The coach of Elche, the Argentine Jorge Almirón, said this Friday that his team needs to obtain good results at this time of the season to gain confidence, as he recalled that it is a group in full construction after a deep renovation as a result of the promotion.
“We have a great opportunity to grow as a team and show improvement. The results are super important now to generate confidence, “said the coach., who said that he took advantage of the championship break “so that the players get to know each other and get to know me.”
Almirón assured that from half a table down “all the teams are very even” and that a “tough” match awaits Elche against Alavés because it is a rival that is already “assembled” with a coach “with experience in the First Division. ”.
The preparer, who described Alavés as a direct rival, said that all the newcomers are in good shape, “excited about the opportunity to play in the League” and ready to debut.
He also wished that, with more players already at his command and of quality, an “improvement in the game” would be noticed, since he considers that now Elche has players in its squad “to do better.”
“Every point is important and every game a final, so we have to compete ”, reiterated the coach, who did not justify the statistic that his team is the one that has generated the fewest scoring chances in the League.
“You have to improve the statistics and the feelings. We won in Eibar, but the idea is to do something else because the players who have arrived are important ”, explained Almirón, who praised the way in which the players who achieved promotion have welcomed all the new ones.
