With such stability come increased demands from a fandom who feel that just avoiding relegation is not enough anymore.
Levante have a squad with talented creative midfielders Rubén Rochina, Enis Bardhi, José Campaña and good forwards who are proven to provide goals and aggressive movements Jose Luis Morales, Roger Martí. This squad is arguably not strong enough to challenge for European spots, but it should comfortably avoid relegation.
