Valencia coach Baraja: Simeone an example to us all

Valencia coach Ruben Baraja is ready to test himself against Atletico Madrid rival Diego Simeone.

Valencia's final game before the international break is in Madrid.

Baraja said of Simeone, "He is an example when it comes to seeing how a team captures what a coach wants on the pitch. Since he took over at Atletico Madrid they have been a strong team defensively, who are also good in attack.

"It is difficult to score against them. Continuity is also very important. Hopefully that is something that we can see at Valencia CF. For us this is a challenge and we want to go there and be able to do the things that we have prepared for the game.

"They are a magnificent team that are playing at home, but we will have our chances."
