Spain coach Xavi Arnau Thursday said a strong defence and fast attack may lead them to victory against France in the Hockey Junior World Cup which kicks off at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium here Friday.
"With just a few hours left for the matches to begin, we are working on the coordination and bonding among the players and addressing all their concerns that could help them with the game," said Arnau.
"France no doubt are a strong team and during the practice sessions we have witnessed the excellent skills which the young boys possess. We have made our players work on the defence part of the game aggressively as strong defence and fast attack may lead us to victory."
Spain will play against France Friday.
