Spain play at Wembley - Week 9 - The perfect ten

This weekend is an important one because in a fortnight there are no games (Spain play at Wembley). So you don't want to be training for two weeks under the cloud of a defeat, particularly at this delicate stage of the season. Delicate? Well, we've finally had ten games, and everything goes in tens. Players see the first ten as the settling-in period, and now they know that they have to get down to business.
