coach Elche CF, Sebastian BeccaceceHe proposed a press conference for the important match his team will play this Thursday. Friday (20:30), at the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium, in front of Oviedo. Franjiverde coach gave assurance The defeat against Cartagena on the last day has long been forgottenHe stated that they are focusing on getting better than the current classification and on the path that will lead them to promotion, and warned about the difficulty of the Asturian team, which he sees as one of the candidates to compete with. promotion.
Is the team willing to make amends for the Cartagena defeat?
We are looking forward to it. We showed an excellent performance in the first half against Cartagena, but we could not perform as well in the second half. We have clear ideas and now we are only thinking of Oviedo. It will be a difficult and challenging match because they, along with us, are one of the stronger opponents on their home field. We go to this group with great faith. We are ending a period in which we knew how to overcome difficulties and adopt an idea and a style. Classification is defined in May or June, with learning and evolution continuing to unfold in between.
It’s an important match for both teams and a lot changes from win to loss…
The road is a 42-day competition and what happens in the middle is about urgency and emergencies. We aim to fight until the end. The league does not end with a result. In the end it will be seen who is on top. The idea and style is what should lead us to the dream fight (promotion). We cannot get into that madness and what we have to do is fight with the dream, dedication and determination that this team has.
After seeing what happened against Cartagena, what impressed you most this week was avoiding making mistakes from set pieces?
Concentration is always decisive in standing balls and moving movements. In Cartagena’s first goal, we had 10 players behind the ball and there was no carelessness. This was more the merit of the opponent. In the second one, we were thinking of attacking more and there was a lack of communication between Josan and Diego González. The passion of this noble and generous team is always to win, and sometimes when you cannot win, you have to try, or at least draw; This led us to make mistakes.
Are you happy with what you’ve seen so far?
The team naturally finds what we want. There are negativities such as injuries and sanctions that affect continuity. I’m happy with the time we’re in because I knew it would be complicated. We were on the verge of achieving a fourth consecutive victory, something Elche had failed to achieve for years, and they did it in Second B. Also, I looked at the history and it’s been a long time since we had 3 wins. a row and we did this twice. and the children were able to show themselves because it would have been difficult. We will fight for our dreams with effort, work, dedication and love and the result will not affect us.
Are Borja Garcés and Sergio León ready to be starters?
Borja (Garcés) is suffering from a slight illness and has been sidelined for two days, and Sergio (Léon) is far from the high intensity we are aiming for. He also has some last minute ailments and we are waiting for medical tests to be done to see what to do. Like every group, we need to pull ourselves together and compete. We played with Nico Fernández and Tete on the right all season and the sports commission, headed by Sergio (Mantecón), is working to find alternatives. We played with those present, and this is part of our daily life: solving the negativities that arise, giving it our all.
Oviedo won five of the six matches they played at home…
Under the previous coach (Álvaro Cervera) they were already strong, and with the current coach (Luis Carrión) they gained a little more organization, initiative in attack… a very cautious team, dangerous and unbalanced in intercepted balls. He will be a candidate who will fight for promotion and will be a very careful opponent. We will try to implement our own game conditions, then the details will come.
Do you plan to rotate with two matches on Friday and Tuesday?
Let’s see how the uncomfortable players are. But this group reinvents itself when necessary and is capable of overcoming challenges. They are a very generous, humble and hard-working team and it shows.
