Nor for the happy week for Levante. This Friday the club has made official the renewal of the captain for two seasons, until 2023. And it has been the footballer himself who has communicated it to the companions in an emotional chat before starting training. Coach, Paco Lopez, has asked the players’ attention before the work session: “Morales, as the captain, I wanted to tell you something, it goes”.
The commander has begun his speech with some nerves, but also with some suspense: “You already know what my situation is, it is a difficult situation … but in the end it has come to fruition, an agreement has been reached,” Morales began, who later gave way to thanks.
“I want to give you thanks to all, especially those of you who have been a little closer to me lately: Coke the other day, Posti, Aitor… To thank the technical team for trusting the physios for accompanying us through good times and bad. Thank you for the love that you show me every day“.
And finally the most emotional part has arrived and the announcement: “The Lift is everything. It has given me life professionally and personally also. In a couple of hours I will sign my renewal. Those that, that we continue to make history, that we continue to wear this shield where it deserves. Nobody knew, you are the first to find out and, nothing, that you are going to have to continue putting up with me for a couple of years more. “
Levante players They have applauded the announcement and hugged their partner, a scene captured by the club’s official media cameras.
Soon after, the club has issued the official statement with the announcement of the renovation:
