TORRES WARY OF ITALY BLAKLASH

Spain defeated Italy 4-0 at last summer's Euro 2012 final in a dominating performance and Torres believes that Cesare Prandelli's men will be up to avenge their loss when the two sides meet on Wednesday for the Confederations Cup semi-final in Brazil. "The Spanish know what Italy has meant to Spain throughout the history of the game. They have knocked us out of World Cups and European Championships," he said in a press conference. "Now we have the wins in 2008 and last year as a reference, we know what we have to do, but a team with great players like they have can be very dangerous. "And if they have been hurt in the past, they can be even more dangerous. When they have to compete they will compete because they have done so all their lives." Should Spain go through to the final, it is likely that they will meet hosts Brazil, who will face Uruguay in the other semi-final clash a day later, but Torres is not taking things for granted at the moment. He added: "Brazil-Spain is a final everybody wants, but both Brazil and Spain have to have respect for Uruguay and Italy, who have been world champions. "They will be games in which you can have no margin for error." Torres wary of Italy backlash Spain striker Fernando Torres has told his team mates to not expect an easy time against Italy in the Confederations Cup semi- final against the Azzurri.
