La Granotas finished the 2011/12 La Liga season in sixth place and have a dreamy Spanish top flight campaign on their hands with realistic ambitions.
For the first time in the history of Levante will they have qualified for a European competition. They take on the challenge of Scottish Premier League outfit, Motherwell, a club they can easily negotiate for a place in the group stage.
However, the objectives of the club are to continue their adventures in the Primera Division. Despite their achievements in the previous campaign which has given plenty of reason for optimism, Juan Ignacio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468’s team is aware of their enormous limitations
and the difficulty of reaching the threshold of the European places for the second consecutive year.
The club must reinvent themselves to adapt to the progress of star player, Arouna Kone. The acquisition from Sevilla follows in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Felipe-Caicedo-c13525, who joined the Valencian club before being offloaded for greater sums.
With Kone attracting the interest of Wigan and the deal all but certain to be completed before the end of the transfer window, it is the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bare-c7300 minimum.
Angel Rodriguez and Gekas have been linked with La Granotas, and will be given the chance to prove himself in the difficult mission to take the place of the Ivory Coast international.
Besides the veteran striker from the Greek islands, Juan Ignacio Martinez will have a squad to compete with their rivals. The technical secretariat led by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manolo-c23349 Salvador also has home to two sides, one on each flank.
On the left side dressed in Levantine will be Karampelas Nikos, as the manager adds him to their ranks in a bid to have a replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Juanfran-c19849 Garcia.
The right side will have German flanker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rios remaining in close proximity of the first team.
The midfield has remained virtually the same, while in their own half http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Ballesteros remains the leader, leaving the frontline their Achilles heel once again. Martinez needs a third striker and they need to get one before the start of the season.
