The Arsenal defender is optimistic about France’s chances against the reigning World and European Champions in the quarter-finals of Euro 2012
France will be clear underdogs against Spain when the two teams meet in the knock-out stage of the European Championship.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742 will play his first game of the tournament thanks to the suspension of first-choice central-defender Philippe Mexes. The 26-year-old defender is in confident mood ahead of the quarter-final tie against La Roja. Koscielny feels that the
disappointment of losing to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 will hold no weight on the team and players are fully focused on their upcoming match.
While talking to reporters, the Arsenal man revealed that France will play without any fear against the reigning champions as Les Bleus have nothing to lose in the match and pressure will be on Spain to deliver.
"It will be a stimulating challenge playing against the defending champions. We have nothing to lose. I do not see why we would have to fear them; rather we should be taking fun from it.”
According to Laurent Koscielny, current Spanish team plays very much like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707, as they have played
against each other on several occasions in English Premier League.
The Frenchman views Torres as the most dangerous player and has urged his teammates to be cautious of the threat the Spaniard poses. But at the same time, Koscielny believes that Torres is not the only player Les Bleus should be worried of as the Spanish
team has so many great players who can cause problems for Laurent Blanc’s men.
“They (Spain)are a collective team. He will not be their only threat, but we will prepare ourselves to be there on Saturday."
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 have gifted attacking players in their ranks like Torres, Silva and Fabregas and the task to keep them quiet will be a test of Koscielny’s capabilities as Philippe Mexes will be suspended for the match. The Arsenal defender vows to avail this opportunity
to show the world what he is capable of and wants to prove that he deserves a place on the field.
