.
