To be perfectly honest mates“I guess it is probably because of these characteristics that the majority think they can solve problems by getting tough with me.
“But the truth is most of them lack defensive positioning as a result of their reliance on strength and aggression and leave so much space for you to take advantage of.”
I'm completely shocked with this statement.![]()
I for one think that the level of CB in England is outstanding, much better than in Spain. I say that as honestly as I say that the goalkeeping I see in England is quite poor.
Even a CB you probably didn't like much like Kvarme, when he came to Spain was good for the standard of the Liga.
I thought Torres might say something along the lines that the less interruptions and more continuous game in England benefits his game (I think this is true), but I'd never expect him doubting about the positional strenghth of their rivals. Shocking, to be honest.
Th0e standard of defending is higher in la liga without a doubt, especially amongst the smaller teams. I agree with every word with what Torres says
