Brahian Cuello eager for his Unión debut: “I’m here to give 100%” | OneFootball

As the Unión team finalizes details to visit Lanús, one of the new signings of the transfer market is starting to fully immerse himself in the rojiblanca life. Brahian Cuello, a winger who joined alongside Matías Mansilla and Lucas Menossi, has not yet been cleared to compete, but he has already shared his first impressions as a tatengue player.

For now, the only reinforcement traveling to Buenos Aires is goalkeeper Mansilla. Cuello is awaiting documentation, and Menossi just joined his first practice this Wednesday.

“Happy to join a great club”

In an interview with Unión Play, Cuello expressed enthusiasm for this new stage. He confirmed that he will wear the number 22 jersey and did not hide his joy at joining Leonardo Madelón's team.

“I am happy to be here, to join this great club. Hopefully, it will be a great year,” said the player, who has already had his first contact with the group and the coaching staff.

A journey with experience in different leagues

The winger, born in Merlo, San Luis, shared how his path in professional football has been. After starting in his hometown, he made the leap to Estudiantes de San Luis, where he began playing in higher categories at a very young age.

“I was lucky that everything happened quickly: contract and four years in the Nacional B,” he recalled.

He then went through Almagro, Defensa y Justicia, and Instituto, before gaining experience in Ecuadorian football. About that stint abroad, he explained: “It's a nice football, less intense than the Argentine one. Home advantage is significant due to the altitude.”

What kind of player is joining Unión

Cuello described himself as a versatile player, capable of playing on both wings and even as an attacking midfielder, although in the first training sessions, he was tested on the left side.

“I am a player who will give my all, with sacrifice. I will always try to move forward, but also help in defense,” he assured.

Additionally, he highlighted the level of the squad he found in Santa Fe: “It's clear there's a good group and a good squad. They adapted me in the best way from day one.”

The impression Madelón left on him

The new signing also spoke about his initial talks with the rojiblanco coach. “It’s clear he is a coach with a lot of experience, who has things clear and knows how to lead the group,” he noted about Madelón.

Cuello especially valued the club's daily dynamics, with shared routines and comprehensive work: “The unity formed day by day is key. It’s an organized club where one must focus on training and playing.”

The mind, a key aspect

In increasingly demanding football, Cuello also emphasized the importance of mental work. He mentioned that he trains with a psychologist privately. “It helps a lot. Sometimes you keep things to yourself, and there you can see them from another perspective. When it’s your turn to play, you have to be prepared,” he explained.

Although he will not be able to play against Lanús yet, the winger is already excited about his arrival at the 15 de Abril. “When I came to play here, the fans always made their presence felt. That is also important,” he stated.

While waiting for clearance to debut, Cuello has already sent a clear message to the tatengue fan: “I come to give it my all and commit 100%.”
