The Spanish head coach revealed that La Roja have no qualms at meeting a team in the final that they could have knocked out in the group stage.
Spain’s first match of Euro 2012 saw them lock horns with Cesare Prandelli’s Italy and as nature would have it, the final match of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 hosted event will pit the duo together for the prestigious title.
La Roja could have helped knock out their Euro 2012 final rivals in their last group match had they been willing to play out a 2-2 draw.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 Del Bosque was unfazed by such suggestions in a recent meeting with media representatives, stating that there are no feelings of regret in the Spanish camp.
The former Real Madrid tactician claimed that La Roja will repeat what they did in the past and will come out blazing against their rivals. He added that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 will remain true to their footballing philosophy.
However, when quizzed whether Spain remain favourites to lift the title on July 1st, Del Bosque gave a fifty-fifty answer. He remarked that the Euro 2008 winners have two days to prepare for the fixture and will decide on the best course of action
to pursue in the time allotted to them.
"We will never regret not having done a biscotto, not having sent Italy out," Del Bosque said while talking to
Onda Cero. "We did what we had to do.”
"We will play with our weapons and we will keep our playing style, but I would say it will be a 50-50 game.”
While quizzed whether the showpiece fixture will be a repeat of the their 1-1 draw at the PGE Arena, Del Bosque opined that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 will be a different team.
The witty tactician explained that the Azzurri have perfected their team over the course of the competition, while also praising the impressive defensive output by their team.
"I think Italy have found the perfect team," the 61-year-old said. "They have been very strong with a four-man defensive line."
"I think they will use the same team and the system from the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. We will not be conditioned by the first game, and neither will they.”
Euro 2012 final in Kiev is scheduled to kick off at 20 45 Central European Time.
