Story highlight

Elche will face Alaves on Tuesday because he is another great player and football fans waiting to be relegated to the league. Coaches Elche and Alavesa shared with WION their thoughts on key games in Spain's top league. 

This season's battle to stay in Spain's leading flight was nothing but a thriller. Though La Liga's top four sides continue to compete for its prized trophy, at least six teams are battling hard to save their League status in Spain in an impassive relegation struggle. 

The other humming is waiting for football fans at the relegation battle in LaLiga on Tuesday. While Elche is 19th in league with 30 points in 36 matches, the Alaves are 16th, with 34 points in 35 matches in LaLiga, just outside the relegation zone. 

There is nothing to distinguish between the last game of the league, but Elche will have Real Valladolid and Alaves simultaneously. Elche defeated Levante and won a decisive victory but has since lost to Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad. Elche is optimistic about the survival of the minor league: Fran Escort Fran Escrip’s team was transferred to La Liga last season and will face Cadiz and Bilba in the 2020/21 season. The E-sports is over, but a defeat by Alaves will bring them to a standstill. 

"Apart from our game, the most important thing is that they did not fight us. The result is not good for us, but it is not good for us. We have the same chance; we have 6 teams. Obviously, the higher scorers have More opportunities, but I think we are good, and the remaining games are a bit less. Of course, this is the definition of a game. Since we are direct competitors, if we win, we will surpass at the poker table. 

This is the "great final" because we have already said that the game will be the final. This will affect the only team that directly competes with us. 

Elche

Does Elche's loss at Real Sociedad affect Elche's confidence to improve his performance, not to suffer defeat? Write acknowledged that the results of other teams over the weekend will make the team frustrated, and optimism will play an important role. Role in determining your season.  

"The Friday after the game was disappointing. We did more in the game than before, but we performed well in terms of will and order, but this was conditional from the beginning. The team did not suffer much loss. But although this failure is conditional, if we continue to believe that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday results gave us a little encouragement, obviously after the results left us.

Everything is the same; people are optimistic about us. Obviously, because people expressed optimism and trust in the team on the street, there are also such people in the team," Escrip added. On Saturday, head coach Javier Calleja, who has been coach of Alaves since the beginning of April, made his mark in the league after a 2-2 draw with Levante. He won two or three games and only lost one game—his six games. 

We only know how to win the game: Javier Calleja El Glorioso (Javier Calleja El Glorioso) ranks ninth, fourteenth, and eleventh in this football level for the fifth consecutive season and then Ranked 16th in the Place rankings for the 2019-20 season. 

According to the classification, he only scored 2 points after Huesca, ranking second, ranking 18th, and maybe in trouble due to the loss to Elche.

Leaves 

Leaves should point out that Alaves had two difficult starts at the end of the La Liga season as they hosted Granada and faced Sevilla on the last day. 

This is a crucial game. We have to play against our direct opponent. If he wins, we will leave him with 5 points, but there are 6 points left, so of course, this is the basic game. We will be like many others. Think of it as the final. He has lived here ever since. But we know there is less and less time left now," 

Kallie told WION when LaLiga shared. "We don't know how to play to avoid losing; we just know how to play to win. This is my way of thinking. I don't know how to face a tie. Therefore, I try to teach the team not to make assumptions. We have to focus on the game. We have to do this in 90 minutes, no wait, let time pass so that the opponent can become stronger and feel comfortable. We have to work hard to win. You have to be able to play, to be smart and calm, but we can't. A minute wasted, and nothing will happen,"
