Del Bosque fails to hide frustration at Spain draws

Vicente del Bosque failed to hide his frustration at another lacklustre Spain draw, claiming his side were lacking in all areas against Romania.

Spain were off colour as the game finished goalless in Cluj, a result that followed an underwhelming showing in a 1-1 against Italy on Thursday, leaving head coach Del Bosque with much to ponder ahead their defence of the European Championship, which starts in a little over two months.

"I'm not happy at all following two draws from my team," he said.

"We lacked everything, in all areas. I tried to win the game by making changes, but it did not change anything.

"Romania have played a very good match. They did not let us play our football, they are a good side."

"The feeling we have is one of annoyance because we did not win," he said. "But we will improve in the tournament.

"We are a good group and we'll be fine."
