Elche CF fans chanted “We’ll be back, we’ll be back again”. during the game played last Sunday Atlético Madrid. Franjiverde’s followers maintain this illusion: The team from Elche may return to the First Division next seasonNO.
Elche has already taken over and is considering the next course They will play in the Second Division and they have a long road ahead of them. Trying to get back to the elite of Spanish football.
A priori, franciverde team will start with a certain advantage over most of their rivals. Club from Elche, LeagueA financial aid for relegation in which category will exceed ten million euros.
The Association of Clubs established this initiative for the following purposes: reduce the economy of teamswhich has to take on the chips of many players with an existing contract and is much higher in Division One than Division Two.
But not only Elche will receive this help. Also two other sets descending. AND distributed on the basis of quantities. basically some parameters their background in the top category and their years in the First Divisionespecially in recent seasons.
Therefore, for the club from Elche to have a certain advantage over its rivals, There are teams that are not interested in knocking.because they will get a lot more help.
It’s not the same as teams. Valencia or Espanyolhas a long history in Primera; than others like him Almeria, Cadiz or Valladolid.
In the case of Valencia, a relegation aid is estimated to be: up to 40 million euros. What would make him the big transatlantic in the Second Division next season?
something similar happens with Espanyol will get a lot of money before it reaches the amount of Valencians.
Getafe also accumulates a lot of campaigns in the top flight and their relegation aid is quite high.
But, Almería, Valladolid and Cádiz have placed First and Second respectively in recent years and they would have received much lessAlthough a little more than Elche.
In these moments and two days before it ends, Espanyol is in the penultimate place with 31 points. and has a permanence zone at four points. In an extreme situation and in the event of a fall, he will be the opponent who must be defeated.
HE Getafe adds 34 and he was still able to get off the descent. Valladolid and Cadiz (35) They’re not easy, and most of your options go straight through the match this Friday. Algeria (36) while he still has the noose around his neck, Valencia (37) You are taking important steps towards liberation, but you still have a long way to go. They will also play Real Madrid the next day. Equal Celta (39) not recorded.
There are seven teams for two places to accompany Elche in the Second Division next season. Even Getafe isn’t interested in the relegation of Franjiverdes, Valencia and Espanyol.
second division
The same thing happens with teams that can go up from the Second Division.
It’s a big tie at the top of the table, with up to five teams able to secure two direct promotion spots: Granada (69), Las Palmas (68), Alavés (67), Eibar (67) and Levante (66). meanwhile he Albacete (63) Almost secured a spot in the “play-off” qualifiers.
Elche would have been more interested in the promotion of the three teams that were relegated last year.: Granada, Levante and Alavés, because if they had not done so, they would have had the economic remainder of the relegation aid they received last season.
But, Las Palmas, Eibar and, above all, Albacete would not have such an economic capacity. next season to set your templates.
It has been shown many times in football that money is not everything.. It is not because you have greater financial capacity that you are sure of success. But it can have a significant impact.. best example With a salary cap of 25.9 million in the Second Division, Granada is almost double that of most of its rivals..
One of the captains of the Franciverde group, Fidel ChavezAfter the Atlético de Madrid game last Sunday, “We have to keep our feet on the ground. We know that we will play in a very equal and very competitive category. It will be a 42-day marathon. We see the equality experienced this season and it will be the same next season. There will be competitors that will go down, and others that no one expected, and others that will not go up.“.
