Victor Valdes defends Vicente Del Bosque

Spain goalkeeper Victor Valdes defends the tactics of national team boss Vicente Del Bosque.

Spain goalkeeper Victor Valdes has leapt to the defence of national team boss Vicente Del Bosque after the 61-year-old came in for criticism.

Spain have been criticised for their playing style at Euro 2012 thus far, but the Barcelona stopper has backed the coach's tactical decisions.

"I do not understand the criticism targeted at the coach, nor do I share it. In football, things can go better or worse, but the results are there. I think the coach has got everything right since he took charge of the national team," he told reporters.

"He is calm and seeing how we are working to prepare for the matches. He wants to protect the group and make sure we keep doing things well and secure the results like we did at World Cup 2010."

Spain will face France in the Euro 2012 quarter-finals.
