We have not played badly, but we have been unable to overcome an orderly defence," Del Bosque told reporters. "We appreciate what they did defensively.  "[But] we have an exciting challenge ahead and this result should not derail us. "We face the European Championship with all the enthusiasm and without a trace of fear… Nothing changes." Del Bosque, who opted to rest striker Alvaro Morata heading into Spain's opening Euro 2016 match against the Czechs on June 13, added: "The first half we played with many people behind the ball.  "We reacted in the second half and [Andres] Iniesta was more effective. We better understood the game but lacked finish [in front of goal]."</blockquote>
