Morcillo declared the upcoming Levante game a must‑win, insisting Elche must grab all three points to revive its winning rhythm.
He added that the short pause after the Betis loss could actually help the squad reset; in my view, a brief breather may restore confidence before the derby preparations kick in.
The midfielder admitted feeling powerless about the home slump, noting Elche has yet to taste victory at their stadium, yet he urged supporters to stay calm as lives hang in the balance.
According to the Catalan, Elche must simply convert the chances they create, believing the side has enough quality to secure better outcomes.
But the defeat highlighted issues that need fixing, and with the emotional tribute to the late Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel still fresh, Morcillo wondered: Can Elche turn the tide before the season’s end?
