The Atletico Madrid player has voiced his opinion regarding the World champions, claiming that they will surely reach the showdown of the coveted competition.
Spain's Juan Francisco Torres Belen, or the player more commonly known as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanfran-c19849, has claimed that his national side has the potential to reach
the final of the Euro 2012.
The player, who expressed great desire to feature for La Roja in their bid to defend the European title, believes that Vicente del Bosque's men will go
all the way in the prestigious competition.
Although the Spaniard has not recieved the chance to represent his national team in the European Championship yet, he has refused to give up hope.
The defender continues to remain optimistic about his chances with the Reds, as they still have 3 more games to play.
The Atletico player took the privilege of comparing himself with his compatriot, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Arbeloa-c5282, stressing that he respects the Real Madrid full-back and the decision of the Spanish national team's head coach, Vicente del Bosque.
The player maintained that he is more than ready to wait for his chance rather than pile any pressure on his manager, emphasizing that Arbeloa's performance for the defending champions is above satisfactory.
While talking to reporters, the defender was quoted as saying:
"I would like to play more. I respect Alvaro Arbeloa and the decisions of coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque. I think that my chance could come. I am prepared to help the team and since I believe we will reach the final, I still have three chances in three different
matches."
"But Arbeloa is a team-mate of mine and he has been playing very well, so I will defend him to the death."
Spain's performance in the prestigious tournament has been commendable, although many experts believe that it was hardly convincing as only great things are expected of the side that has been dominating the world of football over the past 4 years.
La Furia Roja were held to a draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 after they conceded a goal against the Azzurri in their first match of the Euro 2012 campaign.
However, the draw was followed by victories in their two remaining games. The Spaniards were unable to show their best against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879, a side which forced them to defend.
It will be interesting to see how things finally wind up for the World champions.
