Leave the good ones intact and reward those who do a good job or save the players you trust and these were the headlines. This is the dilemma faced by the coach. Elche CF, Sebastián Beccacecefacing the meeting of this Saturday (21:00) against Espanyol at the Stage Front Stadium in Cornellà-El Prat.
against the previous day Royal ZaragozaElche’s team played one of the most complete matches of the season. out of date 2-0, were far superior to the maños and were confident in defense and effective in attack. He did this with three players who were not usually included in the starting 11. Diego González, Raúl Guti and Mourad.
Replaced Cádiz centre-back Pedro BigasSuffering from muscle discomfort from the previous fight in Albacete. Diego, who had very few opportunities on this course, performed well. He was solid defensively and even looked brave and confident when receiving the ball. From behind, as Beccacece wanted.
Now the Franjiverde coach must decide whether to reward the player or not. Chiclana de la Frontera or, conversely, realign Bigas, a player in whom the Argentinian coach has absolute confidence and who once fully re-conditioned would be a starter.
Something similar happens with Raúl Guti. The Zaragoza native also had a good game against the city team. They even changed the fans’ whistles to applause. Like Diego González, the midfielder has barely played this season. They had minutes Last three games in the cup against Europa, at Albacete and against Zaragoza; He has shown once again that he can be a viable and prominent player, as he was when he arrived at the Elche club four seasons ago.
On the other hand, Nico Castro has already served a one-match suspensionHe is one of the players Beccacece trusted after his dismissal from Carlos Belmonte and was one of those who supported his signature last summer.
The Argentine midfielder plays regularly and rotates as a starter and substitute.. He was in the starting 11 before being sent off due to Fidel’s injury. The logical thing, therefore, once he has fulfilled his sanction, is that he will once again be among the chosen ones to oppose Espanyol.
Raúl Guti has more experience at defensive level and as the match looks balanced and highly competitiveIt is also possible that the Aragonese football player will continue in the first 11 and reserve Nico Castro in the second half.
Up front, Mourad had to take on attacking duties while Sergio León and Borja Garcés They were injured. The Spanish-Moroccan has been improving and improving in recent matches and was at a high level against Zaragoza.
Garcés emerged in the final few minutes and spent time pushing the tempo all week. The young player on loan from Atlético de Madrid is now ready to play in the first place andIt will be Beccacece who will decide whether to keep Mourad at the start or bet on Borja Garcés..
In principle, no changes are expected for the rest of the team other than surprises. josan will continue on the right, Mario Gaspar, on the rear axle and Carlos Clerc middle rear and left rear position alternately. Áleix Febas is irreplaceable right now. Nico Fernández Mercau and Tete Morente in bands; Same way Oscar PlanoThe player who scored goals in midfield in the last three matches.
