Villarreal defender Jaume Costa has admitted it will be difficult for his side to play at the same level as this year.
The Yellow Submarine have enjoyed a spectacular 2013 – gaining promotion to La Liga and finishing the year in sixth place.
Costa though, has conceded that it will be tough for his team to continue on that path in 2014.
“Being at the level of this year is going to be tricky,” he told reporters. “But we know we have to perform like that if we’re going to do well.
“Every year in football is different and every game is different. But we want to be even better in 2014.
“We have shown that we are a competitive team, but everyone is confident that we can go up another level.”
