Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta said should ignore external criticism, and showing confidence to play good football in the face of Chile.

Luis Aragones, the coach who gave to Spain the Euro 2008 title, criticized the tactics of choice of Vicente del Bosque as La Furia Roja defeated Switzerland 1-0. At that time David Villa Del Bosque played alone up front, and Spain could only dominate the midfield but could not score goals.

Del Bosque changing formations against Honduras, by installing Fernando Torres up front. The result, the Spanish won two goals without reply.

Spain is still projected to play with the same formation against Chile in Pretoria, on Friday.

"Everyone has the right menyatkan opinions, and give their views how this team plays," Iniesta said in a press conference before practice.

However, still according to Iniesta, Spain should not be thrown into a situation full of debates and hesitating choose the tactics and formations are played. Spain must be convinced of his ability, and opportunity of qualifying for the second half.

Spain should win this fight, no matter who will accompany him to the second round. If qualifying for the second round, Spain will face Brazil or Portugal.

Chile only need a draw, but the results may not be easily achieved. They Carlos Carmona lost quarterback and playmaker Matias Fernández.

Rodrigo Millar Carmona will likely fill the spot. Fernandez replaces Jorge Valdivia, and play behind Humberto Suazo - bald-headed striker who got injured again while Chile to face Switzerland.

Chile also will not change the style of play. They believe the best defense is attack, and make the opponent under pressure.

"We played with the same style since qualifying and friendly," Ponce kada. "That's the best way we win games."

Decent player Observed

Alexis Sanchez: If there best players to watch in camp Chile, may be just Alexis Sanchez. He seized the attention of anyone who comes into the stadium. But Sanchez, who is now estimated at many clubs, too self-absorbed. Sanchez is predicted to be a serious threat behind the line of Spain. Puyol and Pique may need to be alert throughout the game.

David Villa: He scored a sensational goal to Honduras, and many send the bait into the penalty box. His ability to tear her opponent's goal dubbed one of the best strikers on earth today. Chile Defence hard work certainly stop hanging around and shooting from inside the penalty box.
