Luis Enrique has defended his side's style of play after Spain's shock defeat in their final group game against Japan at the World Cup.
After thrashing Costa Rica in their opening match, and then playing out an entertaining draw with Germany, Spain were expected to pick up three points against Japan to wrap up top spot in Group E.
La Roja took the lead in the first half, but then conceded two goals in quick succession after the break to fall behind, and struggled to create chances to get back into the game. Spain have been criticised for their lack of cutting edge, but Enrique has hit back at his team's doubters ahead of their last-16 clash with Morocco on Tuesday.
