Cristian Tarragona spoke after Unión’s elimination against Independiente in the Copa Argentina and backed Leonardo Madelón amid doubts about whether he will stay on.

The striker avoided stirring controversy over the refereeing despite the early yellow cards shown to El Tatengue: “I don’t like talking about referees, everything is decided on the pitch. We have to admit that we deservedly lost.”

Tarragona also highlighted the team’s work during the semester: “Unión earned respect. We were contenders in both tournaments, but this is football, and if you don’t win, you’re out.”

Regarding the coach’s future, he was clear: “I’ve known Leo for many years, and I think Unión suits him well. After that, we’ll respect whatever decision he makes.”

On a personal level, the forward said he feels comfortable in Santa Fe and made his contract situation clear: “I have a contract until December and I’m very happy at Unión.”
