Published: Wednesday 10 March 2010, 20.09CET
Per Mertesacker has identified David Villa as the man who poses the biggest threat to Werder Bremen's hopes of taking a positive result back to Germany from their UEFA Europa League round of 16 first leg against Valencia CF. "Villa is a very good player with great quality, pace and is very agile when one-on-one," said the defender. "Playing first here in Valencia and then at home is an advantage. Valencia are a very good team and especially strong at home but I think we can get a good result."
