Levante coach Luis Castro: A point from 0-0 away draw with Malaga is not a bad result

Levante coach Luis Castro said that earning a point from a 0-0 away draw with Malaga was not a bad result.

At the post-match press conference, Castro said: “They were better in the final minutes, while we had the advantage at the start of the second half. The number of shots was the same for both sides, and we even had more. We knew Malaga were a good team and played well, so getting one point is not a bad result.”

Speaking about the match process, Castro said: “We started well and had a very good chance in the first minute. Later, Nacho Perez also had an opportunity from a corner attack, and Brugui had one or two chances that he would normally be able to take. In the final stages of the match, Malaga relied more on their fighting spirit. I knew they would give more today.”

Castro added: “Malaga changed their starting lineup, and we knew they might use different pressing methods. We tried to apply pressure and control possession. Considering the chances created by both teams and the periods when each side controlled the game, this result is good.”

Regarding the referee, Castro said: “Some referees can communicate, while some cannot. But I respect them. They can also make mistakes, and there is not much we can say.”

Regarding the debuts of two new signings, Castro said that Yanis Musuah is still adapting to the intensity of the league, but has performed well in training. He also said: “Dani Requena did what we asked of him, and both players’ performances met expectations. Before the match, I should have communicated with the players in a different way.”
