Unión in his heart, Madryn on his skin: Corvalán eyes Colón clash | OneFootball

The former Unión captain spoke with the «La Doce» crew, and these were his remarks about his new team, his departure from Unión, and other topics.

A new beginning in the South

The experienced defender explained the reasons that led him to join Deportivo Madryn, highlighting that he found a highly organized club with serious ambitions of fighting for promotion. For Corvalán, this stage represents a renewed personal challenge and the ideal opportunity to regain regular playing time on the field.

Taking stock of his departure from Unión de Santa Fe

Looking back on his long eight-year spell with El Tatengue, the footballer admitted that the final stretch and his departure “got a little messy” because of the initial uncertainty after learning that he would not be part of the plans for the squad. Despite the bitter moments, he deeply valued having turned the situation around to play in the final matches of the season, which allowed him to say goodbye “through the front door” and receive the genuine affection of the fans.

Leadership and the value of setting ego aside

Reflecting on the ups and downs he experienced in Santa Fe—where he went from training apart from the squad to regaining the captaincy—the player emphasized professional maturity. He stressed that the key to overcoming those moments was to set ego aside and always prioritize the well-being of the club, accepting that the role of a leader is “to push forward from whatever place you are called on to occupy.”

A crucial match against Colón

Regarding Deportivo Madryn’s current situation, Corvalán discussed the crucial match they will play this Sunday against Colón, a direct rival sitting just one point above them in the standings. While he made it clear that his love for and sense of belonging to Unión remain intact, he emphasized that he is now fully committed to his current club and will be going for all three points.

The post-retirement horizon and a return to Santa Fe

Thinking about the medium term, the defender revealed that his family’s firm plan is to return to live in the city of Santa Fe once he decides to hang up his boots. With an eye on the future, he shared that he is in the third year of his coaching course, confirming his desire to remain involved in football from the dugout.
