Levante forward David Barral has admitted that it is "difficult" to play as a lone forward for the team.

However, the 30-year-old, who has been a regular in the first XI in recent weeks, insists that he is "used to this kind of game".

"It's difficult for a striker playing the way we do, because you find yourself all alone, surrounded by opponents and where difficult balls are sent forward," he told reporters at a press conference.

"I'm used to it though, because I didn't come Barcelona or Real Madrid, I came here from Sporting Gijón, a similar team to Levante.

"In that sense, I'm already used to this kind of game, so when I came to Levante I'd already said it was the ideal team for me to play at."

Levante are unbeaten in their last five league matches, with that result moving them into 10th position in La Liga.
