No rest for Alonso tonight so ahead of Saturday's game. The new Spain coach, Vcente Del Bosque, has outlined the team that he has chosen to play Spain's second World Cup Qualifier tonight against Armenia. Talking after an open training session in front of 5000 fans in Albacete, Del Bosque implied that Xabi Alonso and Santi Cazorla would be replacing Marcos Senna and Cesc Fabregas. Del Bosque indicated that the changes are purely for tactical reasons, and no mention of Fabregas' outburst after being substituted on Saturday was made, but there will obviously be speculation that it may have affected the coach's decision. David Villa will be the lone striker up front, after scoring the winning goal against Bosnia. Probable team: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Puyol, Albiol, Capdevila, Cazorla, Xabi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Capel, Villa.
Haha...classic journalism there! Game shouldnt be overly stressful for Xavi, cant imagine Armenia being too tough to beat for a team like Spain.
