Levante forward, Roger Brugué, described the 0-2 defeat against Atlético de Madrid as a series of collective failures and highlighted the team's attitude after Saturday's game at the Ciutat de València. Brugué minimized the mistake of a teammate that opened the scoring for the rojillos and emphasized the importance of correcting mistakes within the team.
Brugué explained that the error that allowed Atlético's first goal was not an isolated individual failure, but a team failure. “They are mistakes, they must be corrected, we are a team, we all fail and the important thing is the attitude, which has been good,” he said in an exclusive interview for Movistar+. According to the striker, Levante's resilience was shown in the way the group responded to the rival's pressure, maintaining their composure despite the defeat.
Levante, who had enjoyed a good run before the match, were looking to consolidate their position in the table with a home victory. Brugué regretted that the team had not been more accurate in the opportunities that arose to force at least a draw. “We wanted to win again at home, where we were in a very good dynamic, we had some mistakes but we had a couple of very clear situations that would have put us right,” commented the player.
The striker stressed that, despite the failures, Levante showed solid performance on several occasions. “I think we have been good, let's continue and learn,” he concluded, indicating that the team must continue working on its weaknesses and take advantage of the opportunities that arise in the next games. In order to improve their position in the table, Levante will have to refine their collective game and capitalize on scoring opportunities in the upcoming matches.
