Castro aims for victory against RCD Espanyol
Luís Castro, Levante UD coach, has made it clear that the team's goal for the first LaLiga EA SPORTS match is to "beat RCD Espanyol". In the pre-match press conference on Sunday, Castro emphasized the importance of staying focused on the next game, as "you never know what will happen afterward".
How does Castro assess the team's preparation?
Castro expressed satisfaction with the work done during the preseason, despite changes in the squad. "The preseason has given good feelings, but we know we are not yet at one hundred percent of what we want", he admitted. The coach highlighted that the group is working well and assimilating the tactical principles, although there are still details to correct.
What does he say about the new signings?
The coach emphasized the integration of the new players and the team's experience. "A large part of the group has stayed. We have a squad that knows the club well and others who know LaLiga well. Everyone is very aware of the importance of what lies ahead", he stated.
How does Castro analyze RCD Espanyol?
Castro pointed out that RCD Espanyol has retained most of its squad and coaching staff, giving them an advantage. "They haven't changed much. They have kept practically all their players and the coach. It is a very competitive team that fought for big things at the beginning of last season", he explained. The team finished the 2025 season in tenth place in LaLiga, with 38 points, 10 wins, 8 draws, and 13 losses in 31 matches, with a recent form of LDLLD.
