The end of Elche Fidel Chaves assured this Thursday that his team is convinced of being able to harm the Seville in the match that both teams will play at the Martínez Valero stadium this Saturday.

“If we could have chosen, we would have chosen to play overtime. They will come more tired, but they have a great coach and, with such a large squad, they won't notice it much ”, argued Fidel, who is convinced that Elche will achieve permanence.
“We are all aware that we are in a difficult situation, but the team has never lost face to the category. We are going to leave our skin and we are convinced that we are going to move forward, “he said.
Fidel, one of the two survivors on the staff from the previous stage of Fran Escribá, said that he did not appreciate differences in the current way of working of the coach and recalled that they lived together “very nice things”, In relation to a promotion and permanence.
The Andalusian footballer did point out several differences with respect to the previous coach, Jorge Almiron, to whom he was grateful for his trust.
“Everyone has their own way of seeing football. Now we play with two forwards and with Almirón we couldn't have them together. Before you took more risks and now we are more orderly and aggressive. They are different styles, ”he explained.
Fidel said he had the muscle injury is over toughest of his career, although he admitted that he has not yet reached “the spark and the rhythm of before”.
The extreme did not rule out being used by Escribá in the midfield, something Almirón already did, and predicted a fight for permanence “very close” until the end of the championship as there were “many teams involved”.
