Romero: "After the second goal we were uncomfortable"

Romero marked his 100th appearance for Levante but felt uncomfortable after Real Sociedad's second goal in their defeat at Anoeta.

Iván Romero reached a century of appearances for Levante in their match against Real Sociedad at Anoeta, also wearing the captain's armband following Roger Brugué's substitution. Speaking to Movistar after the final whistle, the striker reflected on a match that started brightly but turned sour.

Romero praised the first half as entertaining for spectators, with plenty of chances and transitions. However, he felt Levante's performance deteriorated significantly after conceding the second goal. "After they scored the second we were uncomfortable and we leave with a bitter taste for not taking any points from here," he said.

The forward noted that Levante had begun to play with more confidence following their own goal, but Real Sociedad's second strike knocked the wind from their sails. He acknowledged that while his team competed well overall, they lacked the bravery and precision in the second half that characterized their opening 45 minutes, with Real Sociedad's one-on-one pressing and dominance in duels proving decisive.
