Velasquez: “We have to make Levante uncomfortable”

coach of Real Zaragoza, Julio Velasquez, He suggested that Valencia’s team will have to be made “uncomfortable” against Levante next Wednesday.

“I value understanding the type of game the team has to play. Rivals are unpleasant That puts us in a position to win,” he said at a press conference.

The “Blanquillos” coach explained that a win ahead of the Christmas break would be “fantastic” due to the fact that he could do it at home and in front of his own fans.

“Going into the Christmas break with a victory against an important team is not the same as going into the Christmas break with a different result,” stressed the Aragon team coach.

He also believes that last Sunday’s draw at Amorebieta Field is not a step backwards.

“It was a top-class game. They were comfortable in the first few minutes while we weren’t adjusting. We didn’t get in very well and had to readjust. In the second half we were in a much better position. “We got better and got to the point where we could have won or lost,” he analyzed.

In this regard, he added that a positive aspect was that the team had the ability to resolve the situation in a difficult situation.

“It wasn’t a game that I enjoyed or felt comfortable in. We were looking for a win, but in this type of game where you’re deadlocked from the beginning, it’s better not to lose. And now against Levante, it’s important to win,” he said. Told.apostilled
