Del Bosque: No specific anti-Sneijder plan

Sneijder is joint-top scorer with Spain striker David Villa and Germany's Thomas Mueller in South Africa with five goals and his incisive distribution, ball-winning skills and long-range shooting have been a major reason for his team's successful run.

"We have faced other good players who play in that position," Del Bosque told a news conference at Soccer City.

"We have a very good midfield and they are very used to dealing with that kind of player," he added. "So no we don't have a specific plan to deal with Sneijder."

"I don't believe Holland will change their approach simply because they are playing Spain," he said.

"They have a very well-defined style, as do we. I certainly don't think they will change the script.

"We have a lot of options and various solutions for any problem that might arise."

"I can tell you that we have 23 excellent players (in the squad) and any of them could be on the pitch tomorrow," he said. "There is no problem as far as I am concerned."
