Estigarribia or Ramírez: Madelón's decision for Unión's attack | OneFootball

Unión is already thinking about its next match, and Leonardo Madelón has an important decision ahead as he finalizes the team. With Cristian Tarragona available again after serving his suspension, the big question is who will partner him in attack: Fernando Estigarribia or Eric Ramírez.

Tarragona’s return gives the coach back an important reference point in offense, although it also creates competition for a spot in the starting eleven. In that sense, Madelón will have to analyze the characteristics of each option and what both players have shown in recent matches.

Estigarribia has been one of the usual options to partner the striker, while Ramírez is trying to make the most of every opportunity he gets. The forward made important contributions off the bench and scored two goals in just 95 minutes played, numbers that have put him firmly in the coaching staff’s plans.

Estigarribia’s situation is different. The striker has gone 494 minutes on the pitch without scoring, although his contribution is not limited exclusively to goals. His work linking up, pressing, and creating space is also taken into account by Madelón when deciding the lineup.

So, the competition for that spot remains open as the team prepares. Tarragona appears to be an important piece in attack, and the doubt is over who will take the place alongside him.

Madelón will have to decide whether to keep his faith in Estigarribia or back Ramírez’s good form to partner Tarragona. The decision will be up to the coach, who will look to find the best attacking formula for Unión’s next challenge.
