Honduras coach Reinaldo Rueda wants his side to match the determination and conviction Switzerland showed in beating Spain when his team meet the European champions tonight. Tactically Rueda cannot see too many similarities between his team and Switzerland, and believes heart and desire must be balanced with a "smart and intelligent" approach against Vicente Del Bosque's men.
Like Spain, Honduras lost their opening match to Chile and for that reason Colombian coach Rueda insists it will not do any good to simply sit back and try to absorb waves of Spanish pressure. He said: "We know we have to be smart and intelligent and it will depend on our ability to keep the ball.
"All matches are very different, we are not like the Swiss at all. But the vital factors in that game - determination, conviction, good order and the Swiss will to fight on - we should take into account to counteract Spain's enormous ability on the pitch. What we want to do is improve on our performance against Chile and counteract Spain's strengths."
