After the hustle and bustle of the weekend, the world of football on Mondays is always so deserted. Surprisingly, He glanced at the schedule, and today there are sporadic 2 La Liga games, 1 Serie A and 1 Serie A. But one of the Relegation Battles in La Liga caught my attention.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > ask! Which La Liga team can remain unbeaten against the Madrid duo this season? Is it Barcelona? NO！ Is it Villarreal? NO！ NO！ Which team can score 2 goals and 3 real Madrid this season? Is it Royal Sociedad? Or Valencia? </h1>
The answer is – Levante! God is not magical! This team drew 2-2 with Atletico madrid 3-3, but it turned out to be unwinnable so far in the season, ranking second from the bottom in La Liga, which aroused my great interest, today we will study this amazing Levante team, and by the way, analyze their game against Granada today.
Levante is a club in the city of Valencia and they are not impressed compared to Valencia, which had a glorious period. In fact, last season I paid attention to Levante, except for facing Sevilla (losing 3-5 in the first leg of the season, it seems that Sevilla beat them), the other three finalists all lost key points on Levante. Atletico played back-to-back to Levante in the middle of the season, only to draw 1 and lose 1, losing 2-0 to break their unbeaten golden body. Real Madrid also did not take advantage of Levante with 1 win and 1 loss, and Barca were forced to draw by Levante in the crucial stage of the championship competition. However, although Levante likes tough teams, last season's results were not good, and the 41 points in 14th place was only a few rounds of relegation. This season Levante continued the characteristics of last season's like to fight against strong teams, the start was not winless, but almost overturned Real Madrid, the coach pakolopez who has been dismissed is actually loved by players and club executives in the local area, but the game is not taken, the fans put pressure on the club, resulting in Levante finally changing the coach before the 9th round. The new coach is not an outsider, it is the former coach of Henan in the Chinese Super League, Javier quickly came online with assistant coach Agustín Izquierdo and physical coach Gary Hall from Henan to join Levante, in addition, the newly retired veteran captain Pedro Lopez joined the team as a technical assistant. However, after Javier took office for two rounds, the team's nature was difficult to change 3-5 to Sevilla, 2-2 draw with Atletico. It is still 1 frontcourt and 2 backfield leaks. In the backline, young left-back Henrique Franksa was repeatedly the focus of his opponents' attacks. He debuted in Barca's youth training and previously played in La Liga, and is obviously not adapted enough to the competition in La Liga. Costa Rican mid-level Duarte is a La Liga star, the standard is above average, but his partner has not been sure, the Portuguese mid-position Vizzo who played in the last round was the main player at the beginning of the season, and once sent substitutes in the middle of the round, and returned to fighting the fire in the last round. Another midfielder, Roberto Peel, has recently been a starter and a substitute, and the players themselves are confused. It also shows that the team has no plan for the construction of the back line, always changing, and the players cannot find feelings between them, and the tacit understanding of the defense cannot be talked about. Now that the new coach Javier has come to the team, I am afraid that I will try a new combination again. In the midfield, Levante is quite methodical, scoring 5 goals in 2 games, North Macedonian champion Balsi is delicate in technology, but the physical confrontation is not very good, last round of atletico he scored 2 penalties and got the best in the game. The main striker Morales also scored twice against Sevilla. Coupled with the veteran Saldado, the team has a lot of offensive methods. He happened to have played in Granada before. I don't know if there is a chance to play in this game, against the old club.
Since its formation, Granada has been hovering in the lower league until 2011, when it reached La Liga. Italy's Pozzo family has taken over the club since 2009 and spent two years building the team to achieve its la Liga goals. In addition to Granada, the Pozzo family owns Serie A club Udinese and joined British club Watford in 2012. The Pozzo family's business model is known for its scouting system, excelling at developing young players within its own system and loaning players from several clubs to each other, during which time Granada had a good time. But the Pozzo family has been investing more in Watford since taking over, after all, Watford is in the Premier League, and the arms race is under a lot of pressure. So in the end, Pozzo transferred the club to Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang. Last season Granada performed well in The European Games, the league also successfully relegated, which brought some complacency to the team, the team last season scored 9 goals of the top scorer Sordardo transferred to Levante, Granada did not retain, until the start of the season rushed to find Colombian striker Barca, but this person is obviously out of form, so far this season 8 times 1 goal has not scored, plus Marchis and Suarez are in a sluggish state, the 3-man state on the attack line has not scored 1 goal so far.
And La Liga has always had an unwritten tradition that those middle and lower clubs who play European games often have to go through the subsequent downturn. Espanyol played European games while relegating, and the Super Raco and Zaragoza of that year had been separated from La Liga for many years. Getafe and Celta, who previously fought in Europe, are now rooted in the relegation zone. This rule seems to have found Granada this year.
Before this game, Levante changed coaches and drew 1 draw and 1 loss, still without a win. Granada went unbeaten in 3 rounds, with a upset victory over Sevilla and the team won two more draws. However, these two games granada were all draws in the last 90 minutes, and I don't believe their luck will always be with them. It's also time for Levante to win his first win of the season.
