“I promise dedication and hard work to get out of the current reality of the team”, convicted Argentine Sebastián Beccacece is the new coach of Elche CF, the club owner’s personal bet to face the very high probability of relegation to the Second Division, or rather the challenge of returning to the highest category as soon as possible. Signature shown”I am grateful for this adventure, for this space, for this place. I am very grateful to Elche, Christian and Sergio Mantecón. We’re already happy and we appreciate that.”
In October…
In principle, the project was different, because Christian Bragarnik already wanted the coach to take charge of the team after he fired Francisco. In fact, the technician himself stated: “I have no doubt that we have come to develop a sports project that cannot be realized in October. This time is a great opportunity. We will go day by day, match by match, but with the vision of being able to improve that year, because that’s why we come. The commitment will be excessive.”
Beccacece made the assumption that “Opportunity comes in difficult times, but we will work hard to get out of this reality” and defined herself as a coach along with her coaching staff. “We are a working group with a strong sense of commitment to the institution. And in those two days, we were already able to connect with that feeling that represents us, which are the core values of working in a humble, very passionate, committed city. A city with a very distinct and peculiar sense of origin. I come from a similar city, Rosario“It’s a place where football is experienced that way,” said the President. “We work as a team to develop an idea that the commitment is mutual, what we feel, represents us, and where the fans feel represented.”
Presentation
The new coach was presented this morning by Sergio Mantecón.The club’s technical secretary, Joaquín Buitrago, who apologized for the president’s absence and, above all, thanked the previous coach and his team “for their behavior both personally and professionally”. He admitted that Beccacece “represents a profile that the club has been interested in for some time, so we are very happy to be lucky enough to start a path together. It is a path we believe will be successful”.
What did you find?
New preparer assured “We found a group with an outstanding attitude, willing to absorb every concept as much as possible, and very willing to put in the effort. We know the moment is not what you want it to be. We will work hard to get rid of this reality. “We have the support and commitment of the manager of the group that came to guide these players.”
How do you meet the remaining 12 matches?
The club’s idea was to bring in the coach to continue next season. That’s why Beccacece said, “This is the time to dive into the team. From June or July, we thought we could start everything that could be done now.“. His opinion, during this time, “we can define a profile and an idea … but this often depends on the competitors. We want a team that is prepared for every moment, knows how to be obedient, and has the ability to become stars when it’s their turn. It’s a versatile team.”
game system
“Our understanding of the game is about time and space. Then the players will work in a variable system. Sometimes with a fullback or winger, three backs or a line of four. I insist on being clear about the different moments of the game. We are aware of the fact that we live in the 100th year and the moment we live in, but we also perceive that manifestation attitude to do our best. The group has too much desire and too much assimilation to come up with the idea. “There is a desire and they tended to get a new manager,” he said.
In the present case…
“Obviously, in the context in which we take on the challenge, the most important thing is to regain the trust and self-esteem of the players. This group also retained the category for two years. You need to recapture that memory. We must constantly insist on what we want. You have to work for it and be very persuasive. In dream. But now, calm and tranquility will be essential for the development of what we want.”
What did Bragarnik ask you?
“Bragarnik knows what we can do because we shared time and space in Defense and Justice. We are very close with the players, we have a very close bond. I see myself as a very sincere, attentive person who listens, interprets and treats the actor. I know what’s going on inside. My legacy has always been to be very close to football players and to bring together a very cohesive, close group that helps each other … I have no intention or intention to control what is outside. You cannot control other people’s opinions. We are a very connected coaching team with every member involved.”
What do you want from the fans?
“Football has its painful moments and the fans are always there. At Elche they showed their loyalty by supporting the team during these difficult times. I want you to keep doing this because the team needs it. Elche fans have already put me at ease. They told me they would be with the team no matter what. I want to highlight the reaction I got from the fans. I want to emphasize that they welcome you very well because there can be exclusion in diversity but that is not the case. “The fans know that the coach is a part of Elche.”
Do you find it difficult to adapt to Spanish football?
“It is true that I have been training in South America for 20 years. In different countries, cultures, such as Peru, Chile, Argentina. In national teams. Football taught me that it is universal. There are certain patterns that repeat beyond the specifics of each league. For now, I feel it naturally, like I’m at home.”
