Elche fans, mature and realistic, He had a fateful season with only two wins at home. and the options to keep the category are zero.
This newspaper asked two very specific questions to the representatives of the franciverdes fan clubs. On the one hand, they were asked to make a brief analysis of the campaign. Second, they are consulted about what they expect from the next. Answers open discussion. They’re coincident and strong, but best of all, they’re hand made with a green fringed heart.

That’s why penistas call the season d.e “disaster”, “shame”, “very difficult”, “one of the worst”, “very disappointing” and they send a message to Elche: “The club must have already started preparing for next year and now that the patience of the fans is already running out, the aim should clearly be to recover the lost category.” became one It’s a real shame that the opportunity to establish yourself in the Premier League was missed and some even say it in the preseason.
opinions
Tomás Domenes, president of Peña Franja Verde, was “embarrassed” by the campaign led by Elche. According to him, “Since the pre-season it has been seen that the team has not been working and the start showed that. We thought they were going to make an important turn during the break, but no action was taken” which seems “incomprehensible”. After that, “We were counting on a miracle but nothing”. That’s why, Domenes says, “a new sporting director and a coach must be sought to build a team with guarantees to ensure the recovery of the category, but if they continue to be “masters of everything, we will not be in charge of anything.”
Carlos San José, president of Penya Altabix, assures himself that it was “an unfortunate season in every sense, with poor planning, a timely wrong reaction and wrong bets on the bench, as well as a missing game”. centennial corporate policy and ephemeris, somewhat open to fan involvement, A disappointing campaign that finds Elche’s bones in seconds”. For the future, “I hope they learn from their mistakes, make sensible plans and build a human team that represents all the fans who can finish organizing the club’s Centennial”.
For Paco Pérez, president of Peña Franjiverde Vega Baja, the team’s involvement this year was “Disaster. Relegation in a sporting event was a possibility we had before it started but not like this. that we do not compete or have options throughout the season. It was a complete disaster that it was the 100th anniversary, and that it broke subscriber records with the enthusiasm of the fans. Hope: “Start scheduling Season 2 from now, take advantage of the financial aid for relegation and let’s fight to return to the First Division as soon as possible. It is the place where relegation at the institutional level does not affect the great works carried out at the youth level, where we are by far the biggest reference at the provincial level, and where the club’s longed for sports city began to be built. .
Assuming decline since October
Juan Diego Molina, president of Peña Centenario, said: “It’s been a very tough year, one of the worst seasons in decades, we’re assuming we’ve been relegated almost since October. Despite this, the fans always responded and stood by the team. It’s been an enjoyable Centennial in Primera, but when it is not suitable for the task in terms of planning and projecting. Therefore, we lost the chance to place the team in the top category. Last minute transfers didn’t work, transfers even less so because there’s a terrible lack of participation. For example, you see Pere Milla or Josan running and fighting in the field and then you see one of the new ones and it’s like day and night. “We need players who give up their lives in every game,” he said.
Molina waits “From May the planning in Segunda begins, to return as soon as possible to the First Division. Players who are experienced and excited in the category and want to advance to Division One should be signed. A clear example of how they did things well was last season’s Éibar, which made some very quick moves by signing top Division Two players. It will be important to use assistance for the descent, and invest this money to try to recover the category within a yearOf course, we’ve already seen tests that often don’t go well, with players familiar with Spanish football. From Peña Centenario, we will continue next to our Elche in whatever category. Very Elche!
Mario Payá, secretary of the Peñas Federation, expresses his own view, although very consistent with others: “The season has been a complete disaster and bullshit since game day 1. Previously we needed to have a better team than the previous season.but since pre-season it was clear that the team had no physique, tactically they never played, and to all this we add a bad atmosphere in the club and inexplicable decisions … Sadly Centenary, as the club and the team have more than 24,000 subscribers and the fans respond with non-stop cheering at every match , unlike the fans, they were not ready for the task”.
Among his hopes: “For next season, I hope to create a team by category whose sole aim is to be yes or yes. The maximum shareholder must radically change the way he runs the club and begin to surround himself with professionals who can advise, advise and assist him in all aspects of club management, both sporting and administrative.”
First Class Hobby
José Manuel Godoy of Peña Nino Leyenda expresses his feelings as follows: “We are the best fans in the world, proven by what happened this year” and focuses the complaints on the largest shareholder: “Bragarnik isn’t even 30% off yet. He’s only ever had one name… and that’s Pacheta. Even in his wildest dreams he wouldn’t have believed he was in the Premier League, and now let’s see what he can do without the flower he has with this coach , ever since he’s only tasked with ruining everything. He only cares about money and shows this by bringing in his clients to see if anyone is doing well and raising more money.”.
For Valero Payá, president of Peña Franjiverde Petrer, “The summary of the season is undoubtedly very bad because I expected more from the team, the management and the coaching staff we have. After an unusual season, I think we lost the category in January (despite such a bad start) after we restarted the category for the World Cup that month with very bad matches. I expect a little more commitment from all sides for next season, and I’m fighting to the end to at least get the “important” positions. choosing to give pleasure to a hobby that does not deserve the year we spent”.
“It hurts more for Centennial”
María Cecilia Ballester, president of Peña Els Gafarrons Ilicitans, said: disappointment moreover, it hurts even more for the centennial. We hope they will give us back our enthusiasm and the First Division next season.”
Raúl Rodríguez, his secretary from Penya Rabuts Novelda, said: “It looked like we were going to have a bad time since pre-season. Since mid-season, I’ve been waiting until the last days to almost avoid relegation. all due to poor sports planning and lack of any club-specific economic effort in its centennial. We should start working now for next year. Try to create a block that competes and keeps the fans entertained. Of course, always try to return to the Premier League as soon as possible. Although it will be complicated given the level of the second teams”.
Peñas Federation president David Aranda concludes that he understands this. “The campaign is divided into lights and shadows. The lights come from the reaction of the fans, the maturity of their behavior and how they return to the team, the club, the institution, what that means. With the Centennial Anniversary, which is not a matter of category, but with the feeling that people are deeply rooted in Elche”. Aranda said, “Elche has many legacies, some of which are recognized by UNESCO and others not, such as the Lady of Elche and Elche CF, which are deeply rooted in the DNA of the Elche people and the entire region, and I dare say that in the whole state. Practically, Elche has a subscriber not only in Primera, but in all towns of the province.”. On the contrary, “the downside is how a unique opportunity is missed due to carelessness and lack of agility, setting a very slow pace and leaving everything for tomorrow, and in the end everything eats away at you. We live in a society that needs everything for yesterday, and this Elche rules everything for tomorrow. We oppose what determines the lifestyle and standard of society.”.
high demand level
For the upcoming season, “We hope that all this changes, all the mistakes, carelessness, negligence and even the occasional lack of professionalism and ignorance will be corrected. You can’t leave things for tomorrow and wait for them to show up. We want professionalism at the corporate and sporting level so that the club and property management are truly involved in this Elche CF. to the times that marked such an important club. I hope and wish they’ve been talking to reps and players for a month to build a roster where their only goal is to rise and the fans won’t be as calm as they have been this year. Next year the demand from the fans will be very high and we need to convey that to the club and the players themselves, but the first person to have that ambition should be the club itself.”.
