ball clearly great
It wasn't a great game, but we had more chances, more of the ball and we were clearly the better side.
advantage african although coast cup good hope ivory played players spain team
Ivory Coast is a good team and has an advantage because it's just played the African Cup final. Although Spain hasn't played for a while, I hope the players can put on a good display.
finished second teams three
The three teams are complicated. They've finished second so they must be. All three are dangerous.
anxiety four left line occasions overlap wing
There was too much anxiety, hastiness and disorganization. There were occasions when we had four forwards all in a line and that's no good. On the left wing we didn't overlap enough.
hard next possible prepare work
Now it's official, we're in the World Cup. It's now down to us to work as hard as possible to prepare for next year.

On paper they are inferior to us so our aim is to score as many goals as possible so that we don't lose out to our rivals on goal difference.
level resistance
However, he has at the level of resistance that we need.
blow confess minutes played threw
I have to confess I am worried. We played well up to 65 minutes and then there was that extraordinary blow which threw us off-balance.
coach fact game
This game is the most important for me as the coach of Spain. In fact probably ever,
approach difficult direct maybe opponents paper strong
On paper Lithuania are maybe not that strong technically, but they make up for that a direct approach and they will be very difficult opponents especially when they play at home.
cold convinced good powerful problem slovakia spain state
We'll have the problem of the cold and the state of the field, but I'm convinced we can win. Slovakia is a good team. But when Spain does things right it's a powerful team.
ability both essential goals superior sure technical terms win
What's essential is to win. And if it's by two goals, that's better than one. And if it's by three, even better. I think we're superior in terms of our technical ability and we have to use this to make sure of victory. I think we can win both here and there. I'm sure we'll be in Germany.
finish together
We're all packed together but I still think we'll finish in first place because we're the best.
