No matter how objective, sometimes scoring is the most hypothetical thing that can happen. However, statistics are considered an important tool in the current football world and can be said strongly about them: Beccacece’s Elche could fight for permanence. I probably couldn’t. But it could have been much closer. At the very least, fans would enjoy an exciting season finale within a year of the Centenario, where all season ticket and attendance records were broken at Martínez Valero.

concretization Sebastián Beccacece celebrates his eleven days as director of the franciverde bench. His arrival was definitely a surprise. Although Machín did not reach the goal, the team did improve from time to time and at certain stages of the game.

Prepare for Elche de Segunda

Bragarnik later wrote of his Elche, almost descendedIn October – when he fired Francisco – he was going to prepare the next season at Segunda with the coach he wanted, but he didn’t because he didn’t have some of the conditions to run his business in Europe.

Sebastián Beccacece scored eleven points in eleven games. Easy environment, one per game. Insufficient income to get salvation from this course, but in previous years. If the Argentine had been ahead of the group from the start, Elche would now have 37 points. One per game played. On the final day of the championship, he would still be fighting for liberation.

On the other hand, the defeat in Almería on May 2 mathematically confirmed the worst news. From then on, the mental freedom of the players came and the changes brought by Beccacece, who managed to link the season’s best winning streak with four game points, two wins and two draws, began to dominate. Coincidence?

The question any Franjiverde is asking right now is: What if Beccacece had arrived earlier, in October, when Bragarnik tried? Using numerical criteria, it can be said that Elche will be relegated as they will have 31 points according to the statistics mentioned above. But the soul knows very little about mathematics, so it will never be possible to know.

the last day

The final appointment at the Elche stadium at nine o’clock this Sunday night would be trivial at the qualifying level, and with Beccacece’s numbers, everything could change.
