The veteran tactician has alarmed his men ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Georgia in Tbilisi.
Spanish national team's head coach, Vicente Del Bosque, voiced his opinion regarding the FIFA World Cup 2014 qualifiers, stating that the start of the qualification campaign will mark the start of their defence of the title which they secured in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757
in 2010.
According to FIFA’s laws, World champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, will have to go through the qualifiers for a place in the 2014 World Cup taking place in Brazil.
La Furia Roja were drawn in Group I alongside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belarus-c2849 in the qualifiers from the European confederation.
Since their inability to be eligible will deny the Spaniards a chance to defend their crown, their manager is ready to treat the qualifying stage as part of the prestigious competition’s normal fixtures.
Reflecting on the situation, Del Bosque stressed that La Roja need to maintain focus as long as a spot in the World Cup is not guaranteed. According to the former Real Madrid boss, other teams from around the world can afford a slip but Spain do not as they
are the reigning champions of the world.
"The World Cup does not start in 2014, but now, here against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. The players know that we are starting a tough qualification phase, where we cannot afford
to be complacent because a mistake could be a problem," http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque was quoted as saying while talking to reporters.
Spain will travel away from home in order to lock horns with Georgia on Tuesday. Bookmakers and critics are adamant that the Iberian giants will have no difficulty in making it to the grandest stage of the beautiful sport.
