Celades: Real Madrid are more solid in defence than they've been for some time Valencia The coach kept his cards close to his chest

Albert Celades praised Real Madrid's defensive improvement as he previewed Valencia's Supercopa de Espana semi-final against Los Blancos.

Valencia will take on the team from the Spanish capital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday night and Celades knows it'll be difficult to score.

"Real Madrid are more solid in defence than they've been for some time," the coach said during his pre-match press conference.

"Plus, they have so much talent in attack."

While Real Madrid are missing some players due to injury, so too are Valencia.

"We've had players missing for some time and we've adapted," he said.

"It's significant to be without Rodrigo Moreno for this one.

"But we have other options and we'll try to adapt again."

Celades wouldn't reveal exactly who'd come in for Rodrigo Moreno, nor would he state who'd be starting in goals.
