Vicente del Bosque: 'No need for a revolution'

By , Rugby Editor
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque insists that there is no need to make sweeping changes to his side following their thrashing by the Netherlands at the World Cup.

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has claimed that there is no need to make sweeping changes to his side following their 5-1 thrashing by the Netherlands at the World Cup.

The defending champions were humiliated by the Dutch on Friday night as their campaign started with a resounding defeat.

Despite widespread shock at the result, Del Bosque has insisted that his players need to stay level-headed if they want to get out of the group.

"There is no need for a revolution. We did not win but we will move on and try to win the next game," he told SporTV. "This is a very delicate moment for us. We must all try to resolve this, beat Chile, and move on from there."

Spain return to action on Wednesday, when they face Chile in Rio de Janeiro.
