A brilliant 2-0
{mb_sdlf_jugador_SDLF-jugador_frase-destacada}Marcet Elevies delivers a tactical football masterclass against UDU Bellvitge
The Marcet Elevies team secured a convincing victory against UD Unificación Bellvitge in the Under-19 category. The final score of 2-0 not only reflects the home team’s superiority but also their ability to capitalize on key moments.
First half: control without results
From the opening whistle, Elevies displayed their characteristic style based on possession and territorial dominance. Led by the security of Diaz Granados in defense and the precise distribution of Bello in midfield, they managed to keep the ball for 60.1% of the time, demonstrating their superiority over their opponent’s 39.9%.
However, despite registering 17 total shots in the game, the first half ended goalless. The opposition, supported by a compact defensive block led by the center-back, managed to neutralize Marcet’s most dangerous attempts, such as Polegatti‘s shot in the 13th minute, which forced the visiting goalkeeper to shine.
Decisive moments
The second half brought key changes to Marcet’s strategy. The entry of Davitadze, the “midfield architect,” transformed the offensive game. In the 46th minute, after a sequence of elaborate passes reminiscent of Guardiola’s best FC Barcelona, Davitadze finished a masterful play with a powerful shot that opened the scoring.
The second goal came in the 59th minute, courtesy of Molina Vieira. This “guardian of the air” capitalized on a penalty provoked by Zambrano to seal the victory. Vieira’s composure and calmness while taking the penalty are reminiscent of Sergio Ramos‘ finest moments from the spot.
The numbers support teamwork
The match data highlights Marcet’s collective efficiency. With a passing accuracy rate of 70.5%, compared to the visitor’s 50.6%, and an average player rating of 7.1 among the home team, it is clear that this victory was no fluke. Additionally, the team completed six corner kicks and generated constant danger from the flanks, where Alaoui-Mrani and Saman shone brightly.
An MVP that raises the bar
Davitadze‘s performance was undoubtedly MVP-worthy. His vision of the game, combined with his ability to deliver precise passes in the final third, makes him the team’s “engine.” Comparing his performance to Toni Kroos would not be an exaggeration. His influence on the opening goal and his constant presence in offensive transitions position him as a key player for Elevies’ immediate future.
A comparison with the greats
Marcet Elevies recalls the 2019 Ajax team with its blend of youth, talent, and tactical organization. This team not only aims to win but also seeks to showcase an attractive style that reflects the principles of football education.
The victory of Marcet Elevies over Bellvitge not only grants them three vital points but also reaffirms their position as one of the most exciting projects in youth football. With players like Davitadze and Molina Vieira leading the way, the future looks as promising as their performance today.
