Levante is defeated and lose a golden opportunity against Hannover

Last update 16 November, 2012 by Alberto Llopis

The Levante arrived in Germany on the second day of the Liguilla of Groups of the Europa League, within a dream season for the granota team to face a real bone, el Hanover 96. The German painting, one of the toughest teams in the Bundesliga, He was waiting for JIM's men in his charming stadium, and I made it as a favorite. Levante with many substitutes in its starting eleven in view of next Sunday's derby against Valencia.

JIM's team started as always, crouching behind and trying to hunt his rival against him, On the contrary, the Germans, They came out in a rush showing why they were the favorites in the game.. Konan was already going to shoot at the side of Keylor Navas' net, what was going to be about to surprise the Costa Rican goalkeeper.

However, It was going to be the Valencia team, the one who was going to hit first. WHAT IS ME PEDRO R R R Ríos for Gekas, that was going to be blocked by a German defender. Clear penalty and somewhat harsh expulsion of the Hannover defender, maybe a yellow card would have been enough.

The penalty was going to be taken by Michel to give Levante the lead in the minute 10. However with one more, Levante backed down, leaving a lot of room for Hannover that even with one less player was going to take over the first half.

With JIM's team being very imprecise and unable to make three passes in a row, Hannover was going to easily reach Keylor Navas' area. The somewhat unfortunate referee was going to forgive a clear penalty from Hector Rodas, the best in Levante by the way. Minutes later he was not going to forgive another clear penalty from Iborra, this time by hand, fortunately for the granotas, the braid was going to forgive the yellow card for Iborra. Local star Hustzy launches and goal, empathize with one.

From here to the end of the first part, the game script was not going to change much. Hannover dominating despite having one less man and Levante trying to move forward with many difficulties, to keep the ball or make a play.

At the end of the first half it was going to be tied 1, but with the feeling that Hannover with one less was being better. At the beginning of the second part, the script remained the same, dominance of Hannover and inaccuracies of a Levante that was missing a golden opportunity to make another mistake.

A few minutes after starting the second part, in an unfortunate play and after several rebounds, Konan was already going to score the second in legal but very fair position. A jug of cold water for Levante who saw how with one more they were losing a game that they had very much in mind from the minute 10.

Hannover was going to delay its lines to tie up the game and go on the counterattack, which would allow Levante to advance theirs. Gekas was going to miss a clear header chance that could have been the 2-2.

It took JIM to make the changes, Angel went out onto the field and Rubén Garcia sang, In the end, the best of Levante in the few minutes he played. Precisely, The latter was going to invent a luxury pass for Pedro Ríos in the last minute that could have meant the tie but that the player missed..

Hannover won the game with all justice before the disappointment of Levante, I could have done more, having played 80 minutes with one more player on the field. JIM will have to work hard to right a ship that is adrift and that bears little resemblance to the team that last season gently killed its rivals..
