His arrival was as unexpected as it was applauded. Elche could finally boast of having the best player in the capital class playing internationally in Argentina and shining in Palermo and PSG. Not so much in Rome. Javier Pastore, “El flaco”, didn’t come in his best form – he barely played in Italy due to injury – but he was still a class player. And he landed on Elche to take on a new role in a humble team. And so the famous midfielder extraordinary embodied his new role. This is how colleagues and technicians understand it.
A FEW OPPORTUNITIES
Elche’s midfield is well protected
Mascarell and Gumbau at center, Fidel and Morente on the flanks have been the most used midfielders this season. They are joined by Raúl Guti and after the winter market, Josan and Iván Marcone along with Kike Pérez and in some cases Pere Milla. There’s a lot of competition for a position where Pastore can fit in just a few games.
GAME STYLE
stronger than creativity
Elche does not stand out with a flashy game, tap it. One of the fewest passing teams in LaLiga. If anything defines it, it’s definitely solidarity in the defense. Too much intensity, creative, evocative for an actor like Pastore, but not that strong in editing.
MINUTES PLAYED
“El flaco” participated in 10 games and 418 minutes
He was the first corporal in five games but changed. The other five entered the middle of the second half. Often with markers that are difficult to remove. The shortest-playing midfielder alongside Pablo Piatti (238) and Kike Pérez (239).
INJURY AND PUNISHMENT
Muscle ailment and four games away
Pastore suffered two losses due to a muscle condition and was suspended four games for insulting a referee. He turned against Mallorca and Betis but did not play.
100% PARTICIPATION
He knows he has a new role and he fulfills it with flying colours.
Fans might think that Pastore has come to Elche to retire. Nothing could be further from the truth. A 100% dedicated player, admired and respected by his teammates, someone who clenches and clings to be together despite suffering. His participation is full. He is one of the players who most warmly welcomes Elche fans and employees. He gets bored every workout. Race, fight and bring lots of class. And experience, as Francisco highlighted a few days ago: “Pastore helps us a lot in the dressing room at this time of the season. It’s time for people like him to contribute their grain of sand so that they know how to deal with these situations. I am very grateful to “El Flaco”. There are very few people like him with his experience and good work.
END OF AGREEMENT
Is your off-site business worth renewing?
He had almost no opportunity on the pitch, but was fully integrated into the group on the bench and at the end of the matches. And a lot. Happy. She got the part and it’s very likely she’ll want to continue. If Elche closes its permanence soon, it may have more options to play with. And to prove its true worth on the field. Should Bragarnik consider refurbishing?
