Vicente Del Bosque analysed his team's opponents at an earlier press conference: "Belarus know how to attack and have pacey, wide players. It won't be an easy game".

The Spain boss, who is about to complete with 100th game in charge, added: "If I had to choose one game from my time in charge, it would be the World Cup final against Holland".

On Barça player Pedro, Del Bosque said: "He's always been effective for us. We have total faith in him. He will probably play tomorrow".

He then went on to praise Cesc: "He's one of our best players. He's also a goal-scorer and has proven so in his 96 games".

The Spain coach is fully committed to 'La Roja': "I'm very comfortable with the national team. I feel at home and excited about the job I have ahead of me".
