I don't say that to come across as a martyr but because I couldn't find the necessary motivation for the players," the Spaniard said.<br /><br />Del Bosque added: "We've had two serious warnings in two international matches which don't supply points or prestige." Del Bosque suggested the status of world champions "imposes more responsibility" on a team such as Spain.<br /><br />Despite the twin defeats to Argentina and Portugal Spain can take comfort from the fact that when they resume qualifying for Euro 2012 next year the defending European champions will do so as leaders of Group I after a maximum return from their opening three fixtures.
