Iglesias eyes Llorente’s 2010 World Cup impact as his own template
Celta Vigo striker Borja Iglesias channels Fernando Llorente’s substitute role, aiming to replicate the 2010 breakthrough.
Borja Iglesias, the Celta de Vigo striker, has explicitly modeled his national team trajectory on Fernando Llorente’s 2010 World Cup campaign, viewing the former star’s super-sub role as the blueprint for his own impact. Speaking to DAZN, Iglesias lauded Llorente’s debut as a substitute, labeling it "fantastic," and made it clear he intends to replicate that specific brand of game-changing intervention for Spain. Llorente’s 2010 run was defined by two crucial goals off the bench, contributions that were instrumental in securing Spain’s first World Cup trophy.
