Vicente del Bosque has denied Spain have received an easy
route through to the knock-out rounds of Euro 2016.
The holders were pitted against Czech Republic, Turkey and
Croatia in Saturday's draw in Paris, with their opening game
scheduled for June 13 against Pavel Vrba's men in Toulouse.
Del Bosque believes the extended tournament next year, which
sees 24 teams compete, makes the whole group stage difficult
to call.
"We have to give value to the opponents.," he said. "Croatia are
very familiar to everyone, they're a great team. We have to do
our best, to choose the best and we go for our third European
title. It's a difficult group.
"I don't see any comfortable group. When we start to play I will
tell you [if there is a group of death].
"It's a longer and more difficult tournament."
Spain are looking to become the first side to win three
consecutive European Championships, with Del Bosque seeking
his second triumph as coach.
