Liverpool ace
Fernando Torres says the world
is trembling at the prospect of teammate Steven Gerrard being paired with
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney
in England's attack.
Torres said: "I have never played with a better player than
Stevie - for me he really is the best in the world.
"If Rooney can get an understanding with him, that will
make England one of the most dangerous attacking forces in the
world. He runs into space like no other player in the world and he
can find you with a pass from 50 yards.
"I have the advantage of playing with Stevie week in and week
out. But Rooney is a good enough player to find an
understanding with him.
"I can guarantee there will be no defence in the world that's
not scared of them. When a nation wins a major tournament there are
always two players who form a devastating understanding.
"You had Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, Del
Piero and Totti and, most recently, the understanding I had
with David Villa. That is the
sort of class I know Stevie and Wayne can be in if they get that
understanding.
"They are world class and have the attributes to complement each
other very nicely.
"But, most importantly, they show passion when playing for their
country and you can't win a tournament without that."
