Chelsea's Torres keen to give his all for Spain

Chelsea striker Fernando Torres has vowed to repay the faith shown in him by Spain boss Vicente del Bosque.

The 28-year old has been recalled to the La Furia Roja squad for this summer's Euros after being left out of a friendly with Venezuela in February and is now looking to bring his best to Poland and Ukraine.

"I was left out of the squad and that was tough," he said.

"I started to understand that things were serious, that I wasn't getting much playing time with my club and that if things carried on that way, I wouldn't be going to Euro 2012.

"Vicente has put his faith in me and now I need to show him I am ready to play whenever he thinks it necessary. I hope to be able to give the team the best of me."
