MADRID, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Spain coach Luis Aragones said on Friday that the team needs to improve its tactics before the World Cup soccer finals begins on June 9 in Germany.

    Every player has made one error or another in training, Aragones told a press conference. "We have to move swiftly, especially in tactics, because we have very little time... We need to swifter in robbing the ball back, if we lose control, and to unite when we are in an inferior position."

    He said that last week's training was full of hope and enthusiasm, and that the team would try a variety of strategies against Russia, on Saturday in Albacete: the team's first friendly in the run-up to the World Cup.

    "The friendly will allow us to see how we need to work together, and also give us experience of a rival which is very similar to Ukraine," Aragones said. "It will be a benchmark and winning will be very important," he said.

    Aragones also said he preferred not to meet Brazil in the quarter-finals if Spain makes it through the group stage.

    "I love Brazil's football, and (the country) is practically my favorite (to win). But if I have to face the team, I will have to face them with the idea that in five European World Cups they have only won once," he said.

    Spain has never won a world Cup, but Brazil has won five times: in Sweden in 1958, in Chile in 1962, in Mexico in 1970, in the United States in 1994 and in 2002 World Cup co-hosted by Japan and South Korea. Enditem
