The Chelsea forward completed an indifferent season at the Stamford Bridge with the UEFA Champions League winners’ medal and a call-up for Euro 2012 by Vicente Del Bosque.
For the majority of the season http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 has sulked in the Blues dressing room. The Atletico Madrid youth academy player has failed to make his mark in the English capital following his 50 million Pound signing.
However, a remarkable turnaround at the end of the 2011/12 season has earned the blonde-haired attacker a ticket to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 hosted European championships.
Torres gave a good account of his abilities in his substitute role for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, scoring in the final minutes of the match to secure progression to the final at the Allianz
Arena.
Reflecting on the situation, the 28-year-old admitted that he saw himself out of contention for the international event after a below par first half of the season.
He added that the dominance http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 star confided that he has never waited for the call-up with this enthusiasm and is happy that
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque saw him return to top form.
Continuing on the topic, Torres claimed that Spain have to believe in themselves to successfully defend their European title, and should not shy away from give their all on the football pitch.
"Yes, I saw myself out of the list," he said. "I never received a call with such enthusiasm.”
"Spain have won the right to be called favourites and we have to accept this tag, but it is worthless because you have to prove it on the field.”
"Three titles in a row is something no one has done before. If we can achieve it we will be a world reference because people will be talking about this generation for many years."
Torres’ change in fortunes have been aided by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Villa’s inability to prove his fitness before the end of the season, forcing Vicente Del Bosque to continue with an experienced player used to the rigours of international football.
