Spain have shown both brilliance and dogged teamwork in Athens where the experience of coach Maurits Hendriks is keeping the young side on an even keel.

"The team is at its best and can beat anyone, I'm convinced of that. We're not scared of anyone. We've come to win a medal," said Hendriks, who led the Netherlands to their 2000 title.
