Elche CF improved, looked more compact and tighter in defence, Completely dominated the match against Levante And he had a chance to win. However There is no heaven without goals in the football world and Elche team continues its goalless path and this lack of success continues to punish him at this start of the championship, and doubts and concerns remain.

HE Hard blow in Burgos the other day (4-0) forced Beccacece rebuilding the team. The main innovation in the starting 11 was the change in goal. Edgar Badia remained on the bench and San Román started for the first time this season. Had almost no problems.

There were also differences in approach and tactical distribution.S. josan And Mario Gaspar they changed Alex Martin already Diego Gonzálezwho wasn’t right plantation.

Unlike other parties The Argentinian coach left some of his “inventions” behind and preferred a more logical approach and normality.. A mixed defense of three on offense and five on defense was only formed due to certain circumstances and the needs of the game.

Josan served as regular full-backwith Tete Morente leading on the right wing. Nico Fernández moved to the left wing operating as a left-footed winger with a natural and unaltered leg, as he has done so far.

The priest was also almost always on the side and as always, as a centre-back, he was barely positioned in the axis of the defence. Fidel and Nico Castro acted as flyers. In their case, it was a shifting leg to look for shots. Áleix Febas continued as center And Sergio Leon as the lone striker.

The 1-4-1-4-1 draw was more similar to what is customary in most teams. In addition, it was envisaged that Mario Gaspar would move towards the middle of the field whenever he had the opportunity in attack. Their additions, with Josan remaining as a winger, prevented the defense from being left unprotected like the previous time. A more widespread and logical tactical arrangement was seen. AND coverages and defensive adjustments were easier.

Franjiverdes took the initiative in midfield in the first 45 minutes but continued to lack effectiveness. and situations. There are many arrivals to the opposite area, but there were no surprises Andrés Fernandez.

Sergio León tried it several timesBut he was very lonely in the first half.

Levante, on the other hand, was strong in defense and was looking for quick transitions. in bands, with Cantero and Brugue. He also had some approaches, but San Roman didn’t have much work to do.

Elche’s team increased its lead in the last part of the first half. Tete Morente was more active on the right wing and at halftime Fidel had the best chance but Andrés Fernández canceled it out and the rest period was goalless.

Nico Castro He tried from afar Nico Fernandez He ran to the baseline and delivered a good ball to Fidel and his shot was saved by Álex Valle as the ball was already going in. AND Mario Gaspar He took a shot inside the area which Andrés Fernández miraculously saved.

The Franjiverdes were overwhelming and Calleja had to reinforce the midfield with Algobia and Clemente.

Beccacece responded by saying: Cristian Salvador will gain physical presence. And soon after they left Murad and Carreira By Sergio León and Josan.

The team from Elche kept trying. Bigas also tried his luck with a long shot.

With 15 minutes left, the Elche coach tightened his arms and entered the game. Óscar Plano and Rodrigo Mendoza made their youth team debut. The former Valladolid player came forward from the second line and one of his shots deflected and went off the post.

Cristian Salvador had two more shots Frank in the area he couldn’t hit.

Levante was subdued and looking to score on the counter-attack. And he was in it too Pablo Martínez’s pass could not be caught by any teammate..
