Restore confidence
David López believes that the team is going through a good time but warns that Levante "is a team with urgency"
The victory of last Tuesday, against R. Madrid, has acted as a balm in the Blue and Whites' dressing room. The three points added have increased the self-esteem of the costumes and have to serve to face this final of the championship with much more confidence and security. At least that's what the players confirm.
David Lopez, for example, assumes that "things have yet to be improved", that the team must regain confidence and that this Sunday's game, besides being important, "will not be easy because we are facing a team with urgencies, which He has not won for a long time. And those are the most dangerous and difficult matches".
He admits that he does not dare to predict "what we have to improve", but he is clear that the team shows a better version against powerful teams than against those who are in the bottom. "I do not think it's because of mentality or motivation, but something that has led us to make mistakes in some games".
He said that, at times, "we have believed that we are a worse team than we really are and we have fewer points than the quality of the workforce shows. That has caused us a decrease in confidence and that you are making mistakes. The other day's game, on the other hand, must be an important injection. Right now we are very confident and happy because he has won an important rival and knowing that it is a complicated league and that we have taken some trouble".
Stresses that the team maintains, for this final stretch of the championship, "the motivation intact and the desire to do the best possible. You all ask for Europe and the ambition and the costumes have a desire to fight for that, but a League has been created with seven or eight teams and the one who does the best will sneak in there. It will not be easy but we will try".
Finally, he points out that one of the recipes for Sunday's game is "not to make mistakes, not give them cause to come up and try to improve in the last phase of the game, when having possession or finding spaces".
