Dear Fernando

You seem to be forgetful. You said this recently - Torres also looked further ahead to World Cup next summer where he says Spain would relish the chance to face the United States, England's opening opponents.
"They beat us in the Confederations Cup and it was, I think, not the real thing so we had 27 shots on target but we couldn't score. But it will be nice to play against them.
Curious, because unlike you, I remember what was being said pre Confederations Cup."Spain will go to the Confederations Cup later this month with nearly the same lineup it used to win the 2008 European Championship.
Coach Vicente del Bosque named 17 of the 23 players that were part of the Euro 2008 success on Monday, including the majority of
starters. Injured Villarreal midfielder Marcos Senna is the only regular that missed out.
Del Bosque also included injured Barcelona players Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique despite the Spanish champions saying that the two players were doubts for the eight-nation tournament in South Africa."
Even your teammates disagree, according to what they said to goal.com earlier this year
"Fernando Llorente has recently been making his way into Vicente Del Bosque's squads and even opened his international account against England. Speaking ahead of the tournament, Llorente said, "This tournament is very important for me, because it is my first big competition with the international team."
"I hope to contribute to the best of my ability."
Llorente then touched on the subject of Andres Iniesta, who will miss the tournament through injury, continuing, "A player of his calibre is fundamental to any team, so, of course, we will miss him.
"However, we have other good players and we know they will do the job."
While Iniesta will be absent, many are surprised at Santi Cazorla's inclusion in the squad, given that he was also expected to miss the tournament through injury. The Villarreal midfielder, however, assured everyone that he was ready.
"If I didn't believe I was a hundred percent fit, I would not have come," explained the 23-year-old.
"My recovery has gone better than expected, my ankle has responded very well. We shortened the recovery time considerably.
"I am pleased to be here, because that was my objective."
Cazorla then also spoke about Iniesta's absence, and he echoed the sentiments of Llorente.
"Of course, any team will miss such a spectacular player."
"But we have a lot of great players and we expect that his absence will not hurt us eventually."
Maybe your side's stellar form at Liverpool has allowed you to forget your tremendous summer, and how seriously you took those games. Oh wait, maybe this season is not the real thing either?
