Levante: joy today, tomorrow's happiness

A year ago at this stage of the season with six games played, then leading Levante Luis García Plaza occupies the 17th position in the championship with five points from 18 possible. Had in their squad with players like Felipe Caicedo, the real man goal that was uncovered in all thirteen granota crucial goals that helped him stay in the First Division. In fact, throughout the past year, it was not until day 29 when they found out what it's like in the quiet of the table, that is, from the tenth position up. They were, specifically eight weeks in which the Levant enjoyed the peace that gives no apparent positions of danger.

Unfolded in that place one of the modest of our league until the last third, when he began a carburetor and have their parties on points. However, it is recalled in the Ciutat de Valencia a championship so encouraging start. But Luis Garcia, who opted for an ambitious proposal Getafe (today, 17 degrees) and without their striker par excellence, transferred to Lokomotiv Moscow (3 goals in 6 games), the Levant seems to have known rebuilt thanks to the good work of John Ignacio Martinez, a rookie in the highest category at 47 years and after many vicissitudes in the second division level and below has been given the opportunity of his career. For now, the advantage is knowing.

For the first time in its history, the Levant has added 14 points of 18 possible. Last year, without going any further, fans had to wait fourteen granota days to add the same number of points. That is why the interim leadership coliderato if Barcelona win against Sporting ends, requires a team without stars praise but capable of having already defeated Real Madrid and defeat the leader, a well deserved homage Betis. Juanlu has been precisely a exbético, author of the only goal of the victory of the Levant in the Benito Villamarin. A scenario complicated, difficult, and although the ranking would place them both at the top, it is precisely for this task by which they are rivals.

Thus, the joy that this lift lives today will become tomorrow if happiness at the end of the season Juan Ignacio and his pupils experienced players in his backpack as Ballesteros, Valdo, Juanlu himself, Barkero, Farina, Javi Venta, Nano, marked achieved the main goal since returning to First Division relegation. Points are now worth much, but at the end of the course, when the slope is really steep, worth double. Because it sounds rushed, and after four consecutive victories, the team from 'JIM' has a cushion of points on the decline of ten points. A great merit to be reckoned with, and enjoy. How great to be small!
