The postmatch feelings were clear for coach Sebastian Beccacece. He described the moment as satisfying and earned, a reward for a team that finally tasted victory away from home, in the Martínez Valero stadium. He called the final score fair, while acknowledging that the game demanded patience and resilience from his players as they navigated several tense phases.
We knew the fixture would present a tough challenge. Yet the squad delivered a robust and disciplined performance across the field, turning the balance in their favor when it mattered most. In the opening stages, Elche managed to impose themselves with intent, creating a momentum that gradually shaped the tenor of the match. The coach’s comments after the final whistle highlighted the importance of maintaining intensity and collective effort throughout the 90 minutes as the key to breaking the deadlock.
Beccacece noted that Huesca seized the initiative after taking the lead in the 20th minute, but he stressed that Elche emerged as the stronger force after the break. He pointed out a moment of calmness eluding them in the first half, suggesting that a VAR-awarded penalty could have provided more stability. Still, the team remained vigilant defensively in the closing minutes, fighting through adversity to seal a hard-earned win. He emphasized that achieving the first league victory on the road was a meaningful milestone, earned through focus, discipline, and belief in the plan.
The Elche coach addressed questions from local media about the club’s economic capacity. He noted that the team operates with solid financial backing yet chooses to spend carefully. Several strikers were moved on in the final days of the transfer window, limiting expenditure. He stressed that Elche is not the most expensive squad in the division. The coach added that the available resources could be redirected toward future market opportunities. Still, he commended a generous group of players who fight daily to help Elche realize the shared dream of the players and the fans.
The Argentinian coach reminded everyone that the season remains lengthy and fiercely competitive. He warned that any opponent can challenge them, regardless of past results, and that every inch of the pitch and every second of play matters. He spoke of daily empowerment through humility and commitment as the best way to honor the supporters who continue to back the club, even amid the long road back to the top of the table.
In his closing remarks, the coach underscored the importance of collective effort and the ongoing work to strengthen the squad. He remains focused on the broader objective and the road ahead, confident that the club’s supporters will continue to stand with them as they strive for progression and stability in the league season.
