We are responding to his methods and, while there is a lot of football to be played, I feel as though everyone has a positive feeling." Barca have now claimed 13 consecutive league victories stretching back to last season and Valverde insists their fine form belongs as much to their work ethic as the performances of individual stars. "The spirit in this team is excellent," the former Athletic Bilbao boss said at his post-match press conference. "We are trying to be together in both attack and defence. What I most like about this team is that they are programmed to work hard."</blockquote>
