Management, players, and male and female coaching staff of Levante UD analyze the prospects of the new season after making the traditional offering to the Virgin of the Forsaken.
The squad and management of Levante UD fulfilled the traditional visit to the Basilica of the Virgin of the Forsaken this Tuesday to present flowers and make the annual offering. After the event, representatives of the men's first team, the women's team, and the president reviewed the current state of the club ahead of the start of the official competition, agreeing to focus on prudence, staying in the league, and the excitement of promotion as the main sporting goals for the new season.
Adrián de la Fuente, a player from the men's first team, was cautious about the new campaign starting next week, stating, “We have to start from the fact that last season, a lot of points were needed to stay up, and Levante UD achieved it and stayed up. This year will be the same. We will suffer, but we will fight to achieve it.” Despite this, the defender acknowledges that the group “will give everything as they did last year. They will try to bring the same joy as last year and will once again leave the club where it deserves to be.”
Meanwhile, Yoli Sierra, a player from the women's team, expressed her excitement about her first days as a Levante UD player: "from the moment I had the opportunity to come here, I approached it with great excitement." The Madrid-born defender assured that “the first weeks have been very exciting.” Additionally, she highlighted that everything is going “even beyond the expectations I had.”
Javi Aguado, the coach of Levante UD Femenino, evaluated the start of the preseason for Levante UD Femenino and reminded that next week the team will begin playing its first preparation matches. The coach also made it clear what the team's goal is: "we are not hiding the fact that we want to get promoted." However, he emphasized that daily work will determine the path throughout the season.
Finally, Pablo Sánchez, the president of Levante UD, stated that the only goal this season is to remain in the top category in Spain. "We have to value what we achieved last year. The goal again this year is to secure our place, enjoy the Ciutat, and for our fans, who supported us incredibly last season and have supported us again with a successful season ticket campaign, to give them everything possible and for them to enjoy every 15 days at the Ciutat once more."
