Press conference by Luís Castro on Arriaga, Carlos Álvarez, Villarreal ...
The Levante coach appeared before the media in the press conference prior to the match against Villarreal tomorrow, a postponed match from matchday 16.
Levante U. D.
Three matches in one week
You are going to play two days later and there are more tired players. It's normal. I'm sure we will field the best eleven for the match. There are normal changes, but we will go with the best options according to the training sessions to face Villarreal.
Kervin's suspension matches and if he has talked to him
The suspension I think is for two yellow cards, so it will be for one match. Kervin knows what he has done and has spoken with the staff and the players. It was necessary to keep a cool head. It's a mistake, but he knows it.
Relegation blow?
Who has that feeling? When I arrived, I said it was nonsense because they had been relegated. There are people who said it was impossible and that I was foolish to come. It wasn't my feeling that it was impossible. We have a higher average of points. If we are better than when we arrived, after playing against Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid, Bilbao, Sevilla... If we have a better average of points, why wouldn't I believe? I want those who believe like I do to be with me.
Bad feelings
I have fans telling me it's possible. I can't control what others think. Those who have spoken to me say the team is capable. If there are people who don't believe, I do. My job is to do the maximum until the last possible point.
Villarreal
We are not talking about the quality of the team. They have matches they don't win but hurt the opponents. In collective concepts, they are one of the best teams, with things we really like. How to stop them? To be very focused in every situation. Usually matches are decided due to lack of concentration. To play these matches you can't have good moments and others where you are not at a hundred percent. Villarreal will give us work, but they also have weaknesses. We have to be as collective as possible.
Tactical variations
The key lies in the dynamics of each system. You can play with different systems but be more offensive or defensive. The most important thing is the dynamics we must have, to know which spaces to attack, where we play the ball and if we play it to feet or into space. How to attack the spaces to create goal opportunities is where I focus the most. In the opponent's pressure, you have to see when to slip through, attack the back, play with the ball... If you don't have all the money in the world, you have to adapt to the players you have and they will adapt to the coach's concepts. Against Valencia, it was the worst match of the season, but you can't dwell on that having played well against the rest. You have fought against all the teams except one.
Carlos Álvarez
We are trying every week to work by taking some load off so that he arrives in the best possible shape for the matches. He has different characteristics and we work on positioning. He likes to have the ball a lot but sometimes he's not where he can do more damage. In Carlos's matches in Second Division and in the First Division, it's very clear that we are trying to make his positions more differential. The player has his characteristics and he really likes the ball. We are working with him to improve. We want him to give his best version because he can give his best version.
Controversy with Comert
I'm not going to talk about that anymore, but everyone has seen what happened. It's very clear why so much confusion has been generated. These are things I won't be able to control. We continue forward. My job is for the team to do things as best as possible.
