Reina - Torres can have ’tournament of his life’

Defending champions Spain head to Poland and Ukraine with the bulk of their World Cup winning team, and they’re confident heading into the competition. Fernando Torres hasn’t had the best two years following that tournament, but former club team mate Pepe Reina has backed him this time round. Torres scored Spain’s goal to beat Germany in the 2008 final, but has struggled since joining Chelsea in January 2011. But with Barcelona striker David Villa ruled out for the national side, Torres could play a key role in their title defence. Goalkeeper Pepe Reina said: “I hope Torres has the tournament of his life. Yesterday we talked about how brilliant he is now. He is a pivotal player for us. He is well physically and he knows how important he is for the team, especially after Villa’s absence. Torres feels himself important for the team and he loves that role. I think that he is in great form and I wish Spain benefits from his goals.“ Bookmark: http://www.
