Tactical analysis: high press as the foundation of success ⚽

The key for Levante in this match was the suffocating pressure in the opponent's half, which neutralized Mallorca's ball buildup. The midfield, with a very hardworking double pivot, recovered multiple balls in dangerous areas. Quick transitions and width on the flanks created goal-scoring opportunities. The team knew how to read the moments of the match, alternating intensity with possession control when necessary. A system that is yielding results.

The miracle of the streak, or how to stop looking at the calculator 🧮

With three consecutive wins, Levante seems to have forgotten that a month ago they were in the relegation zone. Now fans no longer need a calculator to add up points, but to count the matchdays left until mathematical survival. Something has changed in the locker room; perhaps the water from the clay jug or a new chant from the stands. Meanwhile, direct rivals look with envy at the team that resurrected just in time.
