Corvalán: "I kept quiet to avoid unnecessary trouble" | OneFootball

After rejoining the professional squad's training sessions, although under the premise that he will not be considered by Leonardo Madelón, Claudio Corvalán gave an interview to LT10 to clarify his current situation at the club. Despite working alongside his teammates, his sporting situation remains unchanged, along with that of Enzo Roldán: both will be watching football from the sidelines.

“For us, it's nice to be back with the group, supporting them from that place. We used to do it before as well, but it's not the same when you're separated. It's hard not to overstep decisions. We were very happy to be able to do ball work together. We won't be playing football or doing tactical drills, but at least we're back to touching the ball,” explained the defender, who admitted that the return was unexpected: “We didn't expect it, because we hadn't resolved the contractual situation. So now we have to focus on what's coming.”

Regarding his conciliatory stance and the silence he maintained over the past weeks, “Mugre” was clear: “You try to respect the coach's decisions, always thinking of the group. I have always prioritized Unión. That's why I kept myself isolated and silent, because speaking could have caused unnecessary issues. Unión is above everyone.”

As for his relationship with the coaching staff, Corvalán revealed the tone of the conversation with the coach: “We had a talk with Leo (Madelón) and he told us that we would join the training sessions, but that when it's time to play football, we will be left out.”

Despite the context, the veteran does not hide his leadership spirit, although he respects Mauro Pittón’s captaincy: “Sometimes it's stronger than me (laughs), because with my experience I want to say things to help the group. I talk about it with Mauro, always respectfully. I even asked him if it bothered him that I was with the group. We have a good relationship. Today he is the leader and I have to support from the role I have. I know what the limits are. Still, everyone makes me feel important.”

Finally, the player cleared up doubts about his immediate future and his failed transfer to Cervecero:
