Last season, Levante amazed all Spanish football fans, finishing the season at the top of the table, qualifying even for European competition, where the granota team is immersed.
Above all, he was amazed by his way of playing, with the knife between the teeth, giving every last drop of sweat on the grass. With quality players too, the granota team was capable of winning any match, against any opponent, knocking down Real Madrid and putting Barcelona on the ropes.
coach jim, a man who despite success, He did not manage to win over the granota fans or according to what they say to people from the same club. So rare was the situation that even, the squad left him out of the distribution of the bonus for playing in Europe. Even so, naturally due to the success, The coach continued to lead the team and his salary was improved.
In any stadium they visited, the rivals knew that at least they were going to have to suffer to beat the granota team. Under the excuse of being the most budget in the First Division, many things can be argued, pero lo cierto que ese “San Benito” that when it comes to rolling the ball it matters very little, it was also carried last season and the granota team made whoever it was suffer.
The truth is that this year the situation is not bad and it is still early, being unbeaten in Europe and having won almost all the points at home, but it is also true that the two victories in the League have been in the last minutes and after coming back from the game. Away from home, they have lost all three games they have played and have conceded a whopping nine goals.
The assessment is the tremendous loss of identity of a team that seems to have lost the claw that characterized it, The struggle, the ability to embarrass a rival but above all humility. With some players out of shape, what should worry the most is JIM's zero capacity for self-criticism, unable to correct their mistakes and influence them one after another.
It is clear that nothing happens, but what is even clearer is that Levante has lost its identity and when a team loses its identity it does not usually end well, there is time and it can be corrected, but if it does not return to that path, they could get in trouble.
