Johannesburg: Spain midfielder Sergio Busquets has told the press that his side are capable of stifling Netherlands Ballon d'Or candidate Wesley Sneijder in the 2010 World Cup final.
The 21-year-old, who has featured in every match for la Furia Roja in South Africa, knows that the Dutch playmaker poses a danger, but is confident the right tactics will subdue him.
"He's an amazing player," admitted the Barcelona man, according to sportal.tv.
"We must try to stop him all together, denying him time and space as we did to [Mesut] Oezil in the semi-finals against Germany.
"The Netherlands are counting on players like Sneijder and [Arjen] Robben and the way they affect the play. Once the right measures are taken these players will be easier to deal with. The attackers also play defensively, as we have done through this whole World cup, is the only way to win."
Earlier on Friday, Sneijder released a statement on Inter's official website underlying his ambition to win the trophy on Sunday.
