Following the victory against Levante, Marcelino García Toral expressed his satisfaction with having met the season's main objective. The coach thanked the players for their commitment and ambition, which allowed them to enter Europe through the front door.
“"We were ambitious in setting this goal from the beginning and we have achieved it. For this, I want to thank the players for their performance. We are entering Europe through the main gate."
The coach also emphasized the importance of the recovery of injured players, such as Kambwala, who returns after seven months. He noted that the accumulation of serious injuries has been unusual this season, but the return of key players is a joy on the path to good results.
Regarding the final matches of the season, with the Champions League objective already achieved, Villarreal is setting new challenges. The team aims to finish second in the league, a feat only achieved by Girona in recent years. The schedule will pit them against rivals in difficult situations, but the team is committed to maintaining competitiveness and professionalism.
Finally, concerning his continuity at the club, Marcelino García clarified that the lap around the field with the fans was a gesture of gratitude and not a farewell. He indicated that his future will be clarified soon, once the timelines set by conversations between the involved parties are met.
