Xavi Hernandez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 and Spain’s stalwart midfielder has come out before England’s friendly tie against Spain at the Wembley stadium and stated that the English national team will be strong opponents for Spain on the 12th
of November, 2011 when both the teams take the field in London at the Wembley stadium. Spain who are currently the world champions courtesy of their impressive win over Holland in the FIFA 2010 World Cup final are overwhelming favourites to win against England
and Xavi will definitely be at the centre of the proceedings come Saturday as England will attempt to surprise the Iberian giants
Spain’s particular brand of possession football has made them into an outstanding unit and their ability to hold onto the ball for large parts of the game is something that England and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello will be wary of. England last
played Spain before the 2008 European Championships, in a friendly match that the three lions lost but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 weren’t strong back then in comparison to their current line up.
Xavi said in his latest interview, "It's not easy and we know we're in London for a hard test against a very strong opponent but I'm optimistic. We believe that with our style, we can beat any rival. In any competition, in the
World Cup or in the Euros, England are always among the favourites for the title. At Euro 2012 people think they have a chance to win. The English are difficult opponents. So Saturday will be a unique match for us, a hard test.”
He added that he wouldn’t want to face England at the European Championships in the group stages as the three lions are always hard to beat due to their talented players and extraordinary sprit. Spain will take confidence from
the fact that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 will be without their inspirational forward. Furthermore, England’s squad will be a relatively young one as Capello has insisted that he wants to try out different
players in different positions before next summer’s European Championships in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
