FIFA Confederations Cup 2013: Spain vs Italy: Key battles

Italy v Japan: Group A - FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013

Torres vs. Chiellini

Italy v Brazil: Group A - FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013

It is tough to predict whether Vicente del Busque would go with Torres or Roberto Soldado to spearhead the Spanish attack. But considering the fact that the Chelsea hit man has been a prolific scorer for his country in recent years, Torres might be the one who would be leading the attack. Torres is currently the competition’s top scorer with 5 goals, 4 of which came against a weakened Haiti side. This time around Torres faces a much tougher opposition in the form of Giorgio Chiellini. The Italian defender hasn’t had a memorable experience in this year’s Confederations Cup after being unable to keep a clean sheet in any of the matches so far. Chiellini has all the characteristics of a quality centre-back and has what it takes to become a legend. The Italian would need to bring his A game to play against Torres.
