He said: “In my opinion they have a very nice game plan. They have played with each other for a very long time so it is almost as if before the ball gets there they know where to move, what rotation to do.

“As an opponent that is quite difficult to play again. I have a strong belief in consistency – the longer you can play with that teammate you know what he prefers, how he moves.

“So, if you have had that for a long time like they have had you become better and better and for us harder and harder to play against.”
