I don't care & won't cry about Spain not calling me up, says Llorente

Thegoalmac can reveal that Fernando Llorente says he is not going to cry over his continued exclusion from the Spain squad, insisting his sole concern is on helping Juventus win their Champions League group decider with Atletico Madrid next month.

The towering striker has not been summoned by Roja coach Vicente del Bosque for a year - despite a fine debut campaign in Serie A last season.

The begging question is, if Diego Costa who is not suited to tiki taka is being called up, why hasn't Llorente being called up too? Who many claim is not also suited to tiki taka. Just asking sha. Read what he said after the cut.

I’m not going to cry if I don’t get into the national team," Llorente told Sky Sport Italia.
"I don’t know if I have the confidence of the coach. I only know that I have to continue working well with my club.

"We have to win against Atletico and we will try to clinch first place in our group.”
However, Llorente admitted that he is happy with his recent form, having netted three times in his last three outings in all competitions.

"I am working well and I think it shows on the pitch," the 29-year-old stated.
Llorente, who joined Juve on a free transfer from Athletic last year, has netted seven times in 24 previous appearances for Spain.
