The golden age of Spanish football has players vying for the national team berths, a fact learned the hard way by Atletico Madrid youth academy graduate, Fernando Torres.
Once known to be one of the most prolific strikers in the world is now undergoing a horrendous spell in front of the net and has been dropped from La Roja roster as a consequence.
Torres has failed to score for Chelsea since October, his last goal coming in the UEFA Champions League fixture against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Racing-c40298 Genk. The striker has seen the list of hisfans shrink over time, Del Bosque becoming the latest name.
However, the decision to drop the 27-year-old has been well received in footballing circles, with former Spanish national team manager, Luis Aragones, coming out in the open to hail the decision.
Reflecting on the situation, Aragones stated that a player in Torres’ predicament should not be called up for the national team and must be given time to prove his worth for the selection.
"I understand that he has not been called, he is not going through a good time and must wait for another opportunity.”
"It is normal for a player who does not play and is not in good form to not go with the team."
Torres’ axing leaves http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-Negredo-c5294 are sidelined due to injuries.
Soldado reacted enthusiastically to the opportunity as he beckons on his first outing for La Roja since 2007. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 attacker promised to do his best for the national side and give a good account of his abilities as the roster for Euro 2012 is shortlisted.
"Competition for places is fierce and there are still three months which will define whether I can be at the Euros.”
"If I get a chance I hope to take advantage of it. There are still three long months until the tournament."
So far in his career, the Real Madrid academy graduate has failed to open his goal scoring account in his two national team appearances.
