Vicente del Bosque believes Spain is not in need of a major overhaul to turnaround their performance from the World Cup ahead of Euro 2016.

He told Perform: “Despite our defeat in Brazil I believe we don’t have to change many things to proceed. I do believe we’ll be closer to winning future tournaments.  

“When we first arrived, seven years ago, we already found a great generation with a brilliant future. We were very lucky to live this with them, having the chance of winning one World Cup and another Euros.

“On the other hand we experienced as well the taste of defeat six months ago.  To reach all this success many factors occur. Now when we have lost I have the feeling we haven’t done many different things as we did before.  But it is very difficult to keep these kind of good results forever.”

Xavi and Xabi Alonso have retired from international play and Spain is ushering in younger players.

He added: “We have done a few changes little by little as we did following our victories. We have noticed that these players [the youngsters coming in] are used to winning because they have done so since they were young in other age categories.”
