The 61-year-old trainer saw his charges rack up yet another victory but was unimpressed by the manner they disposed off Jose Antonio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/China-c8926.
Spain took on the challenge of China in their final international friendly before the European Championships, winning the fixture thanks to a http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Silva-c10601 goal.
La Roja could have added to their tally in the match-up with the Asian outfit but were undone on a number of occasions by a brilliant http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zeng-Cheng-c37902. The Chinese goalkeeper pulled off fantastic saves on either side of the interval to keep his team in the run
for a historic victory.
However, the resilience of Cheng wore off in the final ten minutes of the match. David Silva got on the end of an Andres Iniesta ball to slot home the eventual winner, continuing their winning run to the Euro 2012.
Despite the victory, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque was unhappy with the way his players performed on the pitch, bemoaning their slow approach to the game.
Del Bosque praised Jose Antonio Camacho and the work he has pulled off with the footballing minnows. The experienced trainer admitted that they were wary of the resilient attitude of their rivals but was caught napping on the counterattack.
"We were slower than usual, they left us little space and we were sluggish," the former Real Madrid player and coach said while talking to reporters after the international friendly in Seville.
"But we knew China would be a strong rival in the fight for the ball but they not only have defended well, they also fought back [on the counterattack].”
"But, in the second half, we played with more people in attack and they [China] were more weary."
There were positives to take from the match as Del Bosque saw the return of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048.
The 2010 FIFA World Cup winner was especially pleased with the stability provided by Busquets in midfield and praised him for his efforts on the pitch.
"I am very pleased with [Gerard] Pique, Xavi, Iniesta and especially [Sergio] Busquets."
