Mata defends Fernando Torres' Spain goal drought

It's been over a year since the former Liverpool striker scored a goal for his country in a competitive match, but there are no problems for the ex-Valencia manJuan Mata has defended Spain and Chelsea team-mate Fernando Torres from criticism after failing to find the net for his country once again.Torres has not scored for Spain since bagging a goal in a 4-0 friendly win over the USA in June.Prior to that, his last goal for Vicente del Bosque's men came in September 2010 when he scored a double in a 4-0 Euro 2012 qualifying win over Liechtenstein.However, Mata is not concerned and said the Chelsea striker had the full backing of his international colleagues."I live with Torres on a daily basis and he is really eager to score for both Chelsea and Spain," Mata is quoted as saying by AS.com."He has played some excellent games for us and I am sure he will continue showing his good form."Spain take on Scotland in their Euro 2012 Group I qualifier on Tuesday. They are already through to Poland and Ukraine, but Mata expects another decent performance."Those who play Spain always want to do well and it is an important game for them. They will want to create problems for us. But, there are no easy games. In any case, you don't just win just to be champions," he explained.
