Beccacece: “To achieve the dream, this Elche needs to be brave”

7 days. Saturday. 6.30pm. plantation According to the coach, who emphasizes the strength of his opponent, the Franjiverde team has a new opportunity in a “big fight”: “Burgos is unbeaten at home with seven points out of nine. They are a direct, clear and strong team… It will be a very complex test for which we have prepared well. I believe in what we do and I see every day what the players want and feel. “We will each do our best to bring us what we want, which is victory.”

strong rival

Reluctant to reveal what he sees as the keys to the match, the coach notes: “The opponent is always Very well structured, directive, very good on second balls, defends very well“It’s hard to give him a chance… It’s a big challenge.”

day by day

Regarding the group’s situation, Beccacece emphasizes that “the team finds itself day by day, logically as a natural process after the market closes, people leave, come and start looking for connections again.” But I think From day one, we saw an Elche that defined its idea and took the responsibility it entailed.. “We are trying to shape this with what we have, the very strong commitment of the players and our fans who always show their support.”

This attitude should be “Sunday after Sunday”. Our morale is high today because we have been adding for four days, but it is clear that the beginning is different. and we had to come out of this stronger. “The team has managed to progress but needs to confirm this every week, especially in such a difficult and long tournament.”

The Argentinian coach understands that “the players show tremendous love for the institution and the game, and this excites the fans.”

father and children

Do you think you should treat players like a father? Is it because they are privileged beings to a child because of the type of job they have? “I don’t know if it’s that much, because the father is always a very important figure, but I try to create a family atmosphere in the team. And in this environment there is always someone who can give suggestions, guide, think, but the interest comes from the group, from the players. Yes, it is true that they are privileged because they do what they love, but they are so exposed because most people want to do the same. This sometimes brings with it sensations that are quite threatening to your emotional and spiritual health. These are being revealed and we must work with faith but also with great love and appreciation, knowing that we must have the responsibility to play for those who would give everything for this. You must always have that commitment”.

The teacher turns and looks. “It is important to make the team a healthy and noble place. This comes naturally to me because that’s how I was trained. This family space is where we can talk to each other’s faces, respectfully but always truthfully. Beyond their privileges, football players are also human and need to feel valued and loved.”

Reserves

In this sense, Beccacece thinks: We still need to be more insistent about those who are not so prominent.. “The player who only comes on for 10 minutes has to be as prepared and determined as the player who starts the game. You have to train even more with those who are not playing. And do more with them so they are prepared. I’m not going to make everyone happy, but I’m going to keep everyone prepared. The case of Diego González is an example of this. He had to play in a difficult moment and he did it as if he had been doing it the whole game. “Whether we play or not, we cannot lower our hands even for a second.”

can repeat eleven

The coach is able to repeat the starting lineup for the first time because He made everyone in the starting XI available against Leganés on Sunday. “It might be a possibility, but I’m not one to hold on to it. More often than not, it has been due to suspensions or injuries that prevented this. However, these are statistics that do not show the studies done. There are immeasurable things you can do at other times that mean one cannot handle and repeat, but you decide not to do it out of strategy. No matter who plays, a line is followed and we coaches must stick to it.”.

own names

Lautaro Blanco is less prominent than last season but Beccacece claims he is “very happy with him”, but also “Salinas and Carlos Clerc. We have many players in this position. Less in front or on the sides. There are players who are very good and are competing for space in a healthy way. Moreover, Lautaro showed his own importance when necessary.”

Midfielder Cristian Salvador gave this assurance when asked about his starting options: “He is a very important player, we value him very much (from the coaching staff) and he is a possibility like Guti or Febas. Depending on the demands of the game or the strategy we use. I insist that everyone be prepared and trained.”

Nico

Regarding the positive development of Nico Fernández Mercau, the coach reflects: “His personal growth is very evident. There were many conditions here in the beginning. He has a great personal interest in enjoying his profession, adapting to a new competition… He feels comfortable today, although he did not enjoy many minutes, he already did this at the end of last season. “You could already see him improving.”

Nico’s transformation, like that of others such as Fidel, is marked by: The process we go through to get rid of the pain of falling. It is necessary to remove it gradually. The best way to do this is to do something new. And that’s what we’re in. There’s still a lot of work to be done. Too much”.

Do you think there is an addiction to Sergio León?

“I believe that other players will also contribute. It should be noted that Elche’s goals belong to the team. There is a construction, an elaboration, a mass participation of many people to achieve the goal. Obviously, the attacker has more.” But there is a possibility of finishing There were other things Sergio León could have had three chances in the last game. Just like Josan’s rushing goal or Fidel’s pass. Goals come from the team, from the construction. How many players had a chance to score? If you examine the number of chances we have made, you will notice that they come from games where sometimes even the goalkeeper participates. We are not dependent on a single player to achieve the goal. I believe we will do this. How do Castro, Fidel, Óscar Plano, parties, Josan, Tete come? It was a development that even the goalkeeper participated in two games before the goal. And that has value to me. We already know that the important thing is concreteness, but we continue to believe in our path, which represents us and the people of Elche, who want good football, passion, commitment, dedication… Dream we must be brave. “If it comes out, we will be heroes; if it doesn’t, we will be fools.”

Are you 100% satisfied with the defense?

“We are one of the teams that rate us the least and contribute the least. And we played a part in the games with one missing part. However, it is also true that sometimes there is a feeling of pain, like in the last part of the last match, but I think these are more exciting than anything else. However, it is true that we need to improve a lot in terms of positioning and winning duels… But most of this is new. It starts again. It’s a lot of work and we’re always against the clock. But there is also a natural process of making mistakes, as in the Valladolid goal. This doesn’t need to happen again. We miss many details. But I really appreciate that, although we are the second team that plays furthest from its goal, we are one of the least defeated. “I value a lot when there is resilience in taking on a lot of risk.”

Fans will accompany the team and Beccacece emphasized that fans “produce passion and adrenaline”. Many spent the entire previous week dreaming of victory in the next game. Being a fan of a club is a culture. And you live according to this ideal. Identity is very important for a person and it is great to have a place where a person feels like he belongs and feels like himself. In some cases, football has become such a commercial business that the essence of the business is lost. But luckily there is a fan to remind us of the truth.”

Communion of Castro and Febas

Nico Castro and Aleix Febas are the two pillars of the team. Despite the short time they have been together, they understand each other perfectly.. “For the players brought together by the ball, sometimes it does not matter how long they have been together. Football also has this magic. “There are players who adjust the ball and understand what the position is, who pass the ball, who know how to use freedom, who provide balance.”

Players Union

“Unity and solidarity are very important for us. No one’s religion, race or origin matters. We must agree on the aspects that unite us and are more important than the things that make us different. We create that unit from these values. We are always looking for a way to live together and get to know each other… We learn a lot from the experiences of those who were there. Also from supporters or members of the medical field. These people are important too. We hold constant meetings because they are also part of this big family. We spent all our time bonding. The important thing is to give everything without expecting anything in return and everything flows better. I don’t set the conditions. I give it away and hope the other person enjoys it. We must ensure that the football player works for pleasure, loyalty and commitment to the people who wait for us.
