Life Comes a Full Circle!!! Spains 2008-14 golden era will be remembered mainly for tiki-taka, but Torres and Villas contributions were something special in their own right. Torres was the main offensive force in the early years of Spains run, while Villa did his greatest damage in the later years. A vote of thanks to the coach of Spain Luis Aragones who laid the foundation for this Great Team & took them to Victory in 2008 Euro Championships. David Villa and Fernando Torres represented the new era of Spain: young, wild, risk-takers, a bit arrogant, and full of hunger to win. Villa and Torres were the “Furia” in “Furia Roja”. While the midfield controlled the game, it was Torres and Villa that were the executors for Spain. Their furious and passionate celebrations were contagious and a joy to see. During those early years of Spanish dominance, Villa and Torres were arguably the deadliest national team combination in the game. On September 2, 2006, in the first game of the Group F qualifiers for Euro 2008, El Guaje ( as David Villa is called in Spain) and El Niño ( As Fernando Torres is called in Spain) each scored in a win, which marked the beginning of Spain’s journey to greatness. Against Australia, in the last game of the World Cup for La Furia Roja, Spain’s run of greatness ended with Villa and Torres each scoring a goal in a Spanish win. The beautiful game has a way of bringing things into full circle !!!
