The Sevilla striker is wary of the Italian team and believes that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 will face-off with their toughest opponents in Euro 2012 final.

Sevilla star, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Negredo-c5294, is wary of meeting the Azzurri in the July 1st final as he hailed their impressive attacking displays and strong outings by the backline stars.
Analysing the situation, he advised his compatriots to be patient in unlocking their defence. Negredo followed up his excelled words of wisdom with words of caution against giving up the possession on the ball easily, stating that Italy will make them pay
for their mistakes.
The Real Madrid youth academy graduate also took out time to praise their rivals, commenting that Italy have the most omnipotent attack amongst the teams they have faced so far and claimed that their attackers will cause problems for Spanish defenders.
“Italy are a more attacking team than in the past, and they like to move the ball around a bit. But they continue to play in a tough and robust manner," he was quoted on fifa.com.
"Playing against them can be a little exasperating, because they don’t leave you any gaps. We’ll have to be very patient."
Negredo started Spain’s match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque included in his
tactical plan to unsettle http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 Bento’s men.
“It [starting the semi-final] took me by surprise as well, but the idea was for me to put in a bit of graft, the kind of work that’s not necessarily that noticeable," he said.
"I was asked to do the dirty work, battling with their defenders and wearing them down, to clear the way for players capable of destabilising their back line."
