Madrid: Atletico Madrid's 22-year-old midfielder Jesus Resurreccion 'Koke' admits that when as a boy he watched the World Cup on TV, he thought it would be "impossible" to play in the tournament, but now he could play a major role in Spain's defence of their World title.

Koke showed during Spain's 2-0 win over El Salvador in their final warm up game ahead of kicking off their title defence against Holland Friday that he can cover perfectly for Xavi Hernandez in central midfield, reports Xinhua.
