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
Velasquez analyzes two of his most controversial plays A penalty for handball by Amorebieta in the match was not signaled and not reviewed by VAR. Entrance to Michael Mesa It could have been a red card. “In either case, it happens and it limits you, but it’s no excuse.”
The Real Zaragoza coach stressed that against Levante they must try to avoid a repeat of the start of the game as they did against Amorebieta, and also emphasized “the team’s ability to react in order to score points.”
Zaragoza’s coach explained that they approached every game with “the utmost enthusiasm and professionalism” to give their best version and were optimistic about the future.
“We are on the right track, growing and evolving, and we are in a position to win games.”

Former F1 pilot: “Look, everyone has already forgotten about him. Only a month has passed”
Former Formula 1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes that it will be extremely difficult for Yuki Tsunoda to return to the royal motorsport.
The Japanese driver joined Red Bull at the start of 2025, replacing Liam Lawson after two races. Even though he performed better than his predecessor, the team decided to replace him and there was no place for Tsunoda in the youth team.
In five years in Formula One, Tsunoda has competed in more than 100 Grands Prix. His best result was fourth at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He failed to score a single podium or victory despite having several prize chances, but neither the team nor the driver realized these.
Montoya believes that Yuki is forgotten by almost all teams today:
“Look how sad Formula 1 is. Nobody even thinks about Yuki anymore. It’s only been a month and a week since the last race and Yuki is no longer on anyone’s radar. That’s the reality of this sport. One day you’re a hero, the next day you’re a nobody. When you’re a hero, you have to take advantage of that opportunity.”

Max Verstappen has said he does not pay much attention to rumors that some teams may have possible technical advantages in their new Formula 1 power units.
It has recently been claimed that Mercedes and Red Bull have found a way to further increase engine power, while other teams are trying to eliminate this possible advantage. The FIA will meet with power unit manufacturers on January 22 to discuss the issue before the season starts.
Rumor has it that such optimization could produce around 15 hp, which is a significant figure at the beginning of a new era in technical regulations.
When asked whether Red Bull had an advantage in the pre-season, Verstappen replied:
“It’s impossible to know. Everyone is trying to do the best they can and I, especially me, have to focus on driving the car. I’m not here to be an engine engineer and explain all the details. Ultimately, this is a matter between the FIA and the engine manufacturers. I drive the car and I believe we always do everything we can to get the best out of the engine.”

Red Bull Formula 1 team president Laurent Mekies believes the Bulls will be behind their rivals at the start of the 2026 season, given the production of their engines and new aerodynamic rules.
“We know it will be difficult for us, especially at the beginning of the season. I think we will fall behind our rivals, but we need to hold on for a few more months.”
“I hope we come back to the top, but it would be naive to think that Red Bull will be ahead right away. We will be behind at the start,” said Mekis.
Bulls will produce its engines in collaboration with Ford from 2026.
