Elche coach Sebastián Beccacece, He returned from the Christmas break with a clear problem up front and some doubts in his midfield., where two players are permanent (Febas and Tete Morente), but two other places are more doubtful. Overall, the Rosario coach has a well-defined eleven but was only able to repeat the starting lineup three times from one match to the next in the first round of the championship. Injuries and sanctions had a significant impact. Additionally, the performance of some parts is low. And you look at the signatures.
Beccacece made his first team repeat for the first time on matchday 16In mid-November. The previous match, one of Elche’s most complete matches, was “guilty”. Martínez Valero’s 2-0 score against Real Zaragoza was the trigger for the first replay of the eleven.
first recurring
This happened in the 11th over with a group led by Miguel San Román with the sticks; The defense formed by Josan Ferrández, Mario Gaspar, Diego González and Carlos Clerc; Nico, Febas, Guti and Tete Morente in the middle of the field; and Mourad and Óscar Plano as the attackers. The goals against Maños came from the second striker and the Andalusian winger.
The next matchday was played at home against Espanyol on 18 November. The result is 2-0 against Franjiverdes.
twice in a row
The second and third time Elche repeated the eleven took place immediately afterwards, on matchdays 18 and 19. These eleven were similar to the one previously mentioned; the only changes were Bigas for Diego González and Nico Castro for Raúl Guti. The leader and the goalkeeper remained. On matchday 17, Elche beat Amorebieta 2-0 with goals from Morente and Mario Gaspar. In the next match, the goals came from Óscar Plano and another Andalusian winger. 0-2 at Alcorcón home.
A repeat of the starting eleven yielded results this time, but not the next time, when Elche took Cartagena. and were left behind to be forgotten by Gonzalo Verdú’s men in the second half. Óscar Plano scored another goal for the Franjiverde club in what was definitely the best first half for the Beccacece team. After the reboot, everything changed.
target change
The Franjiverde coach had to face a difficult change. Edgar Badia was the starter for the first seven days. The “Aziz” had the support of the stands, but their performance had definitely dropped compared to the previous season. Beccacece handed the opportunity to Miguel San Román after a 4-0 win at Burgos. He made his debut for Martínez Valero in a 0–0 draw against Levante. And he remained in possession.
Other lines
On defense, four men stand out from the rest. They missed very little and only through injury or sanction. Beccacece’s regular defenders Josan, who plays on the right wing, made 15 starts and played 1,292 minutes in the 17 matches he played; Right centre-back Mario Gaspar made 17 starts and played 1,476 minutes – two of which he missed due to being sent off – in the same matches; Pedro Bigas, who made 19 starts and played 1,593 minutes in similar matches, is on the left wing; and left-hander Carlos Clerc became the Rosario coach’s most used player, with 20 starts and 1,785 minutes in as many matches.
Of the least seen, Diego González is the most notable with 355 minutes, while others such as Salinas, Lautaro, Carreira and Álex Martín have less than 300 minutes.
There are two important names for Beccacece in the center of the field: Aleix Febas and Tete Morente. Or three, because Nico Fernández Mercau could join them perfectly. The Catalan made 19 starts while playing 1,734 minutes in 21 matches played. Morente is repeating those numbers despite less than 80 minutes of playing time. The Argentine made 19 starts in 20 matches and 1,605 minutes. Nico Castro is challenging for fourth place as a Franjiverde midfielder with 953 minutes in 17 appearances, 12 starts; Fidel with similar figures; and Raúl Guti played four times in the first 11 and 990 minutes.
Front part is big problem
Departure of Ezequiel Ponce, Pere Milla and Lucas BoyéThe season, which was completed in the summer, caused the team’s biggest problem to be experienced in a very specific area, attack. Sergio León and Borja Garcés arrived and together with Óscar Plano and Mourad had to be responsible for the goals of the franjiverdes. Both Leon and Garcés suffered one or more serious injuries and played little. The first 486 minutes were completed with only 5 starts. The second, 350th in three. Óscar Plano, who was injured for the rest of the championship, was the most used player by Beccacece and the team’s top scorer. He appeared in all 21 matches, starting 13 times and playing 1,099 minutes in total. Mourad follows him with 11 starts, 17 matches and 972 minutes.
