The retired Portuguese international believes that La Roja can never be written off and are always considered favourites in whatever competition they take part in.
Former Real Madrid number 7, Luis Figo, has voiced his appreciation for World champions, Spain, stating that they are very likely to reclaim their European title in the summer.
Spain will travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 this summer to defend their title in the Euro 2012, and are rated among serious contenders to win the coveted competition.
Figo is of the opinion that recent years have seen the Reds emerge as one of the strongest sides in the world and the increase in the level of performance since their last European triumph is proof of the fact that they are a destructive force.
According to the legendary footballer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men will begin their European campaign as favourites to emerge victorious from it.
The Portuguese footballer believes that despite the improved competition across Europe, the strength of the Spanish squad cannot be undermined.
Although no team has ever managed to win the European championship twice in a row, Spain appear considerably strong on paper and apart from a couple of players missing from the team, there is no reason that they shouldn’t be called the favourites.
Retired veteran, Figo, has emphasized that La Roja Furia’s exploits in the FIFA World Cup 2010 have shown their true potential. As Del Bosque’s men paved their way to the highest prize in the world of football, it was imminent how they established a place
in history.
While talking to reporters, the 39-year-old was quoted as saying:
"It's clear that Spain are the favourites to retain their title this summer based on what they've done in the past few years. In my opinion, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 are always one of the favourites, at least in theory. You never know what happens on the pitch, though."
The illustrious superstar then went on to discuss that the rivalry between http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid has overshadowed the rest of the Spanish La Liga, stating that the supremacy of the two teams will bring an end to competition.
"I miss the times when there were more teams in La Liga fighting for the title. It's just Barcelona and Real Madrid these days,” Figo told reporters.
The Spanish Primera has indeed seen the two footballing giants dominate the league over the years.
