Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal says his side are not interested in eliminating Spain from the FIFA World Cup™ - they just want to win the whole thing.
The South Americans know that any result against the reigning world champions on Wednesday at Rio's Maracana would possibly be enough to send La Roja out of the competition.
But Vidal says the kudos that knocking out the champions would bring is irrelevant to ambitious players who genuinely believe they can conquer the world.
"We hope to play well against Spain, take the three points, and if we knock them out that would be great. But we didn't come here to knock out Spain, we came here to win the World Cup," he said.
However, the Juventus star expects there to be a reaction from Spain following their incredible 5-1 defeat by the Netherlands on the second day of the tournament.
