He told journalists yesterday: “The most important thing now is to win and gain confidence. We played well in the first half, but it is true that in the second half the team were a little behind.
“It is also true that with a two-goal led we need to be calmer. We lost control and Levante made us suffer, but the important thing was to win and we did. It was a boost of confidence that was necessary.”
Cazorla now hopes to keep their league run going versus Deportivo at El Madrigal on Thursday evening, adding: “Now we are thinking about the next game and the importance of winning points at home. Fortunately, we have players like Nilmar and [Giuseppe] Rossi who are good in front of goal.”
