Emelec conditioned its presence in the playoffs of the LigaPro after its defeat against Macará in Bellavista. At the beginning of the season, the process of Argentine Mariano Soso did not yield the expected results and he was removed from his position.
- Rescalvo: Macará, a team that plays primitive soccer
The arrival of Ismael Rescalvo, with a good past in Independiente del Valle, promised an improvement in the performance of Emelec and a new philosophy in the tactical scheme. However, the reality is that today the millionaire team is out of the playoffs zone and only one more defeat - in the remaining seven matches - would virtually eliminate them.
Next, the performance of Emelec's managers in 2019:
With Mariano Soso: 9 matches played, 4 won, 1 draw, 4 lost, 7 goals scored, 6 goals conceded, 13 points out of 27 possible, with a 48.15% performance.
With Ismael Rescalvo: 12 matches played, 4 wins, 1 draw, 7 defeats, 14 goals scored, 16 goals conceded, 13 points out of 36 possible, with a 36.11% performance.
Curiosity about Soso: If Emelec had continued with him, they would be in the playoffs, because his 48.15% performance exceeded the 47.83% that El Nacional currently has, which is in eighth place.
Rescalvo's redeeming quality: He is the only Emelec coach this year who won 4 consecutive matches, between rounds 14 and 17.
Comparison: With Soso, they conceded a goal every 135 minutes, but scored one every 115 minutes and 42 seconds. With Rescalvo, they concede a goal every 67 minutes and 30 seconds, but score every 77 minutes and 8 seconds. (D)
