"We are preparing well for the start of the league," De Frutos, who recently joined Levante from Real Madrid's reserve team, Castilla, said. 
 
"We have another two games left and I think we are going to have a good game in Valencia against our rival and try to get the three points that would be the best way to start La Liga."
 
The last meeting between Valencia and Levante in a league match was on 12 June 2019.
