France winger Florent Malouda will face his Chelsea team-mate when France meet http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 in the Euro 2012 quarter-finals and the midfielder is aware of the threat Spaniard poses for Les Bleus
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 endured a poor 2011/2012 campaign with Chelsea scoring just 6 goals in 32 League appearances for the Champions League winners.
However, El Nino has returned to form recently and the Spaniard scored a brace against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Villa’s leg-break that
ended his season.
And El http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s team-mate Malouda worried. The Frenchman knows that Torres wants to show that he is still one of the best strikers in the world and the Spaniard has the perfect stage in the form of European Championship
to prove himself.
"Fernando finished the season very strongly and showed great determination. He has a great desire to show that he is still one of the world's great strikers. The Euros are a perfect showcase for him to show his qualities and he can demonstrate this and return
to the club stronger.”
Florent Malouda feels that facing Torres in such form will be a tough test for Les Bleus as the player has won the previous European Championship and World Cup. The France international believes that facing Torres will be as tough as facing Ibrahimovic.
However, Malouda has vowed to stop Torres from scoring against Laurent Blanc’s side. The 32-year-old rates Torres in high regards and believes that his club team-mate is among the best strikers of the world who can easily score goals against any team of
the world.
"http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 can easily score two or three goals and he is the player who makes great runs for his team-mates. He will be a true menace for us and we must do everything to make sure he will not shine."
France’s failure to beat Sweden in their last group-fixture resulted in an end to Les Bleus’ 23-match unbeaten streak. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 cannot afford to play like that again
against La Roga.
