Villarreal coach Unai Emery, after learning that Levante will be their Copa del Rey rival in the quarterfinals, he pointed out that he does not dare to say that they are favorites, since they will play in the Ciutat de València and “they will be very motivated to play at home. “
On whether they have a chance to win the Cup, Emery said that “We are not favorites for this Cup, I think they are Barcelona, Sevilla and Athletic. We can aspire to this, but Levante too, so I don't dare to say that we are favorites. It is a great opportunity that makes us all very excited and of course we want to do something ”.
The coach of the Castellón team added that the difficulty grows as the competition progresses, but that the illusion also grows, which is to reach the semifinals.
“It's a first-rate derby, with a team that knows us well and that always puts us in difficulties. We knew that it would be a difficult opponent and that it would be a beautiful and exciting match for both teams ”, he concluded.
