Spain’s manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 and David Villa form
Spanish national team manager, Vicente Del Bosque, has shown concerns over the form of his strike duo, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Venezuela-c3039 on May 7, 2011.
Both players are going through a rough period of late and have struggled to make an impact at their respective clubs. Barcelona striker, David Villa, has scored only one goal in his last 14 matches for the club and his poor form has also raised the eyebrows
of his club manager, Pep Guardiola, who is still unsure of whether to select him for the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United later this month.
On the other hand, Torres has scored just one goal in 15 appearances since joining http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 for a £50 million move in January 2011. The strike pair has been phenomenal in Spain’s recent success and their goal-scoring prowess of late has helped them to become
the European and World Champions.
Del Bosque is worried that the strikers might not find their form ahead of the International game. The superb form of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez might tempt the manager to leave one of Villa or Torres on the bench.
Talking to the reporters, Del Bosque said, "I am concerned [about Torres and Villa's form] although both are guaranteed [a place in the squad].
The 60-year-old is also hoping that the recent bad air between the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Real Madrid players is not carried to the national team. The 90 percent of the Spanish National team constitutes of players from the two clubs, and the recent heated words between
them in the five fixtures this season have lead to lot of unrest between the two set of players.
"Hopefully there is no problem [between Madrid and Barcelona players], the players have a responsibility and remain united so I'm sure they will show this," he added.
Del Bosque is expected to announce the squad for the friendly on May 25, 2011, and the duo is likely to travel to South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
