Fernando Torres believes Italians are always tough opponents – Football news
Spanish striker and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 star, Fernando Torres, recently commented about the Italian side, claiming that they are always tough opponents.
While talking about the Italians, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 said, “Regardless of the results that we have had lately, the draw in Euro 2008, the draw in the group stage of Euro 2012, the win the final of Euro 2012. Removing that the final was one of the best matches
played by this squad, in which everyone performed to their best, against Italy we always expect a tough match with few goals, against a team that knows how to compete and even more so in competition. A semi-final in a tournament is always going to be a tough
game.”
This is the third time Spain will face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306 scoring for Spain and Italy respectively.
Later, the two sides met in the final of the Euro 2012. Italy managed to beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011
were able to win the match 4-0, showing how they are the best side in the world.
Now, the two teams are facing in the semi-final stage of the Confederations Cup. While Italy have not been in extraordinary form during this competition, Spain have won all their fixtures and are still favourites to take the title home. However, Fernando
Torres has claimed that Italians are always tough opponents and playing against them is not an easy task.
The two teams will collide on June 27, 2013, with Spain being heavy favourites to win the game, especially with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 out of the picture. The AC Milan player is going through a muscle problem and will be out of action against Spain. Balotelli,
without a doubt, is an integral part of the Italian team and without him, the Italians might have problems in scoring goals.
