Fletcher pin points Fernando Torres as Spain’s main weapon – EURO 2012 Qualification
Darren Fletcher has come out in his latest interview and outlined Fernando Torres as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011’s danger man ahead of Scotland’s matchup against the Spanish international team as a part of the final few matches of the 2012 European
Championships’ qualification campaign. Scotland find themselves in a precarious situation which requires them to take points off the current World Champions. Spain ran rampant last summer in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 on their way
to winning the trophy at the Soccer City stadium.
Their style of play was hailed as revolutionary back then and is still seen as the “style” to beat in international as well as club football. Scotland on the other hand have proved to be sticky customers themselves who focus on
determination rather than style, a recipe that just might work against the technically superior Spanish national team side. In recent weeks pressure has been piled on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 who has been in abysmal form since last year’s FIFA World Cup. However the
Scottish national team captain http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 has come out and refuted the claims that Torres is a finished force suffering from a lack of form.
The Manchester United midfielder said, "I think his performances have been good since the start of the season. Maybe he hasn't had the goals but if you look at his overall performance he has looked, hungry, dangerous and lively.
Maybe he is a little too keen at times. I think his sending-off (for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 against Swansea) was down to his sheer determination to do well and show people that he cares. But watching the game against Czech Republic the other night, he did his role for the
team.”
He added, "He held a high line, he stretched the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Czech-Republic-c2882 as much as he could and threatened in behind which gave the space for the creative players to keep the ball in midfield. So it was a fantastic performance for the
team without getting the rewards of a goal." http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Scotland-c756 need to win against Spain to guarantee themselves an appearance in the qualification playoffs for the 2012 European Championships.
