goliath and david
So Real Madrid and Elche, Goliath and David, their targets are as far away as their current score (9 to 45) or salary caps (683 against 43 million), they have a clear urgency for victory. But the little one can never eat the big one at home. This is reflected in the statistics. The Real Madrid-Elche CF match has taken place 23 times, with 19 wins and just four draws for the Whites.
But not everything is black. The final tables were obtained last season. In January. With Francisco on the green-green bench and a clear moment of reaction from the team. Elche ended up in a 2-2 draw who little knows. Very little as Goliath is on the ropes until Militao equalizes the game until the 92nd minute. damn discount.
“We almost won”
It was Diego González who remembered this yesterday. “We were very close last year. It is possible to win there and we will set out with this mentality, this ambition and this desire to enjoy.” Elche was always ahead on the scoreboard. It was Modric who narrowed the gap before the goals scored by Boyé (42nd minute) and Pere Milla (76th minute) in the 82nd minute.
Other data
There are other disparaging data in the statistics. 85 meringue goals and only 22 franchises. On matchday 10, Real took a 0-3 win over Martínez Valero. Elche scored tremendous goals at the Bernabéu, 6-1 in the 1984/1985 season or 8-0 in the 1960/1961 season. But there’s always a nail to hold on to.
Elche achieved the last draw after not scoring a goal for 47 years at the Madrid stadium. Same result in 1975, with Franjiverdes goals by Aníbal Montero and Ricardo González (2-2). Then the Elche team, led by Marcel Domingo, was the team that returned from an unfavorable score of 2-0.
If you need to look at some data, you’re better off on those. Elche must continue to add so as not to lose hope in the miracle. Five days until the appointment. The crowd said in their final home game, “Yes we can!” You should start getting excited as you sing.
