Meeting Highlights…ABOUT MATCH
We have to do a job similar to that of Barça. Strong, aggressive pressure, going after them. We are going to have moments in which we have the ball and Villarreal is waiting for us in a low block to go on the counterattack. For me Gerard is the key player, if he comes into play the team notices it a lot.
…OPPONENT
We are entering a very important month against rivals with whom we are fighting. Villarreal is not a rival that we counted on at the beginning, but it is there. If we win, we leave it at 5. Everything that involves adding is good, if it is winning, even better. Marcelino is leaving his mark, on the counterattack they are lethal. They have a lot of speed, we have to be very prepared in our surveillance so that they don't hurt us on the counterattack.
…LACK OF WIN
We have Carlos Vicente and Kike García. They can play perfectly, but in their positions there are players who are doing very well. Tenaglia has a muscle problem. He won't be there tomorrow, probably against Betis either.

Ruben Baraja
Manager on Valencia…INJURY REPORT
At the moment the feelings are positive, but we cannot have a deadline. It will be his feeling and his development in these weeks. Diego has quite good feelings, in the end it is how he finds himself with the mask. The same with André, his feelings will set dates for us.
…OPPONENT
They are going to demand the maximum from us, every duel is going to be tough, every situation... we need our maximum concentration. The really complicated thing for young players is to have continuity in performance, and they will always have peaks.
…JAVI GUERRA
We can see him in many positions, in the double pivot, ten... the important thing is that the player is comfortable. It is my responsibility that he returns to his best level.
