Calleja pulls from the quarry to receive this afternoon in Andorra
Levante meets Andorra again in the Copa del Rey at the Ciutat de València (follow the game live on As.com). The Principality as a whole put Mehdi Nafti into question even more with a resounding defeat at the Estadi Nacional (3-1) that ended with the dismissal of the Franco-Tunisian coach the following day, after also falling against Racing. Since then, after two games led by sports director Felipe Miñambres, Javi Calleja took over the team and has yet to know defeat as a granota.
In the first round, the levantinistas forcefully imposed themselves on Olot (0-4), but this time they arrive very short of troops for the match. What’s more, Calleja, it will be difficult to form a time of guarantees without having to pull the hand of the subsidiary players. Jose Campaign join Roberto Soldado, Rober Ibáñez and Shkodran Mustafi on the casualty list. In addition, Charly Musonda definitely falls off the list despite exercising with the team in the previous one. His return is scheduled against Sporting, at the beginning of 2023.
Calleja bets on rotations in the Cup. females will face their second match in the granota goal, in their debut at the Ciutat de València. marc pubill Y Franchise point to the sides, while in the center of defense shutter Y Alex Munoz part with advantage over the youth squad carlos gimenez, who recorded 90 minutes of merit in his debut with the first team in Olot. The big doubt is in the center of the field, in which pablo martinez seems fixed Stonecutter points to the left wing. The rest is unknown. Above, everything points to that Wesley will share point of attack with Joni Montiel acting as a midfielder. In the League, the blaugrana accumulate four consecutive games without conceding and add 12 games without knowing defeat.
Andorra, for its part, wants to put the finishing touch to a dream 2022 by qualifying for one more round of the Cup. The tricolor team, which this year modified the historic promotion to professional football, is enjoying a course that, for now, they do not hesitate to classify as outstanding. Of course, Eder Sarabia’s men are not going through their best moment in terms of results. In the League they have accumulated four games without winning, the last victory was on November 28 in Ibiza, and they want to reverse the situation. At the game level it is another story because Andorra has not yet met a rival this season who has been able to discuss possession. The tricolors will not change their roadmap and, furthermore, they already know what it is like to beat Levante this season. Although on that occasion Nafti was on the granota bench and not Calleja who has a great relationship with Eder Sarabia. Both coincided in Juvenil A of Villarreal the 2012-13 season.
As for the team, the injured will not be there Marti Villa (he won’t play anymore this season), Alex Petxarroman Y Daniel Morer. Regarding the League, the novelty is that of Sinan Bakis, sanctioned against Tenerife, which will be the reference. He is the team’s top scorer, with seven goals, and one of Andorra’s great arguments to believe in victory. Sarabia, a lover of rotations, will shake up his starting team and the presence of players like Alenda, Watery, Ivan gil and christs. Wood to finish 2022 in the best possible way.
