Brasilia: Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld believes his side are better, more creative and more attacking than four years ago when they stunned eventual World Cup winners Spain. <img title="Ottmar Hitzfeld" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/images/2014/aug/15Ottmar-Hitzfeld-1.jpg" alt="Ottmar Hitzfeld" /> Ottmar Hitzfeld&nbsp;
Hitzfeld, the 65-year-old former coach of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, begins his Group E campaign against Ecuador today before his side face France and Honduras.
The veteran boss believes a place in the last 16 is within his team's grasp, which would compensate for a first round exit in South Africa in 2010 despite their famous 1-0 win over the Spaniards.
"My dream is to get to the second round and then we can dream of going further," said Hitzfeld on Saturday.
"We started a transition four years ago, we have rejuvenated the group of experienced players," said Hitzfeld. "The team are better, more attacking, more creative with better organisation than in 2010."
