Roberto Soldado arrives at Levante with captain's stripes without armband. The Valencian forward is a born leader in the dressing room and an ideal complement for José Luis Morales and Roger Martí, for his claw, experience and ability to associate with attackers. Ask Cédric Bakambu, who exploded with 22 goals in the 2015-16 season alongside the Valencian forward, who signed 15 assists in all competitions. The vast majority aimed at the forward of the Republic of the Congo.
With Morales, Roger and Soldado, Paco López's trident guarantees goals and wins in character and honor. An aspect demanded of the team in certain sections of the season, even from the sports management, which was looking for a profile of these characteristics. It was one of the Achilles heels of the team. Soldier perfectly meets the requirements.
The brand new signing of Levante comes from signing 25 goals in his 82 games in Granada, 11 and 14 per season, recovering the idyll with the goal in recent seasons and growing especially as a footballer outside the area, exploiting the virtues of his companions like never before. 'Comandante' and 'Pistolero', with 13 and 12 goals, respectively last season, want to take advantage of their good time with that society. The one from Torrent, moreover, has surpassed ten goals in the last three seasons.
The Silla coach is already rubbing his hands with the possibilities that the forward who had been claiming for him gives the teamthe last years. Even in many sections of the past year, he used Gonzalo Melero in the lead to take advantage of his aerial game and instinct in the area. Soldier has all the characteristics. At 36 years old, arrives at Levante for complete a trident of maximum guarantees.
