Lack of concentration, lack of foresight, imbalancesThe general theory is that by attacking too much you leave the defense defenseless... Defensive fragility affects Elche CF In this first round of the competition, this prevented him from placing higher in the qualifying standings.
There’s a football saying that says this. Forwards win games, defenders win championships. There are some exceptions and this happens when you are a team that scores a lot of goals; This is not the case for the entire group. Beccacece.
Green Franjires They are the only team in the top 10 who have conceded more goals than they have scored.. And if they do not change in this respect, it will be difficult to fight for the goal of promotion.
In the last two meetingsThe team from Elche has a chance to be in the top six, conceded five goalstwo in front Cartagena at home and three last Friday Oviedo. It is unacceptable for a team with the title of favorite and candidate to return to the First League.
Moreover, While they were ahead on the scoreboard and their game was going well, they saw their goals conceded. After adding the last 6 points they almost pocketed, Elche will now be second in the direct promotion table.
It is one of the issues that needs to be improved and a lot of attention should be paid to this. Beccacece will play the last match of the first round against Mirandés at Martínez Valero next Tuesday (21.30). And first of all we look at the second part of the championship.
Franjiverdes scored 22 goals and conceded 21 goals.A statistical data that clearly shows the pending problem of the Elche team.
Another obvious fact is that The two away wins in the first round, at Huesca (0-1) and at Alcorcón (0-2), were the only occasions where they managed to keep a clean sheet..
HE Leader Leganés is the team that has conceded the fewest goals with 11 matches remaining.. HE Valladolid, They had the same points as Elche in second place, but four more points (25). HE Sport GijonThe third saw his goal penetrated just 14 times.
He scored 31 goals while Espanyol scored 21 goals. Eibar, on the other hand, scored more goals than Elche (25) and became the top scorer with 35 goals.
It is very important to maintain the balance between goals scored and conceded. and above all being a defensively reliable team, something Elche failed to demonstrate in this first round.
Additionally, most of the goals scored came with the following result: own mistakes.
This is true Beccacece’s bet The inclusion of many players in the offensive game and the defensive line being very developed, carries certain risks. The rivals have already got the license plates of the Franjiverdes and they know how to hurt them.
goal controversy
San Román’s five goals conceded in the last two matches reignited the debate. About who should be the goalkeeper of the Elche team.
After the first days Beccacece decided to bench Edgar Badia and bet on San Román..
The Benidorm native had an excellent performance, the Argentinian coach especially liked his performance Greater agility when playing with the feet to enable the ball to be played from the back.
However, two of the three goals scored in Oviedo last Friday came with the following result: Benidorm goalkeeper’s mistakes in goal kicks. And the third time he managed to do something else.
In principle, No further changes are expected and there is full confidence in San Román. Even though Elche has two guaranteed goalkeepers and any of them is ready to defend Elche’s goal.
