Elche won in Andorra and continues to believe
Elche CF’s coach Sebastian Beccacece spoke with evident satisfaction after the team’s important victory in Andorra la Vella National Stadium. He described the match as very balanced, facing an opponent that played with ambition and heart. The ball was in constant motion, and Andorra showed a well-defined style with persistent movement and dangerous wingers, making it hard to connect in the final third. Elche enjoyed more possession, yet found it difficult to translate that into clear chances. The coach emphasized that despite those challenges, his side was sharper in the key moments and valued the win highly.
Regarding the final stretch of the game, Beccacece highlighted early moments of opportunity, including a strong chance from Tete Morente. He noted that dominance becomes clearer as the clock winds down, even in a hard-fought, balanced contest. The Argentinian coach stressed the players’ concentration and warned of the opponent’s capacity to create danger with fast transitions. He commended the willingness to take risks one-on-one and expressed happiness for the fans and the city. He encouraged continued effort and growth, praising the team’s dedication and collective spirit.
The bench scene before the match was calm but focused, underscoring the team’s readiness. Beccacece again praised the decision to keep a clean sheet, a sign of solid defense. He acknowledged the depth of the squad, noting that even without adding new faces, the group can present a strong identity. Gratitude for the players’ commitment was a recurring theme, along with belief in what the group can achieve with time and consistency.
Elche secured a fourth away win and collected seven of the possible nine points in the second round. Beccacece attributed this to the ongoing process, stressing the importance of growth and a clear style rather than chasing weekly rankings. If the team embraces its method and watches progress unfold, the results will follow. The focus remains on developing a shared idea and watching it mature on the field.
For a new support in Elche, Andorra
Franjiverde’s coach reflected on the summer market, noting that the team started slowly with three points from nine. The current period has shown better management of those early setbacks. The squad has learned from past experiences, secured seven points from nine, and kept three clean sheets. The emphasis is on evolution, growth, and peace. It is a long journey, and the goal is not a single victory but sustained progress. Fans are excited, and the leadership is prepared to take responsibility. If new players arrive, great. If not, the team will face the remainder of the season with honesty and determination, and the coach asks for continued support and respect for the players.
When asked about whether this is the moment of strongest confidence, Beccacece described football as a long process with ups and downs. He praised the team’s toughness, defensive discipline, and bold decision making. He contrasted Elche’s ambitious gameplay with other teams that have found success in Andorra, noting that Elche won through a distinctive approach and risk-taking. Three points remain identical in value, but for those who defend the project, the feeling is different and more meaningful.
Beccacece dedicated the victory to teammates facing tough moments, and to colleagues who long to be with the squad. He spoke of a family that grows daily and stays united in adversity, underscoring the collective spirit that sustains the club through challenging times. The coach expressed his gratitude for the group and their perseverance, reinforcing the sense of unity within the squad.
Looking ahead, Beccacece mentioned ongoing transfer discussions, noting that both the club and its supporters would like to see reinforcements. He emphasized that the club knows what it needs, and the leadership is actively pursuing it. If the players arrive, they will be welcomed; if not, the team will continue with the current core and pursue the remaining ambitions with honesty and resolve. Above all, he urged respect for the footballers as the foundation of the project.
