Fidel Chavezone of the captains Elche CF, offered a press conference this Wednesday where the group talked about different current issues from Elche and on a personal level. The Huelva football player assured that the decision will now be brought. sebastian beccacece seems “logical and correct” as a new coach. At the same time, the team promised to be. Drop everything for a good season finale. franciverde player said He accepted his new frontier as an organized midfielder rather than a winger. this is how he played in the first scene of his existence in franciver.
What do you think of the club’s decision to appeal against Gavi’s possible incompatibility against Barcelona?
The truth is that I learned from the press. We talked about this in the dressing room. This is a club decision and we have to do our part. I understand that legal services will fight for the best for Elche and if they see any option they will therefore decide to offer it. But we players are on other issues.
How is this season going so badly?
It is very difficult and difficult in every aspect. It was a very special and beautiful year for the centennial, especially for the fans. But the results are not coming. A few coaches showed up and we weren’t able to bring out the best version of us. The fans deserve to keep fighting until the last moment. I have never experienced such a situation.
Relegation is practically assumed. How do you face the rest of the campaign?
Anything to think about, except Saturday’s Osasuna game, would be a mistake. We know that we should add it to almost all three-on-three games, but that’s not assuming at all. We are in an extreme situation, but while there is a glimmer of hope, we must try. We’ve been unable to link a few positive results this year, and we’re going to try that.
What do you think about the club’s decision to bring in a new manager, considering promotion next season?
Seems completely correct to me. We are struggling, and he has come with great hope and enthusiasm. Even though we haven’t been here for a long time, you can see him in every practice and he tries to bring out our best. Thinking about next year’s project seems logical and understandable to me. As Pere Milla said last week, he is a manager similar to Francisco in terms of his closeness to the player and the energy, enthusiasm and aptitude he conveys. Now we have to adapt. The first match was difficult because we faced Barcelona, but I think we’ve already seen positive things and now we need to continue to get stronger and improve every week.
How does the locker room cope with so many manager changes?
I try to adapt as quickly as possible with each of them. When the results are not positive, mental exhaustion occurs with any decision taken. But the team is still very concentrated. We have a struggle to fight until the last second of the season and try to change the dynamics. We have tried so far but have not been successful. Now a new coach has arrived, who is excited and very important to finish well. Our fans have always been with us during this difficult year and we must give our all to make them proud.
Have you seen the most significant changes since Beccacece’s arrival?
He is a very close coach who comes to every training with enthusiasm and enthusiasm, with the belief of doing his best every day. I think we did a lot of things well, up to 2-0 against Barcelona. They gave us very few chances in the first half but they have quality players and we are up against one of the best Barcelona of the season. We have to keep taking steps to have more possession of the ball and play more on the opposite court. The new coach is trying to give us the tools we need to achieve this and change the dynamic.
And on a tactical level, what would you highlight about what Beccacece wanted to implement differently from previous coaches?
There is someone inside trying to be more together when it comes to defense. At Machín we played with three defenders and two wingers, but when we deployed on offense there was more distance between the wing and the defender and more space in the middle of the court. Now he wants us to be together more. He’s putting us pictures and videos to try to fix it, and we’re not that far from the players. This is one of the advances we are trying to make to improve.
As they look forward to Saturday’s game against Osasuna, will they be able to take advantage of the physical and emotional exhaustion they may have after playing in overtime and qualifying for the King’s Cup final?
They are having a precious moment. After being promoted I went to play at Al Sadar and it seemed we could capitalize on that enthusiasm and they gave us a bath. They will throw parties in the stands throughout the match and they are a team that always has a great relationship with their fans. It will be a very difficult match. They are strong in mid-wings and set pieces. We will have more time to prepare for the match and we can do better than them but that doesn’t mean anything because they are a great team. We have to try to give more with the ball and improve on transitions.
On a personal level, we’ve seen Fidel in recent seasons who play as a more organized midfielder, more extreme and more honest than the young player in his first stage. How do you settle in?
You become a chameleon (laughs). We’re celebrating our birthday and I have to adapt because I don’t have the speed I always had when I played close to the band. I started to change with Pacheta. We had a deep side like Juan Cruz and I didn’t go into it any further. I really like my new position and I feel very comfortable in contact with the ball. I have to keep improving and improving tactically when it comes to being closer to each other and getting along with other midfielders. But I feel comfortable and ready to continue helping the team.
