INFORMATION

Beccacece’s press conference

Beccacece spoke to the media about a number of topics during his wide-ranging briefing, with a particular warning about the danger of the upcoming clash with Villarreal B, despite the current position in LaLiga Hypermotion. The Argentine coach reflected on his time with Elche, his evolving view of his role, and any lingering doubts ahead of Sunday. Mourad has recovered, and there is optimism that Mario Gaspar and Carreira may also be available.

Sunday match

“This is a challenge since we face an opponent that has been undefeated at home for seven matches, a team with significant individual talent and a strong collective approach. To stay on our current path, we must demand the best from ourselves and execute our plan. If they disrupt us, we will respond. We do not let the table dictate our reality; Villarreal B remains a very careful opponent.”

“They have a long-standing coach and a clear playing style. We must play our football, create danger without inviting it upon ourselves.”

“Matches against affiliates test both the opponent and the team’s identity. The aim is to keep control and make good decisions, even when breaking structures is necessary. How can one attack regularly without players who can unlock defenses? If those players aren’t available, risks must be taken to threaten the opponent.”

Change of opinion in the environment

“There are supporters who stand by us no matter what, others who shift with the results, and some who cling to outcomes. The focus must be on what we do day by day, what I feel, what I want, and what I believe should happen. The goal is a shared dream and it is pursued with humility and calm. There have been joys and setbacks; both are part of a career. In every case, learning to live with them is essential, and it makes me proud to see how committed the players are.”

“It’s also heartening to see Villarreal’s supporters who back their team. The hope is that this mutual support grows stronger and spreads through the sport.”

Losses to consider for the match

“Mourad trained normally, which is a positive sign. It remains to be seen whether Carreira and Mario Gaspar will be available.”

7 keys to Elche’s development

JA Galvan

Win the League, as Nico Fernández said

“Nico understands that daily work is essential. He’s a kid from the neighborhood with a natural love for the game, and that curiosity shapes the resources he uses. His words are clear: there’s no room for arrogance, just constant focus on each match. The team remains alert and determined as it approaches every test.”

Villareal B

“They’ve shown resilience at home for a long spell. It will be interesting to see if the history changes. Elche hasn’t beaten Villarreal B there before, but this is a valuable opportunity to compete with honest and noble teams. The aim is to connect with the football and the people.”

“The visitors’ strikers move well in space and show smart instincts. They will pose challenges in both defense and attack. The plan calls for a disciplined approach, intense work, and full use of all senses because Villarreal B can always threaten.”

Nico Castro as midfielder

“There is also the possibility of keeping him in midfield, as John could return. Each game brings small changes. The coach likes flexibility and expects players to evolve beyond starting ideas. Everything is analyzed closely and decisions are made with care. Neutralizing opponents is easier than creating, so a consistent approach helps.”

Murad

“Mourad’s example is one of persistence and discipline when things don’t go as hoped. It’s simple to surrender under pressure, but mental strength keeps players performing and growing.”

Opportunities for young players

“Balancing youth and experience is ideal, though it requires timing. Young players bring energy, determination, and a touch of rebellion that can lift the team. The mix is right and working.”

Making the most of time in Elche

“This is a rich learning journey, with experiences across different levels of competition. The squad has transformed, with renewed enthusiasm after relegation. The process is paying off as players rediscover their drive.”
