He Women’s Levante will seek this Tuesday (7 pm) to qualify for the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Butarque (Leganés) against Atlético de Madrid, a rival that has outplayed the Blaugranas in this competition in recent years and on whom they will seek revenge.
Both Valencians and Madrid came to the event in an unmatched state. Both teams scored goals in the last league match against Villarreal (0-5) and Valencia (1-6) and Both qualified for the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Cup. Just one point in the F League standings separates Levante, who are second, from Atleti, who are fourth.
In the middle of this equality, the team of José Luis Sánchez Vera and the team of Manolo Cano will measure their strength. Although the Levante coach always avoids the word ‘revenge’, Levante will be looking to get theirs.
Atlético de Madrid won the final of the Spanish Super Cup in 2021 against the azulgranas, certainly with Sánchez Vera on the red-and-white bench, and in 2022 the Levantinistas also lost in the semifinals against the same rivals.
“Atleti are favorites on the poster, but this does not mean that they will play in the final. It will be a very close match that will be decided by the details. They have achieved a consistency that they did not have years ago , not only in the results, but also in the stakes. This is one of the teams that arrived in the best competitive situation, but it also coincides with one of our best moments,” warned Sánchez Vera this Monday in a press conference.
Midfielder Leire Baños agreed with his coach that the match, like in League F (1-1), will be very close.
“The tie is just one match and whatever happens. We need to reduce errors and give importance to the small details that often make the difference in these games. It will be no different from the League game, we will apply high pressure and try to win the ball. “We will do everything to win,” he said.
With goalkeeper Holmgren in doubt, who dropped from the starting eleven of the Copa de la Reina against Valencia at the last minute due to discomfort, and in the absence of the last training session in Ciudad Deportiva de Buñol, both players can play as starters in the Cup round of 16.
Levante’s eleven may consist of Tarazona; Silvia Lloris or Antonia Silva, Méndez, Mendoza, Paula Tomás; Ángela Sosa, Leire Baños, Paula Fernández, Andonova; Mayra Ramírez and Alba Redondo
