Elche’s coach Sebastián Beccacece drew attention to the warnings that should be taken in the football world at the press conference he held today. Although the final results were accompanied by four wins (five if we count the Cup) and two draws. The coach acknowledged that the emotions he felt during the week or on the day of the appointment “may or may not have been related to the development of the game at the time the referee blew the whistle.” We won matches after normal or bad preparation days and lost matches where the week was very good.“.
A positive mood?
Beccacece doesn’t really believe in mental states to face games. “We expect the dynamics to be positive, but I think the previous week leaves emotions and it does on match day as well, which may or may not have anything to do with the result. Time and experience put one in a place where one has to experience everything. We try to establish a regularity. That’s the important thing. The biggest challenge is to impose our conditions in every game. I experience these the same way. It’s about honor, loyalty, prestige, the identity of the team… I am extremely respectful of the opponent, the profession, the people who come to see us, and also the institution. I truly believe in never leaving anything behind and allowing the team to do the same. If the mood is positive, we may come away with better feelings, but the playing field is where everything takes shape.“, concrete.
Are you making any special preparations for the match because it is Espanyol?
“Playing against such an important opponentA player like Espanyol who is a big candidate for promotion is always something that motivates. But this group is equally motivated to play against Europa or Linares. Always We approach our opponent with great respect and we do not work differently than planning. It is true that there is a special preparation for the fans, especially considering that Espanyol is a big candidate. But this category has one feature. You can compete with your rival with a cheaper and more determined staff. That’s the beauty of the Second. Anyone can deal with anyone. I continue to bet on the group we have, I trust them and we have prepared them for a complex match like everyone else.” But for the Rosario coach, the main thing is this: “We put the energy into it. The important thing is to continue to work on a better functioning and a better version of the team is to. “With great care because we still have a lot to improve and achieve a solid style.”
intense rivalry
Regarding the opponent, Beccacece underlines that “they are one of the most intense teams with long routes, high speed and great strength in attack. It is true that they have recently changed their coaches, but they continue to play a very direct game.”He is very good at taking set pieces and the strength of his players is very good.” Therefore, the coach underlines that among the important points of the game, “we must defend very well and, above all, attack as close to our own area as possible. Let’s see if this possibility exists in the visit scenario. This also leads us to take on the risks inherent in our style of play. We must believe in our virtues at the expense of knowing that we are taking risks because of the way we play. “We have to know where to take those risks.”
Will they be able to take advantage of their opponent’s uneasiness?
“There is a hypothesis that they will experience irritability. Then there is the concrete one, which is what is happening in the game. As long as there is a team prepared in a way that knows how to co-exist at different moments of the game.For or against and for the team to maintain consistency… That’s our goal. To be a team ready to dominate and then draw or suffer. “This is our desire.”
Did you talk to Pere Milla about the dressing room meeting?
“He is undoubtedly a player who left his legacy here, very charismatic and loved by the group, but no, we did not talk about him specifically, about Esnapyol and, above all, about Elche. We can want and we can. We focused our energy on our group, our union, our daily life. From here I will give him (Pere MIlla) a big hug and when I see him, I will congratulate him on becoming a new father. And that seems very important to me.”
How was the Madrid meeting?
“This is a very sensitive topic because there is always a point in putting ourselves in the other’s shoes. I think we were looking for a peaceful meeting point at the time when the declaration was published. It seems to me that everyone (coach, referee, manager) is doing their best to find the balance. Seems to me it’s getting there. After that, We will continue to make mistakes. It is very difficult not to do this. You have to accept it and sometimes it’s hard. We must try to put ourselves in the other’s shoes. There are some mistakes that are very painful. There is no doubt about the honorable part of each. A failure like Levante or Espanyol, despite the effort of Huesca… I hope we don’t have to talk about these and we can talk about the game. However, we know that these situations will occur. The best thing would be for these to decrease because we have the support of VAR. I have encountered many situations where I was wrong. “Sometimes you lose control, we are emotional beings and make mistakes like everyone else.”
The importance of the sports city…
“This is a dream for me, not for Elche. Knowing Christian (Bragarnik), it does not surprise me. The sports city is vital because it invites a player to want to come too. The peace of mind of having your own place, your space. I know he will do this because I know him. The stadium and the club’s structure were improved. Such topics always make him very nervous. I am excited that Elche can have this infrastructure and start laying the first stone. It is very necessary for the sports institution. “This is excellent news.”
healing of injuries
“The spirit is very good when you win injured players, but it needs to be evaluated every week. “The system quickly erases the past and puts you in the present. All times exist depending on what is happening. The spirit is beautiful, but we are aware that we need to examine ourselves every week to strengthen our style. We have not yet achieved success in promotion, but we have strengthened an identity group with players in new positions who are enjoying this discovery. There is a huge amount of work behind this process. We will continue to move forward on this path without losing sight of the urgency of winning. Our aim is to ensure that the football player is in a better state and feels good with his fans and teammates. “We want to win as urgently as we want, but what is important for us is the way we walk on this path.”
Are they going to the match with the aim of being the leading player on the ball?
“I have no idea because I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. We are going with the mentality of winning, but we have to do the whole 100 minutes of development and anything can happen in that time. We want to do what we do. But “If we have to defend, we know how to do it. The important thing is that we know what to do when the ball is in our possession. The opponent is a great candidate. We’re so excited, and we said, “I know this is going to be very complicated.”
John’s problems
“This is a very special matter. It was expected that he would race on these dates anyway. But I don’t know what will happen. As the day goes by, they are trying not to feel uncomfortable when he tries to come back.” “I would love for him to be like that, but I can’t say more because it has more to do with the doctors.”
