SAINT-MARTIN-DE-RE, France (AP) -- Spain is going to stick to its game of quick passing and ball possession. One game into the European Championship and it's obvious that the two-time defending champions are not changing their style despite their World Cup debacle two years ago, when the tiki-taka failed and Spain didn't make it past the group stage. When the team plays Turkey on Friday in Nice in its second Group D match, Spain will be using the same formula that worked to perfection when it won the last two European Championships and the 2010 World Cup - keeping control of the ball and being aggressive with the final pass near the opponent's goal.
