Three defeats in a row Valencia, Athletic Club de Bilbao and Real Sociedad It had left some doubts about the end of its course. Elche CF and there was some fear of suffering in the final part of the competition. Again, Francisco’s team broke all the nerves in one hit. He successfully passed his most important test last Saturday, beat Mallorca (3-0) and proved to be a good student. He got the reward of all his hard work and effort, and now he has reached the last six days with his homework.
Franjiverdes faces the final leg of the competition. comfortable thirteenth place in the standings with no more than seven teams behind and with a very comfortable advantage over its competitors in terms of permanence. The band from Elche has a difference Ten points with Alavés and LevanteThe last two classified are still dreaming of redemption with their victories this weekend against Rayo and at Granada. seven with Cádizwhich this Monday (9:00 pm) has a finalized match. Camp Nou vs. Barcelona. This Mallorca and Granada seven points away, plus extra goal average In favor of Francis’s. I mean, there are eight of them. Getafe three and Rayo Vallecano two to visit Martínez Valero on the last day.
GOOD BED
Only 18 points to play
While “weird” results are usually given at the end of the season and there are teams that no longer play anything and make it easy for the hopelessly outgoing following to score points – proof of that was Elche who won last season. The last two games – with just 18 points to play, it seems unlikely that the franjiverdes will squander their seven or at least six beds, which would come as a huge surprise if Cádiz beat Barça on Monday.
Also, the franchiverdes don’t have a bad calendar. On Tuesday they visit Betis thinking about Saturday’s Cup final, then pick up Osasuna, who has also done her homework; and then they will encounter Cádiz risking their lives; They will take Atletico de Madrid to finish LaLiga against Celta and Getafe, until then they will have to face these matches as a pure formality.
Elche’s permanence is not mathematical yet, but in a way virtual because it seems very difficult for Francisco’s team to not score more goals and their opponents to reach 35 points. In any case, the Elche team would do well to get the bailout as soon as possible and end the season calmly; this season there is also a greedy economic bonus that increases the amounts due to the improvement of the classification.
IMPORTANT MOMENTS
The Franchiverdes did not fail against their direct rivals
Another reason Francisco confirms that his team received the award for their good work is that they passed important tests against their rivals in their league. Team Elche with Almeria coach almost failed against the following teams. Martínez Valero saved the draw (0-0) in the match with Granada in which he deserved the win and played with only one player except for the entire second half; and regression against Levante (3-0) in Ciutat de València, the rest of the matches played directly against opponents fell on the side of Franjiverde: Alavés (3-1), Rayo Vallecano (2-1), Granada (0 – 1) and Majorca (3-0). Twelve points that keep us calm today. If the dynamics are preserved in the remaining bets against Osasuna, Cádiz, Celta and Getafe, you can imagine approaching 50 points at the end of LaLiga. Something to be successful.
GOOD DRESS
Staff are united, determined and know what their rank is
The Elche football players showed that they were good students and apparently learned all of Professor Francisco’s lessons and approaches. The arrival of the coach from Almeria meant a leap in quality, ambition and commitment. All the actors know how to play their roles, putting their egos aside and knowing that they will be rewarded with effort and hard work.
Important men such as Lucas Boyé, Pedro Bigas or Helibelton Palacios were injured; sanctions, covid contamination… However, as seen last Saturday, players who did not start like Gonzalo Verdú, Josan, Raúl Guti or Kike Pérez took steps according to the needs of the team. Guido Carrillo took a leading role in Boyé’s absence in January. Fidel took Gumbau and Pere Milla stripes, Diego González and Tete Morente. And when the “last unit” was needed with Barragán, Piatti or Lucas Olaza, they also contributed. Francisco won the locker room. All the players believe in him and his coaching team, and this has been the key to getting past the course without revalidation.
