The Elche coach, Francisco Rodríguez, assured this Sunday, after the victory against Villarreal (1-0), that they are “more of a team” every day, although he specified that they must continue with that improvement because they have not yet achieved anything.
“The three points are very important, but I stay with the way in which we have added them”, commented the coach from Almería, who wanted to dedicate the victory to his teammates from the coaching staff and players infected by COVID-19.
“We have taken the game where it had to be done & rdquor ;, indicated Francisco, who was not on the bench due to suspension, about the tactical approach to give value to the victory against a rival “who had added thirteen of the last fifteen points and was playing very well”.
“We have taken away all the options & rdquor ;, reiterated Francisco, who was pleased that little by little Elche has begun to acquire the personality that he intends to implant.
The coach, who explained that Chilean Enzo Roco’s last-minute withdrawal was due to discomfort in a calf, described it as “fantastic & rdquor; having added seven of the last nine points in play.
“Twenty-two points is not enough for us, so we have to continue. We are improving, but we have not achieved anything. You have to be humble”, insisted the Andalusian coach, who pointed out that the key to the change experienced by Elche is “having formed a team”.
Finally, he said that Elche will face the Cup tie against Real Madrid next Thursday with the intention of “enjoying & rdquor; Y “make it hard” to the rival, although he recalled the numerous casualties they suffer, so this time he will not make rotations since they are “the just ones”.
