Another week, Elche owner Christian Bragarnik attended a day of his team without a win. Something changed during the development of the match between his team and Valladolid in Argentina, with little regard for making public statements to players and managers or leaving the general tone of support.
Bragarnik did not speak, but was very clear. The businessman uploaded a story via his personal Instagram account to make it very clear that he didn’t like what he saw. In it you can read the phrase “Attitude is not negotiated” with a black background in a green frame, accompanied by a centennial shield. An event that has now become a torture for the franciverde environment.
With this message, Bragarnik is clearly pointing to the squad for this poor start to the season that Elche has yet to win in the League after 13 games played. The image they present in the vast majority of meetings is not consistent with the category in which the entity is militant. Checked again against Valladolid. Although the result was close, Elche’s sense of inferiority was evident throughout most of the match. Only Edgar Badia’s great performance, Pucelana’s failure and Josan’s goal prevented an even bigger disaster.
The message doesn’t escape the coach either, although it mainly points to the players. A Jorge Almirón Lopez and Calleja, which is Bragarnik’s bet after ruling out other options that could not be carried out due to bureaucratic procedures (Beccacece), refusal of technicians (Bordalás, Marcelino and Vicente Moreno), or Bragarnik’s own decision (Paco).
Break for the World Cup
Elche has two official matches left before the break for the World Cup. This Tuesday they will host Girona in a match where MartÃnez Valero can show his disappointment to all Nivals due to the current situation. The King’s Cup draw with L’Alcora will be played at home next weekend.
Even Almirón doesn’t seem safe in his position until then. At a press conference after his game against Valladolid, the coach admitted that it was a decision that Bragarnik had to make, which he said would understand and know him well. Almirón also made several appearances, referring to it as “pre-season”, highlighting the work that can be done during the intervening month. The truth is that this pre-season Elche could have an insurmountable advantage. And it is not certain that Almirón will face it.
