Spain winger Lucas Vazquez says there is no need for a "deep change" or "big transformation" in the La Roja squad, despite the nation's early exit from Euro 2016 being a second successive failure at a major tournament.
Vicente del Bosque's side were beaten 2-0 by Italy on Monday at the Stade de France, with a team still mostly based around players from their World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012 successes looking tired and off the pace -- just as they did at the World Cup in Brazil two years ago.
There has been no immediate reaction from the national team to the disappointment, with Del Bosque, 65, refusing to clarify his future plans and the squad returning back to Spain without any senior players making clear statements on their future.
But Real Madrid winger Vazquez, 24, who won just his second cap as a late substitute against Italy, told Cope radio show El Partido de las 12 that while two successive tournament failures was something to think about, it did not mean that a complete overhaul was now required.
"I don't believe a deep change is needed," Lucas Vazquez said. "It is clear that losing in the round of 16 -- and the first round of the World Cup -- has to be thought about. But the players are not old, so there is no need for such a big transformation.
"In the end it is two bad tournaments and that's that. We must reflect and learn from it. If you look through the teams there is nobody like us in Europe, which makes you even more annoyed. Now we must lift ourselves up, find more strength, more motivation and improve."
Del Bosque is expected to leave -- with the favourites to replace him including ex-Granada coach Joaquin Caparros and former Spain under-21 manager Julen Lopetegui.
Jose Antonio Camacho, 61, who was in charge of La Roja at Euro 2000 and the 2002 World Cup, has also been mentioned, despite him being sacked from his most recent job as China national team coach following a 1-5 defeat to Thailand in 2013.
Senior players including Iker Casillas, Andres Iniesta, David Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Sergio Ramos may also think about considering their futures.
Long-serving national captain Casillas spent the whole of Euro 2016 on the bench as back-up to Manchester United's David De Gea, but a tweet he posted may suggest that he has decided to call it a day.

But Ramos was the only one of that group to speak about his future after the Italy game, with the Real Madrid defender talking defiantly about "armchair critics" and saying he still had the motivation to continue.
