Rehhagel wants strong finish

Coach Otto Rehhagel has challenged his players to restore pride in Greek football by signing off their campaign with a victory over Spain on Wednesday.
The defending champions have already been eliminated from Euro 2008 after two Group D defeats to Sweden and Russia.
However, they have the chance to go out on a high when they take on a much-changed and already-qualified Spain side in Salzburg.
"It's my intention, and I've told my team the same, to play at 100 per cent, not to hold back," said Rehhagel, who has been assured that his job is safe despite Greece's early exit from the tournament.
"We must finish the tournament in a way that is worthy of our team.
"The new faces who will come into the line-up will have to show they deserve to play for the national team."
