Elche coach Sebastián Beccacece analyzes tomorrow’s match against Tenerife (Martínez Valero, 21:00) with the peace of mind of winning at home against Huesca, but also with a request to support the forward step taken by the team. last two trips. “This is a good opportunity to win the second game in a row and continue to defend the series, which is important. Victory always sparks everything about the team.” The Franjiverde coach stated this a few minutes ago.
The dynamic is positive but be careful, “an opponent comes in as a favourite, because it is marked by the points he has and his current situation, the matches he has won away, his fast and vertical play.” Moreover, “We faced each other in a very balanced match during the pre-season.” Beccacece warns: “We have to be very competitive, knowing that we have an opponent who is very fast, who works very well and who will demand the maximum from us.” “To see if we can use that extra advantage and find the home levels of a dominant team.”
The Argentinian coach insists: “When you dominate you also create a lot of space. We will have to be very good at the setup of the game and be very careful about possible losses.Because there are very fast people who can benefit from any failure. “We have to decide according to our opponent.”
Preparation
The training week was productive and there was a very good atmosphere after the win against Huesca. “This is a very healthy and noble group that wants to do everything in the best possible way. We always have to reinvent ourselves in what’s going on.” The team always fought despite the difficulties. Within the parliament, the team demonstrates its commitment to the public. Because they are what motivates us to continue to persevere despite the difficulties. Because we have not yet found the number of wins that other teams have found. But we are working to get there. This attitude is transmitted. Fans see and feel something to sell tickets and they line up like yesterday to join the team in Albacete“says the coach.
Beccacece claims that it reflects the support of the fans despite the fact that they have not been able to compete for the goals that Elche wanted in the last two years. “I think it’s because the team persists and knows how to suffer. We are in the process of regaining leadership, the mentality of winning every weekend. Feeling strong. People accompany us. And they show us that we are. Even though they experience the pain and wound of losing the category and know that the start was not good, they know that we always give them the maximum.“.
According to Beccacece, this maximum “should be the minimum required to continue climbing. “We are aware that we have to learn the competitive process and I think we have shown that we have mastered it.”
Will Fidel play?
The coach didn’t want to say whether he would do it or not. “We are lucky that he trained normally because he is a very important player for us. We will see what remains after that and decide whether he will come from the beginning or later. But the important thing is: Be there,” the coach elaborated regarding the other two injured players. He does not even dare to give an approximate date. “The truth is I don’t know. John has a special case of discomfort resulting from his injury. The doctor can explain this better. They don’t give me a date. I don’t have any. As for Sergio León, I already said it would take a few weeks, but maybe the wind will turn in his favor. “And we’ll have it sooner than expected, but I’m not sure about that and I can’t say that.”
The technician, on the other hand, reveals: “Salinas had some discomfort this week, but I think he can be with us against Tenerife.”. Asked specifically about Nico Castro’s development, Beccacece said: “I see him very well, he gave us an assist against Andorra, he gave us the goal against Eldense. This is important. It is also true that a player loses the continuity of games. He suffers from this, but he grows and develops.” He becomes important to the group. His punch, his coming, the intentionality of the play… he doesn’t hide, he doesn’t demand it…”.
Tenerife is an opponent with a lot of power from set pieces, especially in aerial games. Has it been specifically studied? “You’re always working. Sometimes scoring against us has nothing to do with whether you’re more or less prepared. They have good headers, but they also have good strikers and finishers. We are all trying to defend the set piece. Like all teams. Then skills, height, experience, other innate qualities…, the nature of football… Everything that is a structure is studied… Video sessions are examined, but then the game becomes. . Football also has incalculable features. It is impossible to control everything. No matter how hard we try to have some control, we give him work because otherwise why are we there, but that doesn’t mean the work provides support for him and that doesn’t happen until later. You always work hard, but there are things beyond work. We are human, we do right, we make mistakes, we take risks. Yes it works. That’s obvious,” explains Beccacece.
What’s the difference between this Elche and the first game?
“The team is growing in terms of Racing. But there are other changes. Pere Milla and Lucas Boyé are not there. Mario was not there, Febas was not operating in the current position, Josan was not defined as a winger as much as he is today.” … There are many great things in a short time, if you analyze it, you will realize that what the day has brought you, possessions, relationships, ties, jobs… are added later. The team is changing a lot. In times of market demise, everything had to be reinvented. Now we managed to get our first away win but it comes back to the fact that I think Elche need to improve their finishing. I don’t think this is a disability issue. You have to believe that you can be important again. It is a process. You must insist on a style of play and stick to it; Time will tell how far we can go. You have to be very convincing, very brave… but you have to remember the context. We are achieving this with great effort and with the support of our people. What’s done is done and the market is the way it is. What matters is what we do with what we have. And we try to get the best out of our team. We will see in December whether we can use this budget. But the fact is that we have two strikers… I’m not complaining about that. I don’t use this as an excuse. I value this. I need to get out of a real situation. Each team has four offensive players. I believe in these children and I will defend them no matter what because they show every day that they demand themselves. They play with pain, like Fidel did in a few matches. We are the busiest team, the team that runs the hardest. But football is concreteness and for that you need to study the full context. That’s why I value this group. You have to evaluate what the team does well. And in the context in which he did it.”
Do you think the four matches against top opponents are very important?
“This is so equal and so variable that it is more appropriate to think about these three points. It is necessary not only to search, but also to find them. Now we must find what we are looking for. We must play game by game. The things that will leave their mark on the Second League, which is played meter by meter, ball by ball, game by game, are regularity, determination and perseverance…”
Have you discussed reinforcement with the facility?
“I have 24 players who have my full support and demands. I didn’t talk about it. There will be time and we will always need to take time to see our situation and draw conclusions. From there there is an availability that wasn’t there before, at least that’s what they told me. From there, what we see as necessary is sports management.
How is the lawn after reseeding?
“It’s something that happens all the time. It’s an organic thing that takes time. It’s okay, but it got so much better. “We still played our last two games in stadiums with worse turf.”
