The performance of Pablo Martínez is one of the most relevant aspects of a Levante that, like the midfielder, is trading on the rise. The tie in Butarque, despite coinciding with Eibar and Las Palmas that convey the feeling that they are not letting up in their fight for direct promotion, does not decenter the mentality of a team capable of facing adversity and, above all, everything, fight every point until the last breath. During that morning in Leganés, the ‘6’ once again performed in the same vein as in recent months. Giving himself up in actions both in attack and defense, giving muscle and oxygen to the center of the field and appearing in the vicinity of the opposite area. A series of characteristics that have not only dazzled the Levante entourage, but have given them, based on great performances, the opportunity to extend their relationship with the Orriols team, pending the official statement, until 2026.
However, Pablo Martínez has achieved stability in the Granota core after having hardened away from the Ciutat de València, although his irruption, in his first experiences in Levante, aroused an interest that, as has happened today, provoked that the previous sports management moved a file to renew him until 2024. It happened in July 2020, a year after signing for the subsidiary in exchange for three courses and in the middle of a campaign where he played for the first team through the trust that Paco López placed in your services. A scenario that, on a different scale, has similarities with the current one, since, once Javi Calleja knew how to find a place for him in his notebook, his remarkable performance has caused Felipe Miñambres to bet on the figure of the footballer to be one of the bastions of the Lift of the future.
However, the state of form that Pablo Martínez gives off was not created overnight. With 20 games played at Atlético Levante and 7 games played with the first team in his debut as a Levante supporter, the club not only made the decision to tie him up, but also allowed him to go on loan to Mirandés, where he gained in versatility by participating both as a midfielder as starting by band, so that his progression would continue in an ascending phase. And although his return to Orriols did not meet his expectations, due to the large number of midfielders that Levante had on the payroll, in Huesca he found a place to have a leading role. Six months after returning to the Ciutat de València, the performance of the ‘6’ is a trend and the club has not hesitated to secure his services to project a future of guarantees, where he boasts of having, in addition, a Pepelu who has a contract until 2032 and with whom he shares a generation. Faced with an agreement that only lacks the signature, Javi Calleja, at the press conference prior to the match against Leganés, conveyed his enthusiasm. “He covers a lot of field, has quality and for Levante it is key. It is a success that they count on him for the future. It is a guarantee that there is a committed player », he said. Some statements that validate the performance of a Pablo Martínez who, with his continuity outlined until 2026, lives the best moment of him as a Levantinista.
