Elche are finally smiling after a worrying start to the season, which leads to the termination of their coach: Sebastian Beccacece, to issue an ultimatum before facing Andorra almost a month ago. Either there was a backlash or it wasn’t worth continuing on the front lines with him.
Since that time, Elche squad added 10 out of a possible 12 pointsHuesca had wins against the Andorra team at home and against Tenerife on Saturday, also at Martínez Valero. The plenary session “flew away” in the derby, probably due to the magnificent foot in which Zubiaurre denied the Franjiverde victory in the last minute. With good results coming, there is also this feeling: The team responded positively to the coach’s call for attention..
But it’s not all joy in Elche. Along the way, two players fell who shared the same position and left Franjiverde ahead in the frame: Sergio León and Borja Garcés. Despite the good moments the team has experienced, injuries make Beccacece’s future difficult. It is already known that the player from Córdoba will stay away from the fields until 2024. It has not yet been determined how long he will be away from Melilla, but he had a muscle problem that prevented him from continuing on the field in the match. Tenerife prepares for what could be Green and Green team
With León and Garcés in the infirmary (the latter had already been knocked out a few weeks at the beginning of the season), the opportunity for a theoretical third striker of the squad arises. Mourad remained at Elche in case a situation similar to the current one arose and he was aware that he needed losses to have the right moment.. And if he came, he had to take advantage of it. The young player is aware that his time has come as the green Frenchman, after being loaned to Alcoyano and Burgos in the First RFEF and Second League.
Alternative for the injured
On Saturday he was forced to take the field for a quarter of an hour before the duel, with almost no time to prepare physically or mentally. He realized this in the first episode, when he was caught up in the lethargic tone of the meeting. And he improved in the second half more participatoryHe worked hard on offense and helped his teammates in the final moments with defensive duties.
Elche’s style of play could help bring out the best possible version of Mourad, who has not stood out for his scoring figures, especially in recent seasons. He scored with Alcoyano 16 goals in 63 official matchesHe saw the door with Burgos Three times in 37 matches. He needs to improve these numbers if he wants to discuss the ownership of Sergio León and Borja Garcés.
The second option for the Franjiverde coaching staff would be to rely on the “false 9” number. Oscar Plano Seems to have gained confidence in the last part of the competition or Nico Fernandez Mercau Beccacece generally provides a lot of freedom of movement.
Quarry also appears in the bedroom. Youngsters were on the bench on Saturday NordinBeccacece pointed out both its qualities and its reality: you have to be patient with it. He scored 21 goals in the National League in the juniors last season and went on to score three goals in the Honor League before moving to the senior team with barely a step on the bench (19 minutes). A month ago the club announced his renewal, highlighting his pace, technical quality and goal-scoring instinct as his main attributes. Mexican Jesús Hernández, who featured Ilicitano, might be a more logical option, but his non-EU status closes the door to the first team for now.
In this case, Elche faces a week of double commitment. It will visit Europa in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday and Albacete in the League next Saturday.. If Garcés’ absence is confirmed, Franjiverdes urgently need to find a way to continue their good run with a “9”.
