In more or less normal circumstances, this preview should revolve around Diego Simeone and Antoine Griezmann’s visit to Martínez Valero and how to do it. the franciverde team would try to beat the third club in the historical standings Spanish football. It should encourage the addition of a new epic to what Elche had written at the time, both in its Gold version in the First Division and during its athletic lean times in the Second Division.
However, the conditions of the centennial Franjiverde season are not quite normal. So much so that the being comes into this match as mathematically falling into the silver category. And while fans had long assumed the outcome, they decided to do what every family does in times of grief, mourning, and frustration: to join. This Sunday, Elche fans won’t be pondering whether Boyé can beat Oblak (low on the mattress, on the other hand), Edgar Badia can stop Griezmann and company, or whether Beccacece can win on tactics. Fight against Simeone.
In such a difficult year franciverde fans have reserved this date to celebrate the 100-year history of Elche Club de Fútbol.. He will do this in a day that will start first thing in the morning and last until after the League game. By the works of fate, the date the fans held this party mathematically coincides with the first home game after being relegated to Second. It mattered little when I thought about how.
The fan party starts at 9:50 am.
Organized by the Peñas Federation to commemorate the centennial of Elche, the festive event will begin at 9:50 a.m. with a musical parade through the city that will take the Paseo de la Estación as its final destination. » with different tents.

At noon, the Albarranch pyrotechnic team, from which the club was born, is expected to fire the first mascletà in honor of the youngest green collars, while at 14:00 another one is expected to be launched in honor of Elche and his fans. A giant paella will be served from 1:00 pm.

There is something poetic about the situation and it can serve to bury the bad moments in the memory of all the good times that have happened before, to think about the future. And it’s not bad for the youngest to get the message that there is a sense of belonging above results..
We don’t all have to be the richest, tallest, handsomest, highest paid or most followed. You can be happy in defeat. In fact, you must learn to be happy in defeat because it is part of life itself.
Thus, Franjiverdismo shows the world the message that just as a promotion is celebrated together, the same unity should be produced in a descent. Players, coaches, presidents and owners pass by; fans remain. We get off together, we get off together.
Match
In purely sporting terms, Elche is a Atlético Madrid Having signed to an amazing League to play the World Cup since the hiatus in December.
In fact, Simeone’s men were eliminated from the Champions League with no play-off option in the Europa League, “going” fifth place to Qatar, 13 points behind Barcelona and 11 points behind Real Madrid. In these conditions, they took on Elche, which they defeated (2-0) at the start of a comeback that put them right in second place. Together with Barça they have been the best First Division team since then (both added 45 points)Despite losing both games against the Catalans and being eliminated by Madrid in the Cup.
As such, little change is expected in Simeone’s roster, which comes after defeating Mallorca (3-1), Valladolid (2-5) and Cádiz (5-1). Along with Oblak, who is mentioned in the missing section, there are Savic, Reinildo, Llorente and Depay.
With nothing left to lose and continuing with her special preparations for 2023/24, Beccacece’s Elche hopes to at least continue to offer her fans performances like her last at home after a defeat against Rayo Vallecano. Obviously, it won’t be the same against today’s opponent.
Argentine coach saves Helibelton Palacios and Pedro Bigas to strengthen the defensive linehad been left rather battered by the accumulation of casualties. Questions include Mascarell’s return, while Carmona is still absent due to injury. If Elche rings the bell against Atlético, they won’t be able to survive the relegation disaster, but will put the ideal icing on the cake for a celebration day for franjiverdismo, where the outcome is the least important.
