Star Spain striker David Villa is confident that his side can recover from the shock of a 1-0 defeat to Switzerland in their opening game of the World Cup finals.

Spain entered the tournament as favourites, but their standing has been hit by a setback in Durban which Villa says will not alter the way his side play.

He told reporters: "We dominated possession and we were the better team, but this is football and not always the best team wins.

"We are aware that the tournament has only just begun. We would have preferred to have had everything going in our favour, but this is a World Cup and nothing is as easy as it seems.

"Nevertheless, we are convinced that we will go through to the next round.

"With this style of play, we have only lost two games. We need to continue to play the same.

"We are not going to change our style just because of this defeat. It has been down to our play that we have achieved success in the past."
