‘Hard to understand how Valencia lost’

Valencia Coach Nuno Santo offered his congratulations to Levante for winning the Valencian derby but felt his side deserved more.

Levante claimed a 2-1 victory but Nuno said post-match that his side were far superior to Lucas Alcaraz’s victors.

“We have to congratulate them because they have the victory but it’s hard to understand how we didn’t win despite being much better,” Nuno said, AS reports.

“Now we have to recover fast from a defeat in a game in which we gave everything.

“Levante were limited to defending and they do it very well, but we deserved to win and I am very proud of the team. At best, this result can help us grow.

“The international break didn’t have an influence. We controlled the game and played as we had to play against this type of team. But you have to take your chances.”
