Spain U21 boss Denia eyes fine margins ahead of Italy clash

Spain U21 coach Santi Denia declared he wouldn't 'take a draw' against Italy, despite it guaranteeing top spot in their Euro U21 group, and affirmed that "the objective is to win" and not to settle for any other result.

"The objective is to keep improving the team, the message, and to win the match against Italy U21," he told a press conference.

He also declined to discuss whether he would prefer to stay in Bratislava - should they finish top - or avoid a potential meeting with Germany in the quarter-finals.

"The things that don't depend on us, you learn to study them when they come. We are focused on tomorrow's game and on getting the win," he said.

Santi Denia insisted in his speech of improving "the small details" to advance in a tournament in which they have already secured a place in the quarter-finals.

"We have to improve on the details. These championships are decided by a metre, by an inch, by very little. We have six points, but we won it by the narrowest of margins. Now the plan is to improve because tomorrow we have a totally different match and we will have to play the perfect game to beat them," he said.
