Martín Anselmi, Argentine coach of Elche, analyzed the hard 0-5 defeat against Barcelona in LaLiga. The team did not have the expected debut at home and lost by five goals against the reigning champion. Anselmi recognized that his team had moments of equality and generated situations to reduce the gap, but lack of efficacy in the final third was decisive. He highlighted the second goal for Barcelona, scored by Karim Adeyemi just before halftime, stating it arrived when Elche felt their own goal was imminent. Despite the thrashing, Argentine coach Anselmi rules out major consequences in the group, asserting the squad must react quickly and return to work to prepare the next match. He also recalled the emotion of managing Elche's first home game this season, admitting he struggled to contain himself seeing the crowd at the stadium. '?No sequelae. Much pain from losing, but we must get up tomorrow to work. The result is not an excuse to stop doing things,' Anselmi said. The coach also noted Raphinha's celebration after the penalty, a Spider Man gesture, although Natalia Belloli, the Brazilian's partner, later explained it was requested by his son Gael. Elche debuted as local in LaLiga this season under Anselmi's direction.
