Spain could only muster a lacklustre 2-0 victory over Latvia at New Carlos Tartiere Stadium in Oviedo on Wednesday night in Euro 2008 qualifying Group F and Aragones was the target of home fan criticism.

Aragones, who was especially criticised for substituting local favourite David Villa early in the second half, failed to give a press conference after the game and speculation was rife he had quit.

There has also been recently denied rumours of a fall-out between Aragones and Fernando Torres after the Liverpool striker was substituted during the disappointing 1-1 draw with Iceland last weekend, but the Spanish football federation insist their coach is going nowhere

"Luis has said nothing about resigning. Simply, he didn't want to appear at the press conference," federation spokesman Jorge Carretero told Marca's website.

Spain midfielder David Albelda has also played down Aragones' refusal to talk to the press.

When asked if something had occurred in the changing rooms following the game, Valencia captain Albelda said: "Nothing has happened, we have won the game which is what we wanted and that is it."

Albelda also insisted nothing had been said about the possibility of Aragones resigning.

"No, we have not spoken of this, he has simply decided that he does not want to talk," he said.

However, Albelda has admitted the Spain camp was not happy with certain aspects surrounding the national team.

Without going into detail, he said in AS: "We have to be all on the side of the national team and row in the same direction, and it seems that we all do not want Spain to be in the European Championships.

"People (in the national team) in general are not happy with what is happening."

Albelda was also asked if there was a problem between the players and the press, to which the 30-year-old replied: "I'll only say that we have to change things or it will be more difficult for us (in the national team)."

Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas also insisted nothing out of the ordinary had happened after the match involving Aragones.

"Absolutely nothing has happened. I don't know how this all came about. He decided not to talk and that's it," said the Real Madrid custodian, who also denied there was a pact made among the players not to make any comments about the game against Latvia.

With regards to the support they get from the fans during home matches, Casillas said: "The environment is favourable. The people have supported the national team. Wherever we go, the public are with us."

Spain's victory over Latvia was their fifth win in their last six qualifying matches - the other being Saturday's 1-1 draw with Iceland - and saw them move level with Group F leaders Sweden on 19 points.

Spain, who have played a game more than Sweden, have three matches left - one away to Denmark on October 13, and then home fixtures against the Swedes and Northern Ireland.
