Beccacece He saw how the fans whistled at the team because of the poor results in the first results.and his followers doubt whether he is the ideal coach to return the Franjiverde to the highest category of Spanish football. cheer and hear your name called from the standslike last saturday Royal Zaragoza.
Since October 4, after the defeat Gijón vs Sporting (2-0) He declared that there would be no point in continuing to suffer if they could not win the next game against Andorra and that his continuity in charge of Elche would be taken into account; The dynamic has changed in a very positive way and there are already six games since then. El Molinón-Enrique Castro QuiniWithout knowing defeat: Andorra (2-1), Eldense (1-1), Huesca (0-1), Tenerife (2-1), Albacete (1-1) and Real Zaragoza (2-0).; Besides the victory in the first round Copa del Rey vs Europa (0-2).

The Argentine coach is having his best moment since Martínez Valero came onto the bench in April Pablo Machín and we will prepare for this season in the Second League.
Beccacece, like her players He learns without losing his identity and clear game philosophy A unifying approach, especially with the constant switching of players from midfield to forward and trying to reach the opponent’s area through the ball. Franjiverde’s coach also applied nowadays it provides more practicality while also keeping its idea. We see a more practical Elche. We look for the opponent’s goal without taking too much risk when releasing the ball and at the same time making vertical passes and crosses on the field.Like we showed against Real Zaragoza last Saturday.
Elche probably belongs to Elche The most complete match of the seasonIt maintained the necessary balance for teams that want to be at the top both offensively and defensively.
“This is the result of the process. The team learns and comes together in competition. We did not get results at the beginning but the team played well, despite the negativities, it was a matter of time and determination.. The team is growing and needs to continue learning. The knowledge of football players who play regularly adapts to the demands of the game and the club and everything related to the environment. It’s a natural thing to happen. It is true that the team has had its ups and downs from time to time, but we came back to continue the football in the first matches against Zaragoza and we came back with solvency and solidity, which means scoring goals.. They scored only one shot at us in the first half, and in the second half they gave us two clear positions after 2-0. “I wanted the team to find again that game that we liked and that brought us closer to victory,” commented the coach of the Elche team at the end of the match against the Aragon team.
full trust
Beccacece also touched upon the change experienced both on a collective and, above all, on a personal level: After Borja Garcés’s winning goal against Andorra in the 89th minuteThis could point to his future and continuity at Elche.
“I feel very comfortable because of the trust that Cristian (Bragarnik) and Sergio (Mantecón) gave me, the reaction of the players to me and the love that people gave me.. Then football is the result. A person can be very comfortable, very happy and have the self-confidence to develop what he feels and believes. “But this is not a matter of stubbornness, it is a matter of knowing what I want,” he said.
The coach reminded: “I had to leave the places where I was great, but the ball didn’t go in. After working in the profession for 20 years, one begins to understand that sometimes these things happen.. We’re talking about football, but this happens in life too. They demand results from you. We came from the great excitement in the First League at the end of last season, being one of the teams that finished the season best and creating a process that needed to be internalized and worked hard. WITH Today, after that difficult moment at the beginning of the season, the team is back on the path of regularity in competitions.. We did this, but not regularly, especially when we were away from home. This has changed. I do not know the reason. Maybe it was because of time, or maybe it was because it was meant to be this way. We will have to think about fate and those who still want us to be here. If it’s because of Cristian (Bragarnik), I have no doubt about it because he told me: You’re not going crazy and I told him that sometimes things don’t go the way you want.. On Andorra day, the players showed this on the field. “What can I say… I am very comfortable with them,” he said.
