The Spanish international has expressed his anticipation ahead of the European finals, warning his compatriots that the tournament will be tougher than the World Cup.
Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta has stated that the Spanish national side is heading into its toughest challenge in recent years, maintaining that this year’s competition will be harder than the one they faced two years ago.
Iniesta went on to state that there is no doubt that La Roja overcame great adversity during the FIFA World Cup 2010 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757; however, he insisted that the European championship this summer will be more difficult than the World Cup.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men will take up the challenge of the best teams across Europe in their bid to defend the silverware they acquired four years ago.
Euro 2012 will take place in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 and the Barca midfielder has acknowledged that the European tournament will witness an entertaining and thrilling competition.
La Roja have dominated the international stage for quite a while now, as they emerged triumphant from the Euro 2008 along with winning the World Cup two years later.
However, the Reds are faced with greater competition this time around. In addition to this, the Iberian side are also missing a few key players which is likely to add up to their anxiety before they begin the defence of their title.
While talking to reporters, Iniesta was quoted as saying:
"It will be harder than the last one, but our motivation will get us there. The past is always easier than what is to come. This European Championship will be much tougher than the World Cup we won, but the team is ready,"
"I like to live in the present, based on what's ahead of us. It's not the excitement of scoring a goal, but the excitement of playing a great championship, of the team playing well again and having a chance again. We have a beautiful challenge ahead of us,
which will be much tougher than the last one."
