Valencia goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand says battling with Santiago Canizares to be first-choice is lifting his game.
"I think the best thing for the club is to have two quality goalkeepers. The team is better for it. I think it is good for me to fight, to improve my quality.
"The same happens with the Germany team. There's no doubt I have improved because of having to push myself to compete with other great goalkeepers. I've no problems at all with the competition."
