Javi Aguado spoke ahead of the match that Levante UD will play this Wednesday, when they host Alhama CF in the Second Round of the Copa de SM la Reina.

The league victory against Sport Extremadura has allowed the granota team to regain energy and approach the cup match with good feelings: "The team has a different joy these past two days. Correcting with a victory is always much more rewarding, and it’s important to get three points, especially to make ourselves strong at home." The schedule has forced Javi Aguado to manage the players' minutes, although the squad's response has been positive. "Everyone is playing well, we spend many hours here together, everyone is performing well when it’s their turn, and it’s also a joy as a coach to have so many people engaged because looking ahead, everyone will be important," explained the coach from Alicante.

Both teams have faced each other twice recently, both times in Murcia. Now, with Buñol as the stage and in a single-elimination match, the granota coach expects to see a very different game from his team: "We know it’s going to be a battle, it’s going to be a match like what it is, a Copa de la Reina match, a single-elimination game, and it will surely be decided by small details."
