Spain striker Fernando Torres has insisted that he is worthy of his place in the national team's starting XI.
The Chelsea man ended a year-long goal drought at international level on Thursday evening, scoring four times during a 10-0 demolition of Tahiti, but believes that he had nothing to prove.
"I have done enough things in my career with Spain so I don't have to prove anything," The AP quotes Torres as saying.
"I have played more than 100 caps and I have scored more than 25 goals. I have been playing 10 years for the national team so [I have] nothing to prove. I am not a kid."
The Tahiti clash marked Torres's first competitive start for Spain since last October.
