The Spanish right-back was full of praise for his Real Madrid teammate, stating that La Roja players will have to be wary of his dangerous runs in their Euro 2012 quarter-final meeting.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011’s chances of defending their European crown, claiming that their rivals are a very balanced outfit with mercurial talents studded higher up the pitch.
The Real Madrid player pointed out the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 as players who will cause problems for La Roja, adding that the former should be kept in check at all times.
He stated that Benzema is the most dangerous player in Laurent Blanc’s team as he believes the French ace is one of the best players in world football.
Continuing on the topic, he added that it is a privilege to play alongside him day in day out at the Santiago Bernabeu, hailing him for his exceptional intelligence on the footballing pitch.
Moreover, when quizzed about the possibility of a stalemate in regulation time, Arbeloa remarked that he has his fingers crossed against such a situation.
"They are a really balanced team with a lot of talent up front," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 player told EFE.
"Logically, a lot of the attention is on Benzema, [Franck] Ribery and, with the form he's in, [Samir] Nasri. They're game-changers.”
"But at the moment Benzema's the king of the jungle. Karim is one of the best players in the world today and the people who are lucky enough to see him every day are even more aware that nobody has his intelligence for the game.”
"I hope they don't get there!" the experienced defender mused.
For their Euro 2012 quarter-final fixture, Spain move away from their humble surroundings of Polish city of Gdansk, where they have played all their Group C matches at the PGE Arena. Their next checkpoint is Donetsk which hosts the 3rd quarterfinal that kicks off at 20 45 Central European Time.
