They can make a high press as they did in the first match in London, and we know that when they defend themselves, they are a very stable team and have players with serious individual qualities, no secret formula for success against such teamsthere is a clear plan because they are the team with the most counterattacks in the last roundd, `Valverde said.He commented on the health of Andres Iniesta and his eventual participation in the match.
