In the wake of Spain’s 1-1 draw against Italy in their Euro 2012 opening fixture, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 attacker opined that they will have to win their remaining matches.
An inspired performance by Italy held reigning European champions and top seeds, Spain, to a 1-1 draw. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306 opened the scoring for the Azzurri with Cesc Fabregas equalizing within minutes of the Udinese attacker’s goal.
In the after math of the crunch Group C fixture, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Torres-c13707 refused to dwell on their result as he claimed that now the Spanish team do not have any room for error.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 player opined that it was an open match with both sides having plenty of chances to win it.
“We could have won or lost. I would not say it's a setback, but is a result that could have been better.”
"We have to win all of our remaining matches now. What matters is that Spain must win whatever the situation or the opposition."
Responding to questions regarding influential players from both teams, Torres singled out Andres Iniesta from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833. Furthermore, the 28-year-old reasserted his stance that both teams could have won, hinting at the draw
being a just result.
"[Andres] Iniesta played a big role in my chances but Buffon saved the game for Italy. We both had chances to win.”
Analyzing the details of the match after his and Jesus Navas introduction, Torres claimed that they managed to stretch the Italian defence that allowed Iniesta to become more dangerous as the time went on.
"[http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926] became fatigued and the entry of [Jesus] Navas did a lot of damage. Iniesta found more space between lines and was the man of the match.”
As Spain and Italy salvaged an important point from their tricky opening encounter, Croatia humbled http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Republic-of-Ireland-c2987 in their fixture. The dark horses of European football won their match 1-3 as they sent clear signals to their group rivals.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Giovanni-c14985 Trapattoni’s Irish squad on June 14.
