Earthquake before Mlaga | Soccer

Elche defends its place in the promotion zone under the impact of the Vilar and Qasmi exits and the signings of Vctor and Jonathas. The Andalusian team, in full economic crisis, adds nine games without losing

“Let no one leave.” These words of Pacheta, repeated during the last month, hide a fear that, almost on the horn, became reality. The ilicitano team, sixth of the League, has lost in the last hours two of its franchise players: Gonzalo Villar, engine of the attack game, and Yacine Qasmi, his top scorer, transferred to Rome and Ray, respectively.

Two sensitive absences that at any other time would have led to depression, but that the sports direction of the Illicit club counteract with agility with two signings of enormous symbolic value for the fans.

Vctor Rodrguez and Jonathas de Jess, two of the heroes of the last Elche in First, return to the entity, even if it was after months without competing. Also Josema joins the project, a left-handed and young central to increase competition in the defensive zone.

All this movement of players and emotions must assimilate them in a record time the costumes of Elche, since this Saturday defends its newly released position in the promotion area in the Martnez Valero stadium before a streak in Malaga, since it adds nine days without knowing the defeat and is in full qualifying climb.

The technician, who will not be able to count on the injured Claudio Medina and Ivn Snchez, can already take advantage of the last signings, although it seems unlikely that any of them are incumbents, since they have been working for a few days with their new colleagues. Pacheta give continuity to the team that managed to win in his visit to leader Almera, with the only variation in attack of Pere Milla by the injured Qasmi.

Mlaga, led by the technician Sergio Pellicer, faces the game with uncertainty after the statements of the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, who indicated that the club needs two million to finish the championship. Pellicer will have the casualties for the injury of midfielder Albans Keidi Bare and defenders Mikel Villanueva and Diego Gonzlez; and the novelties are David Lombn, Algerian midfielder Mohamed Benkhemassa and striker Buenacasa, while the last signing, Tete Morente, is among those summoned and has a chance to debut.
