Vicente Del Bosque has said he will think through any changes he makes to the Spain side for their next World Cup encounter.
La Roja’s defence of the trophy got off to a woeful start on Friday with a 5-1 defeat by the Netherlands, leaving Spain’s progression out of Group B under threat.
Chile are the next opposition, fresh from a 3-1 win over Australia, with the game to come on Wednesday.
Del Bosque has hinted there will be changes to the XI, but he won’t be rash with them, he said at a Press conference.
“There may be some changes, but we will think about them,” AS has reported the Coach as saying.
“We don’t want to take hasty decisions. No change is to single any one out. This is a short tournament and we’re looking for the best solution.
“Normality is best, the same as when we win. It takes patience. Sport always gives you new opportunities and I would be the same in victory as in defeat.
“We were disorganised but it’s not the first time. It’s happened a few times, trying to do things too fast. It happened against Portugal and Argentina.
“I don’t worry about the mood of the players but the uniqueness of Chile. Their pressing is suicidal and must be combated. In some ways it’s the same as the Netherlands, but not others.”
Del Bosque touched on Iker Casillas and Diego Costa, revealing the former had held up his hands in the locker room and rejecting the suggestion the latter is affected by being booed by the Brazil crowds.
“I don’t think he is affected by the environment. The same thing happens in the sunshine of Spain. I think it motivates him,” he said of the Atletico Madrid striker.
“Casillas proved his leadership. When I got to the Press conference he was talking to everyone in a solemn silence and he took responsibility but laid the foundation for rehabilitation.
“It was a positive, nice and helpful speech.
“Last night I was angry inside, but there you go. This is sport. We haven’t done anything wrong and we have to go with our heads up.
“We knew what it meant to play Holland, no mistake. We knew we could have problems against them. We knew there was a constant threat in attack and balls behind our defence, but we didn’t address it.
“I prefer to stay with the first-half, when we controlled the ball. From 2-1, we were disorganised. We ended up so messy that we suffered a harsh punishment.”
