World Cup 2022: 'Without playing brilliantly, Spain gets into semi-finals' - Fabregas

Former Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas assesses his country's World Cup chances.

Fabregas, a veteran of three World Cup campaigns for Spain told 'World Football in Qatar' presenter Mani Djazmi that he doesn't share people's worries about a lack of goals in the team.

"You don't need to score many goals to win the World Cup. We won every game 1-0, and we lost the 1-0... we were very competitive. We defended well, which is key in a World Cup... and you need to know how to control games."

Spain will face Costa Rica, Germany and Japan in Group E at Qatar 2022.
