Madelón shakes things up: Unión plan change for Lanús trip | OneFootball

Unión fine-tunes details for a match that could set a trend at the start of the tournament, and according to Radio Gol, Leonardo Madelón would introduce an important change in the team that will visit Lanús at La Fortaleza this Thursday at 19:15.

The modification would be on the left side: Bruno Pittón would come in place of Franco Fragapane, in a decision that responds to both functional issues and individual performance after the debut against Platense.

An adjustment that changes the formation

The move would not be simply positional. With Pittón occupying the flank, Mateo Del Blanco would advance his position to the midfield, a formula the coach already tested for a few minutes in the last match and left a positive impression. In that period, Unión showed greater connection on the left, better balance, and more depth, something the coaching staff seeks to maintain from the start against a more demanding opponent like Granate.

A signal after the weak debut

The 0-0 against Platense left concerns about the lack of offensive weight and some low performances. In this context, the upcoming change is significant: Madelón aims to strengthen the defensive structure with Pittón and, at the same time, give Del Blanco more freedom to move and connect in the opponent's field. The idea is to regain dynamics on the wings, a key aspect in the coach's teams.

The possible Tatengue eleven

With this change, Unión is set to line up with: Matías Mansilla; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Valentín Fascendini, and Bruno Pittón; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Rafael Profini, and Mateo Del Blanco; Cristian Tarragona and Agustín Colazo.

Although the team will be finalized before the trip, everything indicates that Madelón has already taken note of what he saw in the debut and is betting on a surgical adjustment for Tatengue to show a different face in the southern suburbs of Buenos Aires. Lanús, coming off a resounding victory against San Lorenzo, will be a demanding test. And Unión, with this change, will seek to start building responses on the field.
