• Manager happy for 'insatiable' team not to hog the ball
• Zlatko Dalic apologises to fans for Croatia's 'bad show'

Luis de la Fuente apologised for arriving a little late at the post match press conference, explaining that he had encountered a "couple of roundabouts" on his way but insisted that his team had taken a direct route to victory over Croatia that shows that Spain have the versatility to "damage opponents in many different ways".

The coach of the selección also appealed for the country to finally recognise the talent of what he called a "brilliant generation" of "insatiable" players after three first-half goals were enough to defeat Croatia 3-0 in the opening game of Group B in Berlin.
