Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has no doubts over the temperament of Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa. Costa was jeered by Brazilian fans during Spain's thumping defeat against Holland.
"I don't think Diego Costa was affected by the atmosphere in the stands," Del Bosque said of the Brazil-born striker. "Spain are with him and he's motivated for being here.
"This team has a lot of pressure that could become suicidal to our chances, we have to perform to stop that pressure becoming overwhelming. We deserve the criticism, but we also deserve respect."
