Father Milla got the head shot of his life there. A celebration took place where the stands were emptied. Where Elche embraces splendor a promotion with very few bets -Bragarnik had already changed coaches for the next season-. Girona stadium was in Montilivi. Sunday, August 23, 2020. A sad memory due to the pandemic but a year of unparalleled joy for Elche fans.
Elche is back in LaLiga. And he did it with a team that abused its dignity and unity, leaping into the playoffs but always believing in machada. In the city with a coach that will never be forgotten and a Nino who fulfilled his dream of seeing his team at the top again.

The next day, BİLGİ said, “Elche de Pacheta and Nino are going to heaven. The coach and veteran forward led an admirable group that rose from Second B to First Place in two years.
The coach of Salas de los Infantes lined up with Edgar Badia at the finish line that night. Gonzalo Verdú and Dani Calvo ahead, alongside Josema and Óscar Gil. At centre, Ramón Folch, Iván Sánchez and Juan Cruz delivered the ball to the first forwards: Jonathas, Josan and Nino. In the second half, Víctor Rodríguez, Dani Escriche, Fidel, Mfulu and Pere Milla, who scored 0-1 in the 96th minute After a great game from Huelva winger who moved to the far post for Catalan to finish.
five survivors
Very little of this historic team remains, but some remain. Edgar Badia, Gonzalo Verdú, Josan and Pere Milla will be back on Sunday (14:00) to step on a Montilivi’s lawn. seeing First Division games again after getting the long-awaited promotion last summer. Another survivor from that day FidelHe will miss the return to the Promised Land as he has accumulated 5 yellow cards and will have to serve this match as a sanction. José Ángel Carmona, who was out of the field at least until the middle or end of May due to a muscle tear, will not be in this match.
worst moment
The memories will be legendary, but Elche arrives at the Girona stadium at the worst moment of recent years. Colista, with just 13 points and 5 coaches sacked—Gallego worked at the subsidiary but also managed the first team and was fired weeks later. The ordeal this team has gone through is enormous. And the main player block is the same as the previous season. And for the most part he managed to look at the qualifying chart with some optimism. Today, with 10 days to go, no one believes in a miracle anymore. It must be huge.
In Montilivi, Elche enjoyed the greatest of its final glory. but the next meeting comes in full and long agony. It will be the first Franciverde visit to Girona in the First Division. Premiere of a Girona-Elche of the highest category. Probably because they are two humble clubs, but this season they are both very different.
The best of Girona
The next opponent is 11th in the standings., adds 35 points and is very close to permanence. In addition, he managed to score three points from Martínez Valero in a match that probably came inevitably later. Actually, it’s been 5 months and the team still hasn’t reacted.
Currently salvation is at 17 points and only 30 points are at stake. Although the descent seems like a reality for weeks, the group continues without giving up. The arrival of Sebastián Beccacece hasn’t served to change the dynamics either, considering a Second Division Elche who should already start working on their return to the First Division as soon as possible. Different coaches tried one way or another, but the change did not come. And it’s late. Montilivi was the pinnacle moment in the recent history of the centennial club. Now, an ordeal Elche arrives at the Girona stadium.
