"I've been working hard, but at the end of the day it's the coach who decides, not me," said Reyes, who has had to watch while fellow Arsenal team-mate Cesc Fabregas turned in a match winning performance - setting up two of the goals - in the 3-1 win over Tunisia.

"But I hope to do enough to show the boss that I'm worth being included for more matches."

With a second round knockout clash against the runner-up in Group G, in which France, Korea and Switzerland are all vying for the top two places, Spain know the level of competition is about to step up.

Reyes plays at Arsenal with Thierry Henry, but he claims it was still too soon to be dissecting videos of the Frenchman in action.

"For the moment we are concentrating on the match against the Saudis. Maybe afterwards we will start to look at videos of France," he said.

France, who sit third in Group G on two points, face already eliminated Togo in a bid to finish first or second.

Group leaders Switzerland, who like second-placed

South Korea have four points, face each other in what should be a nail-biting encounter.

Spain for the moment have no idea who they will be playing, although the general feeling in Spain is that it could be France.

Salgado however said they are ready for any opponent.

"France are a good side, but if we have serious aspirations to win the World Cup then we have to go out and beat all the big teams.

"It will be hard, but we have to have confidence in what this team can do."
