Lucas Meuli: “Right now my focus is on Unión, I want to make my debut here” | OneFootball

The reserve goalkeeper for Unión, who yesterday was the team’s standout player by saving two penalties in the shootout against the Tucumanos, securing a spot in the quarterfinals of the Proyección tournament, and who dreams of finally making his long-awaited debut in the First Division.

Yes, yes, just as you say, I try to approach it with what I’ve learned, a bit from my experiences both in the First Division and in the Reserves. I try to give advice, like I was saying today, not only to Santiago, Misael, but also Giacone, Peresuti who are emerging, Isla, Ayala, and I don’t want to forget anyone, but they’re all having a great moment.

Last week we had a training session against the First Division team, it went really well, we played as equals and I know they’re in a fantastic moment that they shouldn’t let slip by.

Yes, obviously it’s important for us, both Madelón and Moncho, as well as Fede, are behind us, supporting the guys, they come to watch the training sessions.

The other day when we had a practice match, the reserve guys, they were there, it was on Monday when they also had a game and they were present, and for the kids it’s very important to see them there, to see that they’re paying attention, and well, I tell them to try to enjoy the moment and to keep working hard.

Yes, as you said, it’s a challenge, it’s about working day by day, not letting yourself get down mentally, because if you fall into that mental slump, it’s very hard to get out. I try to work on it daily with the psychologist and then talk it over with the coaches, and well, wait for the opportunity to come up in the professional squad, and if it’s not here, I’ll evaluate what I need to in December and look for new opportunities, but right now my mind is on Unión, right now my focus is on making my debut here and, well, we’re waiting for the chance.

Yes, as I was saying, this group, I mentioned it to you today, the team, the work that Nico, Juan do, and I don’t want to forget the guys, it’s absolutely fantastic, wonderful, they’ve been at the club for two years and came in with enthusiasm, with good energy. Look, they were knocked out of a semifinal in the first tournament they took over, eliminated by San Lorenzo, then we were knocked out by Central, today we got our revenge, we made it to the quarterfinals, but I don’t want to stop thanking them for the good energy they brought in.
