Gerard Pique insists that Spain will remain true to their passing game against France and will not resort to "knocking long balls into the box".

Spain international defender Gerard Pique has insisted that his side will not change their style of football against France in their World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

The Barcelona centre-back says that La Furia Roja will continue to play their passing game against their Group I opponent at Stade de France despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Finland at home on Friday.

"We did not play badly against Finland, but we should have created more goal chances," he told radio station COPE.

"We have our style of play but, at 1-0 in our favour, maybe we should have used our heads a bit more.

"The idea does not change in Paris. We could start knocking long balls into the box and maybe win that way, but that is not our style. I would not be proud of that."

Spain will head into the match two points behind France in second place in the group.
