The arrival of Fran Escribá on the Elche bench has served to oxygenate the locker room. With the Valencian in front, all players start from the same starting square. The door of opportunities is fully opened in a depressed group to date, in relegation places and after 16 days without winning.
Write will make a clean slate. Almirón's stage is already buried and the new technician is working hard to instill his method. Write will start from scratch from next Saturday against Eibar, although from the first day he set foot on Elche soil, the players try to make merit to gain the confidence of the new coach.
There are many footballers who were ostracized with Almirón and that from now on they glimpse a new horizon. Nino, the franjiverde legend, is one of them. The Almerian barely had the Argentine and now he hopes to have more minutes. Elche needs goals and experience and Vera's can contribute that. So far, he has only played 188 minutes in the league and has not started. With Escribá, he hopes to change that role.
Victor is in a similar situation. The midfielder did not count for much for Almirón, despite the problems in the creation and the lack of talent in the core. The Catalan also wants to gain the trust of Escribá, whom he knows from the Valencian's previous stage at Martínez Valero.
Mfulu, Barragán, Dani Calvo, Luismi and Pere Milla, among others, they also depart zero. Escribá will now have to assess whether they can contribute to the new Elche, since with Almirón they were almost exiled. As for the quarry, the Valencian coach will have to assess his role. There have been many young people who have completed the calls, such as John, Salinas, Diego Bri or Jony Álamo. There are also footballers in the subsidiary, such as Hugo Esteban (Third's top scorer), who are knocking on the door of the first team and Escribá will have to decide whether to open it.
