Barcelona coach Luis Enrique: Valencia transformed under Neville

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique feels Copa del Rey opponents Valencia have changed under Gary Neville.

Neville is under pressure after a stroppy media conference this week.

"There will be some variation with respect to the era before, of Nuno, now they like to press. It's a team with outstanding technical ability and I'm sure that it will be a tricky tie for both sides," explained Enrique.

The Asturian says his team should still tackle the game in the same way though, something that go them to where they are.

"We'd prefer to face them as we always do. To go to this game and win this game, whatever happens, we go to win this game. That's what we've done in this season and a half [I've been in charge] and it's the way we try to avoid the difficulties we are sure to face.

"It's another competition. In the other game they played on the counter-attack clearly, and we can see the things that make them different with Neville. The pressure is different than with Nuno."
