The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 forward has admitted that his side faced a number of complications when they took up the challenge of the Croatians.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Croatia-c2879.
The two sides locked horns at the PGE Arena in Gdansk on Monday. Although La Roja emerged as 1-0 winners from the fixture, a defensively weaker Spanish team was seen as the Croatians kept on threatening their goal time and time again.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men have managed to qualify for the last eight of the Euro 2012; however, experts ponder how far they will be able to go in the coveted competition.
Torres is concerned that his side are yet to show their best and that they haven’t been fully able to demonstrate their potential.
Their first match of the European Championship ended in a draw, as the Reds took up the challenge of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. The two sides were able to put up an excellent show, but the defending champions of Europe could not secure all three points from a game they were
tipped to win.
Italy showed a lot of character against the team which has been dominating the world of football over the past 8 years and this earned them a valuable point.
The first match was followed by a 4-0 win over Ireland for Del Bosque’s men, which finally showed their destructive side. Nonetheless, when they faced Croatia, many observed that they were unable to dominate like they did against oppositions in the previous
edition of the competition.
The former Atletico Madrid forward has pointed this out and has maintained that if La Furia Roja fail to show their best, their ambition to reclaim the European title may run out.
While talking to reporters, the 28-year-old quoted:
"There is room to improve. We have not played at the level that Spain can reach and we have to try to be better."
"It was a very intelligent approach from Croatia. Their central midfielders played very deep, denying us space to play the final ball. Their plan was to remain compact and then try to play on the counter-attack as much as possible. Their boss planned a very
intelligent game and made us play very far from the box."
Continuing their campaign, Spain are set to face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in the quarter-finals of the Euro 2012.
