Juventus striker Llorente: I would never have done 'a Diego Costa'

Juventus forward Fernando Llorente has criticised Atletico Madrid's Deigo Costa for committing to Spain.

Diego Costa has turned his back on Brazil to declare his commitment to the world champs.

"I am not upset that Diego Costa has chosen to play for Spain," Llorente told AS. "Any player would want to play for the Spanish national team.

"Had I been in the same position as Costa, I would have chosen to represent the country of my birth but everyone is entitled to do whatever they want to do."
