What They're Saying
Celta Vigo striker Joaquin Larrivey (via Inside Spanish Football): "They're [Levante] a team that are hurting a little, who have just changed their manager, which is always an additional motivation and stimulus for a squad. Right now, I see them as a very dangerous opponent. Hopefully, the reaction Levante are bound to make doesn't work out against us."
"They have some very good players," he added. "Given what they did last season, everyone will be expecting them to sit back and wait for the slightest chance to hit us on the counter. Whatever happens, it will be a difficult game and in La Liga. Anything can happen."
