Torres: no rift with Aragones

SPAIN striker Fernando Torres has rubbished talk of a rift between himself and coach Luis Aragones as they face into tonight’s clash with Sweden (5pm).

The Liverpool frontman was reportedly unhappy at being substituted after 54 minutes of Spain’s 4-1 win over Russia in their opening game in Group D, but Torres insisted he remains on good terms with Aragones.

“There is no problem,” he said. “I have spoken with the coach. I have not had problems with any coach.”
