Lucas Meuli: Focused on Unión, aiming to make my debut here | OneFootball

The reserve goalkeeper of Unión, who was the standout figure of the team yesterday by saving two penalties in the shootout against the Tucumanos, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Projection tournament, dreams of making his long-awaited debut in the First Division.

Yes, yes, as you say, I try to apply what I have learned, a bit of what I have learned from my experiences, both in the First Division and in the Reserves. I try to give them advice, as I was telling you today, it's not just Santiago, Misael, there's also Giacone, Peresuti who are emerging, Isla, Ayala, and I don't want to forget anyone, but they are having a good moment.

Last week we had a training session against the First Division, it went very well, we played on equal terms and I know they are in a great moment that they shouldn't let slip by.

Yes, obviously it's important for us, both Madelon and Moncho, and Fede, are behind us, behind the young players, they come to watch the training sessions.

The other day when we had a football practice, the reserve boys, they were there, it was on Monday when they were also playing and they were present, and for the boys, it's very important to see them there, to see that they pay attention, and well, I tell them to try to enjoy the moment and keep working.

Yes, as you say, it's a challenge, it's about working day by day, not faltering mentally, because if you fall into that mental slump, it's very difficult to get out, I try to work on it daily with the psychologist and discuss it afterwards, discuss it with the coaches and well, wait for the opportunity to present itself in the professional squad, and if it's not here, I will evaluate what I need to evaluate in December and look for new opportunities, but today my focus is on Unión, today my focus is to debut here and well, we are waiting for the opportunity.

Yes, as I was saying, this group, I mentioned it to you today, the team, the work that Nico, Juan, well I don't want to forget the guys, it's absolutely fantastic, superb, they have been at the club for two years and came to bring enthusiasm, they came to bring good energy, notice that they were left out of a semifinal in the first tournament they took on, they were left out with San Lorenzo, then we were left out with Central, today we had a rematch, we secured a spot in the quarterfinals, but well, I don't want to stop thanking them for the good energy they came to provide.
